| - | [[http://aros.sourceforge.net/|AROS]] is an open-source, cross-platform re-implementation of AmigaOS. It is based on the AmigaOS 3.1 APIs. AROS 68k (as well as AROS for ARM) is **binary-compatible** to Amiga programs. AROS variants for other platforms are source-compatible to Amiga programs. **AROS 68k** is the recommended OS to run on the Vampire Standalone. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Advantages: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Open-source. | ||
| - | * Free to use. | ||
| - | * Contains numerous enhancements compared to AmigaOS. | ||
| - | * Many third-party, unreliable solutions are now cleanly built into the OS. | ||
| - | * Under active and continuous development. | ||
| - | * Among other things, progress is being made to improve overall speed. | ||
| - | * Supports most Vampire features out of the box. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Just like AmigaOS, AROS 68k consists of ROM-based components (Kickstart) and disk-based components. If you want, you can even combine AROS components with AmigaOS components, like this: | ||
| - | * You can load disk-based AmigaOS components on top of AROS Kickstart. | ||
| - | * You can load disk-based AROS components on top of AmigaOS Kickstart 3.x. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Please refer to [[..amigaos:|this page]] to learn how the Vampire works with Kickstarts. (When using an **AROS** Kickstart, you do not need to worry about the special considerations for **AmigaOS** Kickstarts mentioned on that page.) | ||
| - | |||
| - | AROS is free to download and use, but [[https://www.power2people.org/funds/aros/|donations]] to boost this Amiga platform are greatly appreciated. | ||
