Greetings,

I'm relatively new to the Picotron and even though it is a "fantasy workstation" I was wondering if there was a way to use it as an actual OS specifically for the Raspberry Pi. If anyone knows if there is a way to use it as an ISO for a Raspberry Pi I would love to get some info as to learning how to make it it's own OS.

I doubt it's possible without a host OS but it probably could be run with a very basic Linux (a bit like Pimiga 4 works).
I'd guess someone is working on something!

this is not possible

you need a base OS on the raspi to handle hardware and boot, then picotron is a regular program that shows a pretend desktop and window manager (when we get a raspi build)

what we can do is configure the base OS to boot as fast and discreetly as possible to create the illusion of the machine booting to picotron :)
