Pop it into your raspberry pi and power up. For reference, I was on a Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB option).ġ) Download TwisterOS image and burn to fresh SD card. A far cry from doubters saying to not waste your time. I'd describe it as slightly sluggish but completely functional. I just tried it out, and so far I'm impressed! I tried a few simple programs that were always a Windows staple for me (Textpad 8, LTSpice, WinMerge), and they all worked fine. There is also BOX86 which is included by default in TwisterOS: Even if it's unusably slow, I'm still interested as a curiosity.ġ) Is Pi386 still under development, a completed working project, or completely dead?Ģ) Is Pi386 capable of running on the Rpi 3B, 3B+, or 4?ģ) Is Pi386 its own OS/image, or is it an application running within your standard raspberry pi OS?Ĥ) Is it capable of running x86 programs that have graphical interfaces, or command line only?ĥ) Is there a single step-by-step guide on how to build/install/whatever the Pi386 and go all the way to running an x86 program? I'm generally curious in trying this out, but not too familiar with the concepts (and yes I realize it will be extremely slow since the x86 instructions need to be emulated with the ARM CPU). It looks like this Pi386 thread is still commonly recommended whenever someone is asking about running x86 programs on a raspberry pi.
