...It is designed to provide a minimal firmware layer that initializes hardware and prepares systems to boot, often used for educational purposes or retrocomputing experiments. The project likely explores how early computing systems managed hardware abstraction, memory initialization, and device communication before modern operating systems take control. It emphasizes simplicity and transparency, allowing developers to study and modify core boot processes at a granular level. The architecture is typically close to bare metal, requiring knowledge of assembly language and hardware interfaces. It may also serve as a foundation for building custom operating systems or experimenting with low-level system design. ...

RetroBIOS is an open-source project that provides complete BIOS and firmware packs for a wide range of emulators and retro gaming platforms. It includes thousands of verified system files required to run consoles and arcade systems accurately across tools like RetroArch, Batocera, RetroPie, and EmuDeck. Each BIOS file is validated against emulator source code to ensure correctness, compatibility, and proper functionality. The project simplifies setup by offering automated install scripts...

NetherSX2-patch is a community-driven continuation and enhancement of the NetherSX2 Android PlayStation 2 emulator, itself a modded fork of the open-source AetherSX2 project originally based on PCSX2. It focuses on providing a more complete and feature-rich experience by applying patches to the upstream emulator build and removing ad-related bloat, fixing notification issues, and exposing many internal settings so users have finer control over performance and compatibility on mobile devices....

AndroidNativeEmu is a Python-based framework designed to partially emulate Android native libraries, enabling developers and researchers to analyze and execute native code outside of a full Android environment. Instead of emulating an entire operating system, it focuses specifically on the native layer, allowing for targeted testing and reverse engineering of shared libraries (.so files). This makes it particularly useful in security research, malware analysis, and debugging of Android applications. The framework provides tools for loading binaries, simulating system calls, and interacting with native functions in a controlled environment. ...

...The API-rich Qiling Framework brings reverse and instrument binary to the next level quicker. Additionally, Qiling provides API access to register, memory, filesystem, operating system and debugger. Qiling also provides virtual machine-level API such as save and restore execution state. It combines binary instrumentation and binary emulation into one single framework.

dracxterm is a terminal for Android. Open it and a shell is waiting. If you want a full Linux, the app can install Debian 13 or Kali inside its own storage, and you work as you would on a computer. The phone does not need root, and there is no account to create. The terminal draws colours and keeps scrollback, so full-screen programs like nano and htop look right. UTF-8 text displays properly, CJK included. You get five workspaces, each with its own shell and history, plus an extra key...

OpenXCI is a Xen-based desktop hypervisor. Unlike other desktop hypervisors, it is not targeted at businesses wanting remote provisioning, but rather at individuals who want a high-performance alternative to dual/multi-booting.

A pure Python-based emulated Unix-like OS for Series 60 mobile phones.

The Wolfram Machine project is an effort to create a set of documentation and useful modules (both hardware and software) for a computing architecture based on the mathematical theories presented in Steven Wolfram's book _A_New_Kind_of_Science_.
