About DexOS

DexOS is a 32bit, asm OS, based on the idea, that it would be cool to have a OS based on a console type OS. Like you would get in consoles like the Xbox, PS2 or GameCube, but for x86. The difference with this new OS, would be you are free to code new game's or program's for this new console type OS.
 From the start, as you would expect from a OS based on a game's console OS, optimizing for speed has been of paramount important in the over all design. To this end there's no virtual memory paging, and only a single process is allowed (though that process can spawn multiple threads). The program runs in ring0, you have direct access to all hardware (including CPU and graphics). Memory allocation is the responsibility of the app--there's no front-end memory allocation. The entire OS will fit into less than 100k.
DexOS is bootable games console, that can be run from floppy, cd/dvd, USB fob or direct from Hdd. It's got lots of built in functions and libs to help programmers.
You can boot without touching the underlining OS. There's a team of coder's working on tools to help you code, including IDE, fasmport, theres also things like a full TCP/IP stack implemented.

The easiest installing OS there is:

1. Download the files

2. Unzip files

3. Put them on a floppy

4. Reboot your PC

That's it ! You don't need to format any partitions on your disk, answer setup-questions, or need a dedicated PC. Just boot from your DexOS Floppy and your up and running !


The FASTEST OS there is:
DexOS is the fastest Operating System available for the 386+ PC ! Everything in this system is focused on speed: the architecture, it's avoidance of virtualization, everything. And of course, the choice of development language: DexOS is written in 100% pure 32Bit Assembly!

A perfect development platform
Because of it's clear, modular architecture, we hope it will become a great development platform. The functionality of all 'parts' of the system can easily be accessed from your applications and if you miss a part, it's very easy to add it. That's the idea behind the architecture of DexOS. Everything can be connected, and everything is replaceable.We invite everyone to take a test-drive, and start using the OS as a development platform for your applications or for educational purposes. The use of the system is completely free, all we hope is that you post the programs, you have created back to us, so it can be shared with the rest of the world !!.
