This is so awesome. Thanks nanochess!I'm having the darnedest time trying to get it to work. Veteran Mac OS X user, very fluent with terminal/command line. I'm getting either 'No cartridge found' or 'No Coleco BIOS ROM found' even though I have a) Many carts in ROM format in a specific directory and b) The Coleco BIOS in the same folder, called 'coleco.rom'. I'm running Yosemite 10.10.4.Sounds like TPR had success, so I'm not sure what I might be missing.

Raspbian is a free operating system based on Debian optimized for the Raspberry Pi hardware but now it is also available for PC and Mac. These tools—both running on Raspbian/Debian—enable you to launch game ROMs and emulators and feature slick user console-inspired.
Any ideas?I'm not sure what is going on.0. Install libsdl 2. (drag SDL2.framework to /Library/Frameworks)1.
Unzip everything in one folder, for example 'documents/coolcv'2. Be sure to get coleco.rom (8192 bytes, no spaces in name) into same folder3. Using terminal go into that folder using 'cd documents/coolcv'4. Run one of the provided samples './coolcv quest.rom'If still doesn't work please show me a 'ls -all' of your directory.

Once I actually navigated to the directory, everything worked. I'm sure it just needed to know where the parent directory was in order to work properly.EDIT: By the way this is totally incredible, and as a forever Mac user, I can't thank you enough! Perhaps at long last, I'll be able to ramp up my development skills and code CV games on my Mac! Edited July 23, 2015 by phattyboombatty. Also, as kind of a Terminal newbie, what would the command line be if I have my roms in a different directory. For example, right now they are just in a folder called 'roms' inside the coolcv folder. The way I'm testing it, I'm just moving the rom into the same folder as the executable, but I figured there has to be a way to call the roms from another directory, too, right?Oh yes, the easiest is to make a subdirectory under CoolCV directory, like 'roms'If you put quest.rom in the directory roms you could invoke CoolCV like this./coolcv roms/quest.rom.

AdvertisementSo many other operating systems can run on a Raspberry Pi. Just make sure you’ve got a monitor, mouse, and keyboard to hand before you boot it up, and a fast microSD card to run your operating system of choice. The Best Raspberry Pi Operating Systems 1. ARM-Based Linux Operating SystemsLet’s get this Raspberry Pi OS collection out of the way first.
It’s estimated that there are over 80 Linux-based distributions for the Raspberry Pi. These range from Raspbian to Linutop and even PiBang.While is the default option (and recommended by the Raspberry Pi Foundation), you might prefer or the. To get away from the Debian-based distros, there’s a choice of (a Fedora-based distribution), and.Then there’s for pen testing, and a whole host of operating system images intended for the Pi, covering so many different purposes.For youngsters, Kano OS Broken URL Removed is an education distro that is available for all Pi computers, not just those sold by Kano. If you want to use your Raspberry Pi as a media center there is a good selection available.
Although these operating systems are invariably built on Raspbian/Debian, they’re also based on Kodi, the popular media center software. What you get with these systems is a, just as you would any other Raspberry Pi operating system.So, what’s available?
Well, versions of OpenELEC Broken URL Removed are available for all consumer models of the Raspberry Pi.Meanwhile, is compatible with the Raspberry Pi 1, 2, 3 and Zero, with regular updates available via the dedicated admin screen. It’s also available as an option in NOOBS. Back to Linux, and there are a pair of retro gaming operating systems that you can install on the Raspberry Pi. These tools—both running on Raspbian/Debian—enable you to launch game ROMs and emulators and feature slick user console-inspired interfaces that can be browsed with a game controller.Several retro suites are available for you to choose from.offers emulation of a wide collection of retro platforms from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. Its main rival is, which supports for some later systems that RetroPie does not. Prefer to steer clear of these? Other options are available.is considered ” a lightweight Linux distribution that transforms a small computer into a full blown emulation console,” while the is a collection of emulators based on Arch Linux., meanwhile, is a compact alternative that squeezes emulation of 12 platforms plus ScummVM onto your Raspberry Pi.Remember: when using an emulator, you will usually need boot and game ROMs.
To use these legally, you should have previously purchased the original systems and the games.For more details, check our guide for everything you need to know about. BSD is not Linux, but it looks like Linux and works in much the same way. Descended from Research Unix via the Berkeley Software Distribution (hence “BSD”), FreeBSD (or large chunks of its code) is one of the most widely used operating systems in the world.You’ll find FreeBSD code in macOS, the Nintendo Switch, and Sony’s PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.Running on a Raspberry Pi is largely a command line-focused experience, albeit one with the ability to launch applications and games. A surprisingly large collection of software is available for FreeBSD, so if you haven’t checked it out already, now is the time—on your Raspberry Pi!The dedicated operating system is available to download (visit the for more information).For an alternative, consider. Based on the same code as Chrome OS, Chromium OS can be installed on netbooks, laptops and the Raspberry Pi. With Chromium OS installed, you’ll have access to the same cloud-based tools found on Chrome OS. (Check out more.)In fact, there’s a project right here: build your own Chromebook with a Raspberry Pi!
This project is in continuous development, so new features might be introduced (or removed) compared to the video above.Several Chromium OS-based projects for the Pi are in progress. Perhaps the most polished is, although you have a strong alternative in. Windows 10 IoT Core. Let’s be clear: Windows 10 IoT Core for Raspberry Pi is not Windows 10 as you know it. Rather, it is a rebadged version of Windows Embedded, and has no desktop environment. Its purpose—as evidenced by “IoT”—is as an Internet of Things OS.This means that the Pi can be used for IoT development purposes, but for the best results you’ll need to connect remotely to the Windows 10 IoT Core device from a different PC.From here, you can deploy software from Visual Studio to it.
A Raspberry Pi under Windows 10 IoT Core will also run Python apps.Note, however, that it’s a bit of a development cul-de-sac. While useful for a specific set of tasks, Windows 10 IoT Core isn’t a Linux replacement for the Raspberry Pi.Here’s our: 9. Android and Android Things. Amazingly, it’s also possible to run Android on a Raspberry Pi. That shouldn’t come as much of a surprise—Android seems to run on just about anything these days, from PCs to set-top boxes. You can even.Various versions of Android are available for the Pi, with the current versions based on Android 7.0 Nougat.
Some Android TV builds are also in development at the time of writing.As you might expect, installing Android on your Raspberry Pi gives you access to the vast collection of Android apps and games. There may be some compatibility issues, but overall stability is good. You can find a copy of the most up-to-date version at the. AROS: AmigaOS Remake.
One of the most popular operating systems of yesteryear, AmigaOS is a closed source project currently owned by Amiga, Inc, and licensed exclusively and perpetually to Hyperion Entertainment. Several clones have been developed over the years (most notably MorphOS), but only AROS is available for the Pi.As you can see from the demo, some games and applications are available, and you should find the modern Amiga-like experience worthwhile.Note that you can also, and use any of the applications and games from its vast library.
IchigoJam BASIC RPi. Finally, IchigoJam BASIC has been ported to the Raspberry Pi.Designed for the low-power, sub-Raspberry Pi single board IchigoJam computer from Japan, IchigoJam BASIC RPi is designed for low level, basic computing.The operating system was designed to make programming in the BASIC language easy, and has support for digital I/O, PWM, I2C, and UART functions.If you’re looking for a language to get to grips with and you’re new to programming, try.
