Q: What is Arcade PC?
A: Arcade PC games are modern arcade games not playable with MAME, such as the BlazBlue series.
Q: Is this Teknoparrot?
A: Not quite. Teknoparrot is only a game launcher, and unfortunately, it does not work on Batocera/Linux.
Q: How does it work?
A: Launching Arcade PC games in Batocera is achieved using JConfig through Wine.
Q: What are JConfig and Wine?
A: JConfig is not just a program for launching recent arcade games; it includes a wide collection of launchers, tools, emulators, and patched executables for a better "arcade at home" experience. Wine enables Windows games/applications to run on Linux (Batocera).
Q: Does this sound complicated? Should we be worried?
A1: No need to worry! We've packaged the games to launch on most systems (Intel i5 / AMD Zen1).
Q: Is there anything else we need to know?
A: Yes, a few minor details:
- Most lightgun games require an actual lightgun (e.g., Sinden).
- Some lightgun games can be played with a mouse (a mouse indicator icon is present in the wheel).
- All games use a custom Wine GE runner and manual pad2key made by SPiRiT! (That is why this pack only works on RGS Batocera update)
- A lot of Boxart is fictional as these games does not have boxart, missing boxart is custom created by G-spawn! ty ty!
