These devices used either the [[wikipedia:SuperH|SH-3]], [[wikipedia:MIPS architecture|MIPS]], or [[wikipedia:ARM architecture family|ARM]] architectures, due to the differences of these three architectures many projects state their support (or lack there of) for them, normally offering separate downloads for each supported architecture.

;History
'''TOS''' was developed by [[Atari]], and came preinstalled on all official [[Atari ST emulators|Atari ST]] variants. TOS was discontinued when Atari left the computer market.
TOS was replaced by the '''FreeMiNT''' (then called '''MiNT'''), in a somewhat official capacity (came bundled with Atari Falcons as MultiTOS) and unofficially by hobbyists installing it on their computers.
;Before diving in;
* '''Note that FreeMiNT is [https://github.com/freemint/freemint/wiki/Compatibility in general very compatible] with Atari TOS programs'''
* Much of the below software's minimum requirement is a Falcon030 with 64 MB RAM or Falcon060 with 64 MB RAM according to [https://mikro.naprvyraz.sk/ Mikro's homepage]. * The download page for each individual piece of software should give more accurate system requirements.
{{Infobox platform
|title = FreeMiNT
''Note that custom versions of [[#Windows_9x|Windows 9x]], [[#DOS|DOS]] and Linux distros were made for FM Towns hardware. Most software for these systems are not made for FM Towns, software support will vary.''
'''[[wikipedia:FM_Towns#Operating_system|TownsOS]]''' created by [[Fujitsu]] is the operating system for [[FM Towns emulators|FM Towns]], this operating system is based on [[#DOS|MS-DOS]] with the Phar Lap Software [[wikipedia:Phar Lap Software|386 DOS-Extender]] to run programs in protected mode.
