Background and Motivation As software ecosystems evolve, legacy binaries and system images become difficult to run on current hardware and operating systems. Full virtualization solutions (e.g., hypervisors and complete virtual machine images) reliably reproduce older environments but often require substantial system resources, complex configuration, and heavyweight tooling. EmuOS v1.0 targets a middle ground: a user-friendly emulation platform that emphasizes quick setup, low memory/CPU usage, and modular support for different CPU architectures, peripheral interfaces, and filesystem formats. Its intent is educational, preservation-oriented, and practical for lightweight development/testing tasks. 7 Stability (1–10): 8 (crashes rare, but ROM
