I don't think there are any other Amiga emulators besides UAE...at least, not for the PC. Anyway, I've gotten UAE to work before. It's a little difficult, though -- you need a lot of patience, as well as a Kickstart ROM image and Workbench disk images. It's possible to find these on the web, but since there still is an Amiga, Inc. and they own the copyrights, it's technically illegal, so you're on your own as far as that goes. (However, there is a company called
Cloanto that sells a product called
Amiga Forever that, among other things, includes
legally licensed Kickstart ROM images and Workbench disk images.)
Still, you might check out
AIAB (Amiga In A Box), which requires only a Kickstart ROM image. AIAB is basically the current state of the Amiga art, as far as I can tell. It's pretty impressive, considering the relative power of the Amiga.
Of course, if you want the true hardcore retrocomputing experience, you could install Workbench yourself...
here's a guide to doing that. That's what I did. Of course, it's not nearly as functional or impressive as an AIAB install would be.
