Jeremy OS

A lightweight, controller first system that turns a cheap handheld into a pocket computer.

Jeremy OS boots directly into three adjacent spaces: RETRO is a curated ROM library, UXN runs compact software objects made for Uxn and Varvara. WORKS holds software adapted or made specifically for the device eg. FORM.

The build

ArkOS provides the Linux foundation. RetroArch, Uxn2 and native applications are brought together by a custom Python launcher at 640 x 480, with consistent controls and exit behaviour.

Built for an R36S clone as a personal system and ongoing experiment.
