The philosophy

The game is the star. MUN is its stage.

  1. Buy.
    Buying a game means owning it again.A legitimate Game Card starts its game with no account and no activation server.
  2. Own.
    What’s yours travels with you.Your saves live on the card and carry on at another console.
  3. Play.
    Insert it and play.No connection and no library to manage. When updates exist, the original version will still be there.

The console

Small. Full of character. Yours.

Switch it on, slide the game in, and play.

The board Coming soon

One board, the official one.

MUN will have a single official configuration, ARM64. We are taking our time to choose it, weighing everything together.

01ARM64 SoCCPU, a GPU with Vulkan and an NPU on one chip.

02Memory and storageMemory next to the processor and at least 32 GB of storage, for the system and recovery. Your games live on their Game Cards.

03Game Card readerOn the edge of the board: the game goes in here.

04Video and audioThe output to your screen.

05USBFor accessories.

06NetworkWired or wireless, optional. Playing does not need it.

Development guide MUN OS 0.1.0-dev

Boot it on your system.

There is no hardware yet, but MUN OS already boots on a virtual console. Build it, make a Game Card and play.

MUN OS’s code is not available yet: we will publish it soon. These are the steps you will follow then.

  1. A Mac with Apple Silicon, the Xcode command line tools and Python 3.9 or later. From Homebrew, QEMU and e2fsprogs.

    $ brew install qemu e2fsprogs

  2. The build downloads its pinned inputs and runs inside a disposable virtual machine. It needs about 10 GB free.

    $ git clone https://github.com/Play-MUN/mun-os.git
$ cd mun-os
$ ./mun dev build --name one

  3. A virtual card with MUN Collect, the test game.

    $ ./mun card create collect --variant game \
    --game .local/mun/builds/one/games/mun-collect/mun-collect

  4. It boots in a window, with sound. Closing the window cuts the power.

    $ ./mun dev run --guest first --window

  5. From another terminal. In the window, choose Ver ficha and then Jugar. Arrows move, S saves to the card and Esc exits.

    $ ./mun dev vm first card-attach collect

$ brew install qemu e2fsprogs

$ git clone https://github.com/Play-MUN/mun-os.git
$ cd mun-os
$ ./mun dev build --name one

$ ./mun card create collect --variant game \
    --game .local/mun/builds/one/games/mun-collect/mun-collect

$ ./mun dev run --guest first --window

$ ./mun dev vm first card-attach collect

A development image for QEMU. The official hardware configuration is still to be chosen.
