insaneOS System

insaneOS

InsaneOS is a lightweight, bare-metal "toy" operating system designed for Raspberry Pi Zero, Pi Zero 2, Pi1, Pi2, and Pi3.
(Pi4 and Pi400 support is planned for the future).
InsaneOS is ideal for those looking for a minimal, efficient platform to run emulators and lightweight applications.
With a blazing-fast boot time of just 2-3 seconds, it delivers a smooth and responsive environment for retro gaming and emulation.
InsaneOS features a 50Hz refresh rate by default, ensuring ultra-smooth scrolling in PAL emulators, perfect for retro enthusiasts.
The default shell can be customized with different fonts and colors to emulate your system of choice.

The current all-in-one release (v20241008) from the Deadline Demoparty can be installed by extracting it to the root of a FAT32 SD card.
Due to the currently used USB stack not all USB devices are supported. Please use an official Raspberry Pi Keyboard and Mouse.

Future updates will introduce additional keyboard layouts, a development environment, and source code for all the open-source ports.

Supported development languages include C and C++ (based upon newlibc)
SDL1 is available and SDL2 support is planned for future versions.
