🦅 THE ERA OF FREEDOM CONTINUES! TeknoMVS FREED, Teratoma Unleashed & Massive TeknoParrot Updates! 🔥
Citizens, the revolution keeps moving forward!
Another week, another major step in the Era of Freedom! We're continuing our mission to make more of our emulation technology accessible, improve compatibility, preserve arcade hardware knowledge, and put the future of TeknoParrot directly into the hands of our Citizens.
And this time, we have A LOT to celebrate!
🔓 TeknoMVS HAS BEEN FREED!
Another emulator has broken free!
As part of our ongoing Era of Freedom, TeknoMVS has officially been liberated!
Our mission remains simple: more accessible emulation technology, better compatibility, continued preservation efforts, and more power to the community.
We're not just talking about freedom. We're making it happen, one emulator at a time.
The National Assembly has spoken, and the Era of Freedom marches on!
🧬 TERATOMA EMULATION SUPPORT IS HERE!
TeknoParrot now supports Teratoma for all Citizens!
With the latest compatibility improvements, Teratoma is now officially supported for all Citizens through TeknoParrot!
Our developers continue expanding compatibility across arcade hardware and software, bringing more systems and titles into the scope of our emulation technology.
And we're committed to delivering more compatibility improvements, more features, and more surprises!
🏛️ NATIONAL ASSEMBLY: THE FUTURE IS LOOKING INSANE!
Last night's National Assembly was absolutely fantastic!
We received a tremendous amount of valuable feedback from our Citizens, discussed the future of TeknoParrot, and gave everyone an exclusive look behind the scenes at several brand-new emulation cores currently in development!
And yes, some of these are BIG.
Systems showcased included:
🎮 3DO: Another legendary gaming platform entering our emulation ambitions!
🏎️ Konami ZR107: Bringing more of Konami's arcade hardware into the spotlight!
🕹️ Taito JC: Another exciting piece of 1990s arcade history!
🔥 SEGA Chihiro: One of the most exciting systems on our development roadmap!
🚀 AND MORE!
These are work-in-progress emulation cores, not finished releases, but our Citizens got a glimpse of what's being built behind the scenes.
What once seemed impossible is gradually becoming reality.
This is exactly why the National Assembly exists. Our Citizens aren't simply watching TeknoParrot evolve. They're helping shape its future through discussions, feedback, and democratic voting.
⚡ MASSIVE TEKNOPARROT UPDATE! HIKARU IS FLYING!
We've also rolled out a substantial update covering:
TeknoNaomi • TeknoParrotUI 1.0 • TeknoParrotUI 2.0 • TPOnlineService
There's a huge amount to unpack!
🚀 SEGA HIKARU: FROM 15 FPS TO OVER 150 FPS!
One of the biggest breakthroughs in this update is the enormous performance improvement to our Hikaru emulation.
In our Ryzen 9 7950X3D and RTX 4090 testing:
Brave Fire Fighters:
Before: Approximately 15 rendered FPS.
After: Over 150 FPS uncapped at 8× internal resolution!
Normal gameplay: Stable 60 FPS with proper pacing.
That's more than a 10× performance improvement in this test!
We've also reduced loading and scene-transition stalls.
Brave Fire Fighters received numerous graphical fixes, including improved flames, lighting, electrical arcs, transparency, and persistent effects.
And that's not all.
Hikaru now also supports stereoscopic rendering for side-by-side output and VR! Physical VR headset testing is still ahead.
🎨 NEW GRAPHICS OPTIONS!
TeknoNaomi now includes more ways to customize your arcade experience, with settings available in both UI versions:
Image filtering: Bicubic, Lanczos, and SSAA.
Lottes CRT shaders for that authentic arcade display experience.
CRT rendering with an optional native-resolution resolve.
Custom bezel artwork.
Custom player 1 and player 2 crosshairs for supported lightgun games.
Automatic crosshair hiding during inactivity.
Whether you prefer crisp modern rendering or the nostalgic look of an arcade CRT, you've got more choices than ever.
🌐 MORE ARCADE MULTIPLAYER! MORE ONLINE ROOMS!
We've implemented Hikaru linked-cabinet networking and expanded TPOnlineService with new multiplayer rooms!
New linked-cabinet support includes:
🏁 Star Wars: Racer Arcade: Up to 4 cabinets.
🏎️ NASCAR Arcade: Up to 8 cabinets!
🤖 Virtual-On Force: Up to 4 cabinets.
🌌 Planet Harriers: Up to 2 cabinets.
Brave Fire Fighters continues to support its existing two-player shared-cabinet room.
And here's a milestone worth celebrating:
🌍 240 MULTIPLAYER REVISIONS ACROSS 155 GAME FAMILIES!
That's the current TeknoNaomi TPOnlineService compatibility catalog!
Star Wars: Racer Arcade linked sessions have already been tested successfully over LAN, while wider live-service and larger cabinet-group testing continues.
🎮 FORCE FEEDBACK & CABINET IMPROVEMENTS!
We've also made substantial improvements to the driving and cabinet experience:
SDL3 wheel and haptic device support.
Better recovery when force-feedback devices temporarily disconnect.
NASCAR Arcade force-feedback and output corrections.
Club Kart and NASCAR steering and pedal direction fixes.
Matching force-feedback and cabinet output settings in both UI versions.
Because arcade racing deserves to feel like arcade racing!
🔍 AUTOMATIC GAME INSTALLATION DETECTION!
One of the biggest quality-of-life upgrades is here.
The new scanner can:
Search multiple user-selected folders and their subfolders.
Recognize supported existing PC game installations.
Identify compatible MAME ZIP and CHD file layouts.
Handle variations in folder names, spacing, and punctuation.
Recognize PCSX2X6 .chd and .ps2 file formats.
Preserve existing EXE, ROM, and CHD paths.
Report missing or unresolved configuration paths.
Optionally verify existing MAME ZIP contents and CHDs using MD5 checksums.
A huge thank you to the dedicated arcade community who have collected, preserved, and compiled the data that makes this feature possible! Their contributions to arcade preservation are invaluable.
🎛️ ONE CONTROL SETUP FOR YOUR ENTIRE LIBRARY!
Tired of configuring the same buttons over and over again?
We've made major improvements to our shared controller configuration system!
Controls for all games is now accessible directly from the main menu.
You can use:
Shared controller templates.
Per-system default mappings.
Game and control searches.
Previews before applying changes.
Fill-empty-only mapping or deliberate replacements.
Persistent multibinder preferences.
Both the normal controller editor and multibinder now follow the same game setting, while preserving hidden bindings and game-specific controls.
Configure once. Reuse everywhere.
🛠️ EVEN MORE FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS!
And because our developers apparently don't believe in taking breaks, there's even more:
TeknoParrotUI 1.0 & 2.0
Fixed repeated first-run add-games prompts.
Improved scan-folder management and removal.
Added a maximize button to UI 1.0.
Carried the Family Guy trackball fix and Naomi improvements into UI 2.0.
TeknoParrotUI 2.0
Android launch and input work for Lupin 3 and Virtua Fighter 5 APM3.
Additional game-specific compatibility recipes.
Improved Battle Gear 4 preset selection.
Fixed Giga Wing Generations portrait orientation.
Both Windows UI builds and extensive automated regression checks passed. Wider device testing continues for the features that still need it.
🏛️ BUILT BY DEVELOPERS. GUIDED BY CITIZENS. FREED FOR THE FUTURE.
Think about what we've accomplished together.
TeknoMVS freed.
Teratoma compatibility added.
Hikaru performance transformed.
240 multiplayer revisions supported by TeknoNaomi.
And our National Assembly continues giving Citizens a real voice in TeknoParrot's future.
The Era of Freedom isn't a one-time event.
It's a new direction for TeknoParrot.
Every emulator improvement, every new compatibility profile, and every supported hardware platform brings us closer to a future where arcade technology and gaming history can continue to be studied, preserved, and experienced.
TeknoParrot develops and provides emulation software and related services. We do not distribute copyrighted games, ROMs, CHDs, or other proprietary game data. Users are responsible for obtaining and using their own game files lawfully.
None of this would be possible without our developers and the Citizens who continue supporting this journey.
Thank you for believing in TeknoParrot. Thank you for participating in the National Assembly. And thank you for helping us make arcade history!
🦅 LONG LIVE TEKNOPARROT!
🏛️ LONG LIVE THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY!
🔥 LONG LIVE THE ERA OF FREEDOM!
