There is a version of the operating system for the Raspberry Pi that has been compiled for an x86 architecture - for a normal PC. This can downloaded as an ISO image which can be used to create a bootable install on a normal USB stick.
This version of the operating system is variously referred to as Pixel, or Debian for the x86. In fact it is very nearly the normal Noobs install you would get when you buy a Raspberry Pi. It includes everything Box Of Stops needs to run. And it's not too demanding on the hardware it needs either - it will typically run on a 10 year old PC or laptop.

Clearly a PC has no [[Gpio button|Gpio buttons]], but otherwise this can be used as a full version of Box Of Stops.
Although the overall performance of a PC is typically better quicker than a Raspberry Pi, we think on average the [[Latency]] experience on the Pi is still better. Clearly this varies more from PC to PC than it does from Pi to Pi, but it remains the case that we recommend the Raspberry Pi for the best experience when playing Box Of Stops experience.
