The Raspberry Pie uses ARM processors, so any operating system that supports them will probably work.

Raspberry Pi
Developer Raspberry Pi Foundation
Initial release February 2012 (Original Raspberry Pi)
Latest release / October 2023 (Raspberry Pi 5)
This page is about software on the Raspberry Pi platform that emulates other hardware.

The Raspberry Pi is a series of single-board computers using the ARM architecture, developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

Any operating system that supports the ARM architecture will probably work on the Raspberry Pi. Any of these Linux Distros that support ARM should support the Raspberry Pi.

Before diving in;
  • See each Wiki Category Consoles, Computers and Arcade for individual dedicated system pages to see provided up-to-date listings and in-depth information on specific aspects like hardware features, peripheral support, compatibility and also enhancements features etc.
  • Some games have Game engine recreations and source ports that run on Raspberry Pi, which can be the better than emulators for their specific games.
  • This page lists emulators that support ARM/Raspberry Pi on Linux distros or using Bare Metal. For emulators on other operating systems that support Raspberry Pi see: RISC OS.
