The OS library — all open source & free

⚠️ About BIOS files. BIOS files (PlayStation, Sega, Nintendo…) are proprietary and protected by copyright: hosting them is illegal. This page therefore offers no BIOS at all, only open-source or manufacturer operating systems.

The rule: every player “dumps” the BIOS from their own console, which they legally own. An open-source firmware installs on a microSD card without erasing the original OS — the right choice depends on the chip, not on the brand.
