This is great news. The Raspberry PI is a very inexpensive computer and this would be great for Amiga users. A next generation Amiga for everyone.

You might want to check one of the Amiga forums or AROS-exec. I heard there is a dev that is working on it and has a patreon page.

But I must say I'm impressed. Quick booting, very responsive on a 3B, I can read my web pages served by other PC's and access t'internet. I quite like the GUI. If I can figure out how to do what I want, and if it can do it, you might have won a convert. It is great for retro gaming. That is what I ...

Question : Does RISCOS still require a three-button mouse ? Everything I've found with a quick surf around to get up to speed suggests it does. Are such mice even available these day with USB interfaces ? Is it even worth going to the effort of installing it of one hasn't such a mouse ? You can use...

Thanks, I'll give that a go.

I was having issues with installing RISC OS on my Raspberry Pi 3, but by following instructions in another thread, I was able to install it, however, when I load certain applications, such as Netsurf, I have to press alt + break and close them as they wont load. One of the instructions was: Open !Bo...

This looks like a fantastic project. Ever thought of putting up a donation button on your site? Edit: I recently tested the operating system with a CRT television. The emulator booted up, but I was unable to get my USB keyboard (Keytronic) to work. I had to plug and replug my keyboard each time I wa...

RISC OS gets my vote.

I don't believe its possible to install on Virtual Box. http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 55&t=52365

I dont know, but have you tried ArcEM or another emulator to play Elite?

I'm going to scrap the project. I'm going to turn my 1280x1024 CTL LCD monitor into a all in one PC instead. It will be much easier to work with and will be much smaller. My idea (for now) is to make a Altoids case and mount it on the back until I could house the PI inside the monitor.

chocolate

Wow, that looks cool.

The CRT part worries me a little, but I could always find a professional who could help me discharge the CRT monitor and disassemble it. I tried disassembling my eMac 700 before when I wanted to replace the broken disk drive, but I found out that I had to remove things that were near the CRT monitor...

Greetings, I have a Apple eMac 700 that I want to gut out and use as a all in one PC with my Raspberry PI. Questions: Could I use the CRT monitor, disk drive; speakers and I/O Ports (from the eMac) with the Raspberry PI, or would I be better off using different hardware (LCD Monitor, speakers; USB H...

!Netsurf on RISC OS works well (Tested on the 256MB Model B Raspberry PI). Browsing might not be 100% smooth (some pages it is), but its much faster than what I was experiencing on Raspbian. It doesn't bog down the system so you can still run other applications. Loading images is another story. If y...

On !fastdosbox (RISC OS), I was able to run Commander Keen 1, Duke 1, and God of Thunder with out any major problems, but games like Commander Keen 4 had too many issues (unplayable ones). I might give the GNU/Linux port (Raspbian) a try.

chocolate

I run AROS natively (sometimes) on my Desktop PC. Hopefully, I'll be able to do the same (natively, not Linux hosted) on my PI. This port should really boost interest in the AROS project. Good job.

Cool beans. I was looking for more themes for Theme Manager.

I've tried Aemulor (demo), but I was unable to get any of the 26bit games to work (I tested the free ones on Acorn Bar). I heard Aemulor is great for other software (non games). If you want to play Elite or many of the other fantastic games then you should use ArcEM.

chocolate

Have you tried RISC OS (OS that isn't GNU/Linux)? It's very speedy and user friendly. You can run multiple applications at once with out any lag.

chocolate

This looks amazing. Good job on your project.

This is my favorite OS for the Raspberry PI. When insert text in a text-box (on Netsurf), the keyboard would keep on imputing the same character until I press a random key. - Again, its another temporary con. Is your keyboard attached DIRECTLY to the Pi or does it go via a USB Hub? I found when typ...

This is my favorite OS for the Raspberry PI. Pros [*]Fastest OS on the PI with a desktop GUI by default. It is very lightweight. [*]The desktop is very responsive. There is no lag when you drag windows around. [*]Very easy to use. RISC OS might be different from a major OS like Windows, or GNU/Linux...

Post screenshots of your Raspberry PI desktop.

Rules: Don't post desktops with obscene, vulgar, and\or illegal content (or anything that goes against the forum rules).

For anyone who is having problems with !unixhome: install with !packman. My top 3 software is !Fastdosbox, !Cretin, and !DigitalCD. I like !fastdosbox because it can run some (not all) of my favorite Dos games. Example: God of Thunder works well with little to zero lag. !Cretin is a fantastic IRC cl...
