✨ ARANYM ✨

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because i'm about to tell you about the most iconic little time machine in the whole General Commands Manual lineup: ARAnyM, aka Atari Running on Any Machine. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

aranym [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you just run it, and you get a whole Atari. periodt.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea ☕ — the main goal of the ARAnyM project is to create a virtual machine that would let everyone install, use and improve Atari ST/TT/Falcon/clones operating systems and their applications. like, everyone everyone. no gatekeeping. it's giving inclusivity, it's giving preservation, it's giving main character energy for a whole retro computing platform. 👑

⚠️ NOTE ⚠️

for proper use of this package you will need an image of an Atari Falcon TOS ROM image file — or you can use the open source ROM image from the EmuTOS project at http://emutos.sf.net 🫶

like, no ROM, no boot. that's not a vibe check you can skip, bestie. 😭
