A gamer has spent countless hours developing NESOS, a functional 8-bit operating system for the NES that would even run on this Nintendo Entertainment System toaster. It was programmed in 6502 Assembly language and then compiled using CC65, a freeware C compiler for 6502 based systems.
This operating system has two core applications: a word processor and the settings. The former enables users to print characters as well as certain blocks to the screen and then saves that data in the form of a file for later use or editing. The settings app is used to displays system information and lets users select one of seven cursors, along with one of 53 possible desktop background colors. Plus, the settings app doubles as a file manager. Download it here now.

The word processor may also be used without the Family Basic Keyboard. Using a standard NES or Famicom controller the user may type a character by pressing the A button. Holding A will cycle through all 64 possible characters that can be drawn on the screen. Pressing the B button will move the cursor forward in the document. Holding select with A will cycle the characters in reverse order. Holding Select with B will move the cursor backwards in the document,” said the developer.
