The goal of the Syllable project is to create a family of easy-to-use free software operating systems. It is the continuation of the BeOS-like AtheOS. Syllable Desktop has its own C kernel with ... [More] symmetric multiprocessing, multithreaded pre-emptive multitasking, high POSIX compliancy, 64-bit journaled filesystem (AFS) with metadata, an integrated native GUI architecture with an object-oriented C++ API, SDL, singular native toolkit and multi-user desktop environment. The system seeks to be an integrated, lightweight, easy-to-program, powerful, high-performance graphical desktop environment which avoids legacy OS paradigms that frustrate developers and have hindered the computing masses' adoption of a free-software desktop. Syllable Server is a matching small and efficient Linux server. [Less]

MESS is a MAME-based project which documents the hardware for a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles, and calculators through software emulation, as MAME does for arcade ... [More] games. As a nice side effect to this documentation, MESS allows software and games for these hardware platforms to be run on modern PCs. The goal of MESS is total accuracy to the original hardware behaviour, which is achieved through low-level emulation of all hardware components (video chips, CPUs, etc.), the implementations of which are shared across all emulated systems using the generic MAME architecture.

What is it?The Amithlon Revival Project aims to continue the work of Bernd Mayer & Harald Frank on Amithlon, while ensuring that no license terms (Open Source, or proprietary) are broken. Support ... [More] should be extended to other projects such as AmiKit and Anubis. Ultimately, the project is supporting AmigaOS (through emulation) and her clones to run as native as possible on x86 hardware. Goals & IdeasAdapt GPL'd Amithlon kernel code for modern 2.4 and/or 2.6 Linux kernels. Look into adaption of {Free,Net,Open}BSD kernels with (E-)UAE? Develop a method to acquire user's original ROM images & AmigaOS data. Include AmiKit installation procedures in above method on live install media. [Less]

BoingWM is an Amiga OS themed window manager for X11. It has been designed from the outset to be small, efficient, and easily extendable. It will support the Amiga OS 1.x, 2.x and 4.x visual ... [More] decorations, and its widgets and appearance will function in a similar fashion to AmigaOS/Intuition. It is based on the WindowLab window manager. In future releases, it will allow for a modular approach to window decorations. It is currently in development, and probably does not work as advertised just yet. Please look over the ProjectMilestones for what features will be implemented, a timeline and the current status of the project. It might also interest you to look over the OtherWork to see a list of other similar projects. [Less]
