hi i hear ppl talking of aros and wanted to know if it is compatible with amiga software?
Hi. AROS is a open source effort to bring the beloved AmigaOS philosophy and structure to modern platforms, providing a clone of it that runs natively on new and cheap hardware. This means, however, that programs must be recompiled from their sources to be binary compatible with current processors. In order to run old games, you need an emulator instead, a virtual machines which provided both the OS (or at least the kickstart and original ROMs) and the hardware emulation, which AROS doesn't provide. You can run UAE or EUAE on AROS to play old games, as like as on any other operating system, the advantage to do it in AROS is that you get the same familiar environment also outside the virtual machine. If you want to try AROS in its current shape I suggest you to download Icaros Desktop Live! or Light, and try to run it natively on your computer. Check the
