Creating The SIMPLEST Retro Handheld OS

Today we’re going to set up a retro handheld to be so simple and intuitive that a child (or an non-tech-savvy adult) can navigate it with ease. I’m calling it “StarkOS” — simple, tailored ArkOS, and can be set up on over a dozen different handhelds. It takes a little work, but the end result will give you a stellar user interface (with custom box art) that is a joy to use.
