Nintendo’s Open Source Operating System

11.30.07

Cairo for graphics, Squeak (a dialect of Smalltalk) for programming, ECMAScript, written in C++, and runs on x86 and Qemu. It’s quite a huge accomplishment but not exactly surprising that it exists when you realize that Nintendo games are operating systems in themselves.The source is freely available so those with some knowhow and time to kill can mess around with it.

    Great article showcasing that it isn;t rocket science to program an OS and make it work! Nintendo could teach Microsoft a thing or two in this area for sure.
