UAE was almost entirely unusable in its first releases, but slowly and step by step, it fleshed out its support of the Amiga chipset and by the end of 1997 was able to emulate an Amiga 500 at a quality and speed that were sufficient for productivity use and for many games.

Some considered UAE to be attempting the impossible to be demanding that a system read, process and output 100 MB/s of data when the fastest PC was a 66 MHz 486, while keeping various emulated chips (the Amiga chipset) all in sync and appearing as they were supposed to appear to software. There have been many threads in the past on Usenet and other public forums where people argued about the possibility of writing an Amiga emulator. UAE has been ported to many host operating systems, including Linux, Mac OS, FreeBSD, DOS, Microsoft Windows, RISC OS, BeOS, Palm OS, Android, the Xbox console, the PSP and GP2X handhelds, the Wii console, and even to AmigaOS, MorphOS and AROS.

UAE also supports alternative system ROMs, such as those derived from the AROS project, however these do not provide the same degree of software compatibility as the original ROMs. These are included under license in packages like Amiga Forever. UAE does not include the original Amiga operating system ROM and files, which are required for running an Amiga system. UAE also supports mapping host operating system's directories to Amiga hard drives.
Actual Amiga disks cannot be used, because of limitations in the floppy controllers used in other computers Images of Amiga formatted hard drives can also be made. These images have the file extension of " ADF" (Amiga Disk File).

UAE is almost a full-featured Amiga emulator.
Since none of the popular expansions fit any more, the abbreviation no longer stands for anything, and the software is simply known as UAE - this occasionally gets backronymed as Universal Amiga Emulator or Ubiquitous Amiga Emulator. In its early stages, it was known as Unix Amiga Emulator and later with other names as well. UAE was released in 1996 and was originally called the Unusable Amiga Emulator, due to its inability to boot.
