YaadOS v1.0.0 prerelease

YaadOS is a ready-to-import VirtualBox appliance styled as an early-2000s Indian cyber cafe arcade. It boots directly into the keyboard-driven YaadOS Arcade and includes the offline game library, Dial-Up Connect sequence, YaadMessenger, and Guestbook 2000.

Appliance

  • VirtualBox 7.x appliance
  • Debian 12 with Xfce and LightDM
  • 2 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, VMSVGA, NAT, and audio enabled
  • Default login: yaados / retro2003
  • Runtime works offline

This prerelease was imported into a fresh VM on the build host and passed boot, service, arcade, game-readiness, guestbook, and kiosk smoke checks. Cross-machine acceptance testing is still recommended before a public demo.

Download and reassemble

GitHub limits each release asset to less than 2 GiB, so the OVA is supplied as two raw parts. Download both parts into the same directory.

Windows Command Prompt:

copy /b YaadOS-1.0.0.ova.part-00+YaadOS-1.0.0.ova.part-01 YaadOS-1.0.0.ova

Linux or macOS:

cat YaadOS-1.0.0.ova.part-00 YaadOS-1.0.0.ova.part-01 > YaadOS-1.0.0.ova

The reconstructed OVA must have this SHA-256 digest:

f7d8350c2887e594ba90ad1c43c0ec5a7fa41cd0107e2ba14d178c533f40ebd6
