Licensing Kickstart ROMs for Raspberry Pi

[deadwood]

AROS will be free, or close to it, but it's not as out-of-the box as Amiga Forever. You'd gain some performance in that it would be running natively on the Pi's CPU, but said CPU may not have enough horsepower to power many of the modern AROS applications. Then again, it may - I'm not sure. You'd still be under emulation for the "classic" stuff, albeit in a more integrated way.

As per this post, Pascal Papara is already working on integrating AROS Vision m68k which uses AROS Kickstart ROM into AEROS which already runs on Pi. So ROMs can come to Pi sooner than we think :

Initially AROS ROMs were not working with "old" UAE/E-UAE ports while they worked with WinUAE. The reason was that AROS ROM required serial port to be working in the emulator. Maybe this has change since then, but I would check if your emulator has that working.

Here is a patch that added the support to Janus-UAE:
