While you can run most games and applications on any laptop or PC, some software can be too taxing on low-performance machines.

EmuOS is not the first project created to preserve and archive computer games and software. The Internet Archive hosts a wide variety of game and software collections. For example, the DOS game collection or the Internet Arcade, all of which can be played in EmuOS.
