Aranym

• • Aranym is a virtual machine emulator, as it has never existed in real. Imagine a Falcon less the DSP with a 68040 on steroid, 1 GB ram, a 24bits video card, Ethernet, and you will have an idea of the beast reaching the power of a 68040@ 5 Ghz on a 10 years old core i3.

  • Obviously there is a price to pay for that : the compatibility may suffer, and ST games and demos won't run. Generally all well written GEM app will run happily, and the list is long ... If you need hardware emulation, have a look at Hatari section below.

  • Aranym boots on Emutos, Mint and XaAES with all the sparemint linuxies : EasyAraMint. 

  • The desktop is very simple and efficient, and is managed by TeraDesk and Taskbar. It is organized around the Home folder icon, where are stored all your applications and documents. It's your work folder. The System Folder icon will give you access to the root system and all the different drives attached to it. Folders, applications and files can be installed onto the desktop : please refer to TeraDesk Help for more details ( Shift + F11).

Hatari

• • Hatari emulate at hardware level the Atari range from ST to Falcon. It is very compatible with the original models and should run almost every demos, games and applications. It can also improve the original machine by overclocking processor, expanding memory, and video extended resolution.

  • Hatari is setup to boot by default on Emutos in STE mode. If you want to boot a different TOS you need to put it into H:/.system/tos folder and setup Hatari accordingly.

  • Hatari full documentation can be found here : The Manual
