Oh did I mention the funny screensaver – a slide show of error messages of numerous systems?
The interface does not rely on X-Windows and is written in Python.
We will use CHAMELEON PI, as it so nicely combines most common emulators in one single Raspbian based IMG file for the Raspberry Pi. Not only does CHAMELEON PI combine a nice set of emulators, but it also offers a nice menu interface to select your emulator of choice. Note: ChameleonPi no longer seems to be actively developed, but can still be downloaded. Just to name a few very good ones: MAME4All, RetroPie and of course Shea Silverman’s efforts. You can now code to your heart’s content.Let me first say that there are some great alternatives to CHAMELEON PI. You now have a fully functional Raspberry Pi Desktop running on Windows. Select Auto-mount in the selection window.Select the add icon on the right of the window and add the folders you want to share between Windows and Raspberry Pi.In the main VirtualBox window, select the Raspberry Pi VM.Type ‘shutdown -h now’ and hit Enter and wait for Raspberry Pi to shut down.Type ‘sudo adduser pi vboxsf’ and hit Enter to enable file sharing.Type ‘sudo reboot’ and hit Enter to reboot your virtual machine to enable the updates.Navigate to Devices, Shared Clipboard and set it to Bidrectional.
It works with most architecture types and most versions of Windows 10 so you should be fine. You download the OS, install it in VirtualBox and run Raspberry Pi within the virtual machine. You can emulate Raspberry Pi rather easier in Windows 10 if you have VirtualBox.
