'''EmuTOS''' is a replacement for [[Atari TOS|TOS]] (the operating system of the [[Atari ST]] and its successors), released as [[free software]]. It's mainly intended to be used with Atari [[emulator]]s and clones, such as [[Hatari (emulator)|Hatari]] or [[Atari Coldfire Project|FireBee]]. With it, the use of the old, [[Proprietary software|proprietary]] TOS versions can be avoided, as they are usually difficult to obtain. |

Unlike original TOS versions, latest EmuTOS can work (sometimes with limited HW support) on all Atari hardware,<ref>[http://emutos.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/emutos/emutos/doc/ Readme files describing what HW different EmuTOS build variants support]</ref> and its latest version has support for features<ref>[http://emutos.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/emutos/emutos/doc/announce.txt?revision=1.18 v0.8.7 release announcement]</ref> lacking from older TOS versions: ColdFire CPU, IDE, (VFAT compatible) FAT16 support and emulators' "Native Features"<ref>[http://wiki.aranym.org/natfeats/proposal NatFeats specification]</ref> support. |
|||
By design, EmuTOS lacks support for some deprecated OS functions like line-A,<ref>[http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=331100 v0.8 release notes]</ref> and there are also some other differences on non-documented OS features. Because of this, some old demos and games don't work with it.<ref>[http://hg.tuxfamily.org/mercurialroot/hatari/hatari/raw-file/tip/doc/emutos.txt Hatari emulator EmuTOS compatibility list]</ref> |
|||
EmuTOS doesn't yet have support for [[Atari Falcon]] sound matrix or DSP,<ref>[http://emutos.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/emutos/emutos/doc/status.txt?revision=1.29 EmuTOS OS call support]</ref> nor VDI graphics support for 8-bit and 16-bit resolutions. Because of this, most [[Atari Falcon]] specific games, demos and applications don't work with it.<ref>[http://hg.tuxfamily.org/mercurialroot/hatari/hatari/raw-file/tip/doc/emutos.txt Hatari emulator EmuTOS compatibility list]</ref> |
