AROS Research Operating System

Last update 2023

https://aros.sourceforge.io/

The AROS Research Operating System is a lightweight, efficient, and flexible desktop operating system, designed to help you make the most of your computer. It's an independent, portable and free project, aiming at being compatible with AmigaOS at the API level (like Wine, unlike UAE), while improving on it in many areas. The source code is available under an open source license, which allows anyone to freely improve upon it.

Black Arch Linux

Last update 2022

https://blackarch.org/

BlackArch Linux is an Arch Linux-based penetration testing distribution for penetration testers and security researchers. The repository contains 2498 tools. You can install tools individually or in groups. BlackArch Linux is compatible with existing Arch installs. For more information, see the installation instructions. Also, news is published on our blog.

Please note that BlackArch is a relatively new project. To report bugs and request new tools, please visit the issue tracker on Github, stop by IRC, or email us.

The BlackArch Live ISO contains multiple window managers. Below you will find screenshots of a few of them.

In order to install BlackArch on an ARM platform, follow the install instructions for your device on archlinuxarm.org and install BlackArch as an unofficial user repository. Soon we will release adaptations of the Arch Linux ARM images with BlackArch packages pre-installed.

RasDOS

Last update 2010

http://www.jontylovell.net/index.php?page=31

RasDOS is a custom build (image) for the Raspberry Pi that contains 3 emulators capable of running DOS applications and games.

The emulators are:

rpix86 (v0.17)
FastDosBox (CVS)
DosBox (0.74)

The fastest emulator is rpix86 by Patrick Aalto. It can emulate a 486 running at around 20Mhz.

Features

Highly optimized for the Raspberry Pi
Simple GUI menu to start any of the 3 emulators
DOS folder is shared across the network for easy file copying
SSH enabled for remote access to the command line

Setup

Simply download the image, extract from zip and write to your SD card. The image is designed for a 4Gb SD card.

Single Step Setup

I use USB Image Tool to write compressed images in a single step to SD cards. this saves the need to extract the .imz file first before restoring to SD.

Mini vMac

Last update 2020

https://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac/

The Mini vMac emulator collection allows modern computers to run software made for early Macintosh computers, the computers that Apple sold from 1984 to 1996 based upon Motorola's 680x0 microprocessors. Mini vMac is part of the Gryphel Project.

Finnix

Last update 2015

https://www.finnix.org/ARM

Finnix is a self-contained, bootable Linux CD distribution ("LiveCD") for system administrators, based on Debian. You can mount and manipulate hard drives and partitions, monitor networks, rebuild boot records, install other operating systems, and much more. Finnix includes the latest technology for system administrators, with Linux kernel 3.0, x86 and PowerPC support, hundreds of sysadmin-geared packages, and much more. And above all, Finnix is small; currently the entire distribution is over 400MiB, but is dynamically compressed into a small bootable image. Finnix is not intended for the average desktop user, and does not include any desktops, productivity tools, or sound support, in order to keep distribution size low.

http://www.morere.eu/spip.php?article176

https://sourceforge.net/projects/raspicade/

The Development of Raspicade is Stopped

I stop the development of Raspicade to contribute to Recalbox. This distro is much better than mine, and managed by a team. Thanks to all users who help to make raspicade better. See you on RecalBox Community.

Features

Arcade ready distribution
EmulationStation, Pimenu, Mame4all-pi, pi-SNES, GnGeo (2 players for all, even pisnes), DGen, Picodrive
GPIO support, Xin-Mo Arcade module support
Keyboard and keyboard encoder support (like IPAC, Kade http://kadevice.com/or pikeydx32 http://atmjoy.com/pikeyd-pi-gpio-keyboard-daemon-i2c-mcp3017/ with pikeyd daemon). Keys are the same for all emulators and are based on the Mame default keymapping.

Raspberry Pi 2B, Pi3B:

The file “cmdline.txt” inside the FAT partition of the raspberry 3.9.3A image are corrupted.

To solve the problem, you have to create a new file named “cmdline2.txt” at the same level of the corrupted “cmdline.txt”. Copy this text inside the “cmdline2.txt” :

root=HD=ZS-A7E25B3C_3.9.3A_1 rootwait panic=10 loglevel=0 elevator=noop dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 quiet

Rename “cmdline.txt” to “cmdline3.txt” and finally rename “cmdline2.txt” to “cmdline.txt”.

The raspberry should start normally with this new “cmdline.txt”.

Bye.
