That Terminator game looks kinda interesting. But for me there is nothing that beats the arcade with a big, heavy, chunky, plastic rifle with loud haptics whilst playing L.A. Machineguns. That game really makes you feel like you are zooming around in a chopper on rails.
Need to disable antivirus and windows securities to run roms that have .exe files altered to get this emulator to work. As much as i want to play these games, massive red flags for this emulator. It's not going to touch my PC thanks anyway.
Hey Jon. Long time no see. Worked with you in AZ back in the day. You got me my first raspberry pi. Now I’m running a Batocera mini pc in my living room and happened across your channel. Subscribed and looking forward to what you do in the future.
If you have a AMD gpu forget, most work only with GForce, and you need to pay monthly to play the best games, and some games come with trojan, they say it's a false alert but i don't want to risk my pc. for light gun games i use a wiimote controller with mayflash.
Interesting with the the "trojan" because the games are found on the archive. I'd be willing to learn more. I don't mind paying for the patreon. They are preserving these games and to me that's worth paying 5 bucks a month especially with how much work they put into it. Thankfully I do have an nvidia card so I haven't had any issues.
Yeah, the games, for the most part, are easy to find. Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme 2 VS & one of the Shining Force Cross games have yet to be public. Also, I never signed up for a Patreon for anything other than this. Worth it!
Haven't been a PC Gamer since 2013. Imagine my surprise to find this emulator. Bought myself a gaming laptop i9 with gtx 4070. Guess I'll be running this full whack with probably no issues 😁
@@GenyaArikado I never bothered with this emulator in the end. Seems dodgy as fook asking to install custom .exe and allow it to bypass windows security etc. Didn't risk it. Every other game i play runs smooth as hell :)

on mario kart most of the stages were locked. can you unlock them? also I played mario kart at my local arcade and got first place. I was surprised it was game over despite placing first, sux.
Yeah once I saw I could get Terminator salvation and aliens Armageddon early I was throwing my 5$ at the patreon screen! Really been into playing arcade shooters with wiimote and teknoparrot one my favorites!
This is definitely a cool emulator, I'm pretty new to it too. If you're wanting to get a racing wheel for these... I would highly recommend the GRS Flight Yoke. It replicates the older Star Wars Arcade yoke control, and it's perfect for flying, racing, and even shooting games.
I'm having issues with quite a few games not recognising the xbox one controller (while the others work well) it's also not 4k display friendly - quite a few games appear to take 1/4 of the screen when play full screen and there's nowhere to change the resolution. other than that, it works great
some of these games aren't small some of them are a few gigs. others are less than 1gig just depends. as far as hardware goes I wuld reccomend a 1060 or higher. could probably run most of them on like a 1050 though.
Awful compatability I've got to be honest. Tried troubleshooting everything and this emulator just will not work. All of these "compatible" games that I want to play just wont run crash on launch all the time.
QUESTION: Can anyone help me with this issue: When trying to run Mario Kart Arcade GP DX ver.1.10 on my PC, an error appears stating that it couldn't find a compatible Direct3D device. After some research, I discovered that the game needs a GPU that is compatible with at minimum DirectX 11. My GPU is DirectX 12, perfectly up to date, but the game still won't work. Any ideas anyone? Note: I have installed the patch found on TeknoParrot for the game, it didn't fix the issue.
if you can still find it, i highly recommend playing the actual Star Wars Battle Pod. Mach Storm is similar deal, except it is Ace Combat It used to be at Dave and Buster's, but not there anymore, at least the ones that i go to.
Funny that people think the Terminator Salvation movie sucked when honestly, EVERY Terminator movie after T2 has sucked. Salvation was probably the best one since T2... and I know that's really not saying much. lol
@@theretrobro Nothing that takes it to a rectangle shaped screen in settings. I found a mod that needed to be done, all is well now. Thanks for the response just the same.
I just went through all the trouble of getting sega model 2 and 3 emulators working well on my rog ally, now im wondering if this is as much of a headache to get setup. But i fully agree about emulating arcade and game preservation, a shame these games disappear without it
well .. the only reason i would get this emulator is to play ( Jurassic park arcade 2015 ) game .. and as long as i cannot see it listed there with the compatible games then its a deal breaker for me .. i mean look at Tekken 7 for example its there in the list ( even do its available in ps4 & other platforms already ) and i don't necessarily need to emulate it .. yet they add it there any way for some bizarre reason .. so why not Jurassic park ? at least its only arcade exclusive .. and the only way to play it is in this emulator that's when it comes in handy .. but they decided that ignoring it is a better idea some how
They supported tekken 7 (arcade version) because they are working very hard to get the loader to support and preserve as many modern arcade games as possible… so regardless of the fact that tekken7 exists on PS4 etc they are putting the effort in to support the actual arcade version for the sake of preservation similar to the mame project. As for Jurassic park, there has been word that they are infact working on trying to make it playable hopefully in the near future. Your attitude that JP is the only game worth using this loader for is kind of naive tbh.. There are so many titles supported on TP that are arcade exclusive and cannot be played any other way in the world besides TP or the original physical cabinet. Not to mention international release games that might never have come to your region. Over time the physical cabs will disappear and cease to operate so TP will remain the only way to play these games or else they will literally be lost forever. We all want JP playable but a ton of work goes into getting each and every one of these games up and running on TP so sorry but to say the loader is not worth your time without JP is just disrespectful
Man, thanks for your video. Just 2 remarks: 1 - i was wondering, I tried to grab like 10 different names, from the games list, searched it on Google/ etc, and i came across some roms, from 'classic' roms websites... where those games were listed... and the roms were just 1 or 2 megabytes big. I would assume that a modern arcade game, from 2006 to 2010/later, at high resolutions, high quality audio, etc, would require at least several hundreds of megabytes, or even 1+ gigabyte.... and not just a couple of megas....? How big should those roms be ? ~10MB ? +100MB ? 500-1000MB ? Thanks. A second question, maybe someone can answer, It looks like the last 'true' arcade games that were emulated, were stuff like sega model 2 or model3 (around 20-30 games each), and maybe another 1 or 2 brands, from 2000-2005/6., like daytona... sega rally... etc But what about the games released after 2007... after 2010... 2015... or even 2020 ? Were some of those arcade games ever released, as roms, and playable, even by early v0.xx alpha emulators ? Or none of those more modern arcade games were ever released, because of the complex architecture they use... probably also connected to a server, for all the licensing, stats, drm, etc operations.. etc etc... and it is simply impossible to hack, dump the image, create a rom, and an emulator...? I've found some mame/arcade titles, witch chd files, that could weight several gigabytes... but i was never able to run them, to know at least what they all were about, which title, which year, etc... Thanks for any info.
Man so what’s like the minimum specs u need to run most of the games on Tekno Parrot ? Because they have a ton of the newer Arcade light gun games I want for my light gun can I’m building
Really nice to see I have most of the games up and running but Rambo will not run for me could really do with a video on how to get this one up and running pls
Teknoparrot is really a launcher and not an emulator since these are all Windows based arcade games running on native hardware... Also the UI on Afterburner needs to get scaled a bit to fit in the corners
Hi. I´m recently into TP. Will a mini PC work for it? These are the specs of the one I´m planing to get: SER5, AMD Ryzen 7 5800H (7 nm, 8C/16T) up to 4.4 GHz, 32 GB DDR4
I brought the kinhank 500gb hard drive with 60k games inc Sega model 3.... Teknoparrot is on there but no roms in folder. I tried dragging and dropping into it but I believe it is a bit more involved ...£18 delivered aliexpress 🇬🇧
It's not really emulation. Modern arcades are built using PC hardware. The same stuff you have at home. The only difference is that arcade companies fight really hard to keep the data protected and sealed. But eh...fans find a way to dump the games and play them at home.
WHEEZE.. It's "Return of the Jedi" bro. "Empire strikes back" doesn't take place in the forest. 😄😄💖💖 Nice guess tho. I'm currently upgrading my GPU to rtx3060 ti.
Question, so for cabs like the racing games where you can link a bunch of them up, this emulator allows you to link up over LAN or the Internet? Thinking about building a setup for this to take to a lan party so we can all play some arcade racers.
What configuration do you recommend to play these games in a crisp 60 fps ? About the graphics card, is a GeForce 1650 sufficient, or rather RTX 3060 ?
It hurt my soul when you said the Star Wars speeder bike level was Empire strikes back the second one, I’m such a nerd haha. I’m definitely going to add techno parrot to my multi cab
I can't get Dead heat to work at all. "This code requires a valid serial number to run, Program will be terminated" was that the issue you were running into? If so, how did you fix it?
It might be because I'm old, but I really don't find anything special about those games. We can have better on consoles and PC... I understand what you mean about preservation though. But even Daytona USA 3, which I just played a minute ago, feels very disappointing and meh... I prefer the Dreamcast version from 2001. I guess I'm reaching that old age where I feel like I've seen everything already.
Hopefully both Aliens: Armageddon, and Terminator: Salvation finally get released from Patreon soon! I wonder what's taking so long for that to happen too?
@@theretrobro I know, right? It's been almost ten months since they were added to Teknoparrot, but are still locked behind that damn paywall with that being said as we speak though! L.O.L.!
Does anyone get an “invalid serial numbers program will now terminate” message when booting some games I think I’m missing something here. Everytime I try to boot Mario kart Gp this message always pops up anyone have a solution. I found one solution In a video but the link was broken ☹️
That Terminator game looks kinda interesting. But for me there is nothing that beats the arcade with a big, heavy, chunky, plastic rifle with loud haptics whilst playing L.A. Machineguns. That game really makes you feel like you are zooming around in a chopper on rails.
Terminator Salvation Movie most definitely did not suck. It was easily the 3rd best after T1 and T2.

Very informative video. I absolutely the video of the Star Wars game. It reminds me of Star Wars trilogy arcade game.
How much space do you need for all of the files and software and what Gb and storage size do you recommend for PC to run this without issues
