new piece of Pi

[gaula92]

There are many Amiga games converted back in the day to Risc OS.
Zool (32bit version) works natively on Risc OS Pi, among others. Not compatible games are being fixed. See full list here:

!!!! Update to latest development Risc OS ROM. The Risc OS ROM that comes with the default distro is outdated and has keyboard issues that will lock up the games.
Latest ROM can be downloaded at the developers site here:

NOTE: Risc OS ROM is open source and free. Risc OS scene is not plagued by bad born bastards who steal money from old OSes, like the sad Amiga scene.

Risc OS also has cheap and solid hardware with a VERY GOOD price/feature ratio, not like the lame OS4/MOS hardware situation.

No, there is a Linux-hosted version of AROS on the Pi. Lame, very lame, as it runs on WORST POSSIBLE scenario: the Xorg nightmare, the biggest piece of **** I've ever met for a graphical GUI. A massive resource hog, unaccelerated on the Pi.

So no AROS on the Pi. Forget about getting anything usable from this hosted thing.

Risc OS is a way better OS anyway.

What do you expect on that hardware?. Cray performance?. You are just bashing for the sake of it. The pi is ideal for a hobby machine, not for a day to day work environment, period.

Wrong. Try a real desktop OS on it (stock Linux kernel + Xorg is pure bloatware, and this is coming from a daily Linux user) like Risc OS and you will see it IS viable as a day to day work enviroment. There is a lot of  great productivity software on Risc OS wich FLIES on the Pi.

sorry but AROS hosted is faster than normal linux desktop... except... well except on the Pi.

With accelerated Xorg (ie hardware scaling and blitting) it may be. But I hope Xorg NEVER gets accelerated on the Pi and we finally get Wayland instead. X is the problem: the Rpi is a perfectly capable machine.
