DOSBox, and Windows 95 through RetroArch's DOSBox-X core
jutleys booted a prepared Windows 95 disk image in RetroArch's DOSBox-X core with working mouse buttons; plain DOSBox on the A-06 needs output=opengl to behave.
What it takes
- Software only
Difficulty 1 of 3 — easy.
Details
The trick is RetroArch's DOSBox-X core: give it a Windows 95 .img that was already installed and set up elsewhere, tune a few core settings, and it runs on the console with left and right click working through the trackball — jutleys' screenshots show the desktop on the built-in panel, and he notes the method works on any device that runs RetroArch. Any pre-configured image will do, not only his.
For plain DOS, grhmhome's A-06 thread reports stock DOSBox going fullscreen but drawing half the screen until a reboot, and DOSBox Staging lagging; DeRock25's suggestion is output=opengl instead of surface in the DOSBox config and a refresh rate that matches the panel, since DOSBox changes the X resolution rather than scaling internally.

Rex's ClockworkPi-RetroPie image (Pi-Gen, EmulationStation, RetroArch) is the working answer; the Debian install and gamepad threads fill in the rest.
Run a Meshtastic node on the console itself: meshtasticd drives the AIO's SX1262 over SPI, with the graphical MUI, the web UI or the Contact TUI client on top.
On Rex's images a single apt install gives you SDR++ for the AIO's RTL-SDR or a USB dongle; his AIO package adds the sdrpp-brown fork.
Two receivers, two recipes: the 4G card's GNSS via AT+CGPS on /dev/ttyUSB3, or the AIO's GPS on the serial port (/dev/ttyS0 CM4, /dev/ttyAMA0 CM5) at 9600 baud.
The AIO's PCF85063A keeps time off-grid once the right overlay is in config.txt — and on a CM5 the built-in fake RTC has to be switched off first.
Rex's AIO package ships readsb and the tar1090 map as a disabled service with a menu launcher; Intercept or a hand-built dump1090 are the alternatives.
