Modern and free Amiga-Compatible Experience on Amiga and PC
AROS Vision - the free alternative
AROS is a open source implementation of AmigaOS, vastly compatible to 3.1 API. The 68k version of AROS (called AROS 68k) is binary compatible to Amiga binaries. This means you can extend or replace components with amiga 68k binaries. In future there will also be a linux branch of aros with aros software and components compiled to linux. Current versions of aros vision are based on aros 68k. There are three different desktops on aros currently, wanderer (native aros desktop), scalos and magellan. Aros Vision offers versions based on scalos and magellan.
Based on Aros
AROS offers many components that are 3rd party on amigaos. This includes RTG (CybergraphX), Network, AHI, MUI-Implementation (Zune), USB support (Poseidon). Additional of course most of the standard libraries and devices
Games
There are many games included in AROS Vision
WHDLOAD
WHDLOAD is preinstalled by default (also some games). For easier use there is iGame included. AROS roms are preinstalled by default that work with 60-70% of all games. If available original roms can be used.
Tools added
Included are lots of utilities and commodities, incldung screen blanker, screengrabber, encrypting and decrypting of files and much more
Sophisticated Magellan and scalos config
Lots of filetypes predefined that offer options by rightclick. That offers f.e. many conversion options even with exotic formats like koala pictures
Player and viewer preconfigured
many formats are shown or played by double click. That includes many picture formats (f.e. iff), sound or video but also archives are opened by double click
Why is it for me?
If you remember Amiga it is interesting for you. It imitates the behavior and API of AmigaOS and runs many amiga applications and games
Memories
Aros Vision turns your system in a amiga compatible system that runs amiga software and works like you remember it
Preconfigured
You do not need to invest much work and time in it. Just download and use it. All software you need is preinstalled.
runs everywhere
Aros Vision works in UAE on almost any system. In future it will be also tested on real hardware (Apollo V4 SA and PiStorm). Next big thing will be Aros Vision on Linux.
