Well, no. Most Pi images are based on Debian, and I think it requires at
least a Linux kernel on any image. So, it can run anything that runs in
Debian, as long as theres a 'armhf' build. I know from experience that DOSbox
works in PiOS. I've learned QEmm also works, but I've been having trouble with
it.

The main problem I have is that my Pi isn't connected to a screen or input, and
doesn't have PiOS installed. I'm using an image called DietPi, which is
command line only, and interacting through SSH (mostly).

As the name implies, DietPi is about as stripped-down as a Pi image can get.
A fresh install is something like 1.5 GB, uses about 300 MB RAM at restart,
and has practically zero CPU overhead. Perfect for running a bunch of
different projects on a 3B+...The reason I'm running it headless is much
simpler. I have only so many keyboards, mice, and monitors, and I don't have
a KVM switch.

And getting DOS to work is just the FIRST step! XD

Meanwhile, Mystic has a linux install, and was working in just a handful of
hours. I brought it fully online in less than a week. It did help that I had
stumbled upon Avon's tutorial videos. :)
