This is a big one.

Several new arcade titles now have Citizen-only TeknoParrot support, TeknoParrot Online has expanded again, TeknoSS32 and TeknoNaomi received major improvements, and a large number of fixes landed across TeknoParrotCore, TeknoParrotUI and our online services.

New Citizen-Only Support

Citizen access has expanded with new TeknoParrot profiles and compatibility work for:

• The Swarm

• Burning Striker

• Polar Wars

These additions expand the range of arcade hardware and software supported by TeknoParrot for Citizens.

The Swarm

The Swarm received a huge amount of compatibility work across several updates:

• Boot fixes

• PCB error fixes

• Aiming fixes

• Fullscreen fixes

• Stereoscopic 3D fixes

• Loading fixes

• Path fixes

• Date and region fixes

• Reboot fixes

• Display fixes

• Reduced process startup delay

The resolution settings in TeknoParrotUI have also been fixed.

Burning Striker and Polar Wars

Both titles now have Citizen-only TeknoParrotUI profiles.

Resolution field handling has also been corrected for:

• Burning Striker

• Polar Wars

• Teratoma

• The Swarm

Border Break X Improvements

Border Break X received a major compatibility and control update.

Changes include:

• Fixed network connection

• Fixed aiming and toggle controls

• Added bindable Insert Card and Aim Mode buttons

• Added support for using a gamepad for the right grip instead of a mouse

• Added custom resolution support

• Added additional key binding options

• Fixed the digital axis helper when two opposite directions are held

Tekken 7 R2

Tekken 7 R2 emulation now supports a new version:

4.20 / TR2 15.01 / SDBS 1.80

EXVS2 InfiniteBoost Improvements

EXVS2 InfiniteBoost and the Live Monitor emulator received another round of improvements.

Live Monitor Emulator

• Improved accuracy of several commands

• Behavior is now closer to the real Live Monitor

• Added more LM commands

• Automatically creates a missing folder when the game cannot create it itself

InfiniteBoost

• Added support for 1 human + 1 CPU teams in Class Matches

• Prevents partner session issues

• May also fix hangs on the result screen

• Added Audio Compatibility Mode

• Audio Compatibility Mode can force Windows to convert sample rates when needed

The new setting is available directly from TeknoParrotUI.

FGO and Kancolle Audio Fixes

Fate/Grand Order Arcade and Kancolle Arcade no longer silence all system audio when running on 8-channel audio devices.

Kancolle Server also received changes:

• Joint Exercises are always open

• Matchmaking is enabled

Minecraft Dungeons

Minecraft Dungeons now allows you to select the dongle region directly from TeknoParrotUI.

TeknoSS32 Improvements

TeknoSS32 received another major round of polish.

Better Screen Selection

Air Rescue and F1 Exhaust Note now support:

• Both

• Monitor 1

• Monitor 2

This matches the functionality already available in OutRunners.

During online play, each seat automatically displays its own monitor.

Existing profiles move to revision 6 with Both selected by default.

Better Window Sizing

Offline windows now size themselves according to the actual picture being displayed.

This fixes 320-pixel games opening too wide with empty side bars.

Once you manually resize or maximize the window, automatic resizing stops.

Fullscreen and VR are unaffected.

F1 Exhaust Note Scrolling Fix

System 32 games now run the main CPU at 12 clocks per opcode instead of 8.

This fixes the jittery scrolling text in F1 Exhaust Note's attract mode.

Multi 32 games remain at 8 clocks.

Small timing side effects include:

• Dark Edge, Holosseum and Alien 3 may drop a few game-logic frames

• SVF and J.League may drop around 1%

Alien 3 HUD Flicker Fix

Alien 3 originally renders each player's HUD and crosshair on alternating frames.

On modern displays this causes visible flickering.

TeknoSS32 now blends the current frame with the previous frame by default, keeping the HUD and crosshair steady.

The tradeoff is slightly softer motion and roughly half brightness for those alternating elements.

You can override it using:

--flicker-blend on

or

--flicker-blend off

Game state and captures are not affected.

Sprite Priority Fixes

Sprite group priorities have also been fixed for:

• F1 Super Lap

• Dragon Ball Z

TeknoG4 Online Rooms

TeknoG4 now connects to TeknoParrot Online.

Online rooms have been added for:

ATV Track

• Set 1

• Set 2

Smashing Drive

• World

• UK

• Spain / Portugal

Each room links two cabinets.

Every room launches the exact selected revision, and revisions are grouped in the room selector just like they are in TeknoParrotUI.

Access to these TeknoParrot Online rooms is available to Citizens.

Gaelco Football is already two-player on one cabinet, so it does not need an online room.

TeknoParrot Online Expanded Again

A large group of previously LAN-focused arcade games can now use TeknoParrot Online.

Supported games include:

• Batman: 2 players

• Crazy Ride: 8 players

• Dirty Drivin': 8 players

• Fast and Furious: 8 players

• Fast and Furious Drift: 8 players

• Fast and Furious Super Bikes: 8 players

• Fast and Furious Super Bikes 2: 8 players

• Fast and Furious Super Cars: 8 players

• GRID: 6 players

• H2Overdrive: 8 players

• K.O. Drive: 6 players

• Showdown: 4 players

• Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing: 8 players

• Storm Racer G: 8 players

• Storm Rider: 8 players

This update also includes:

• Raw Thrills I/O board emulation

• OpenParrot titles migrated to TeknoParrotCore

That means more of the older support is now moving into the current TeknoParrot architecture while also gaining access to the modern online stack.

Eggman DAT Updates Restored

Eggman DAT scanning has been restored in TeknoParrotUI.

Optional reference updates are available again, and the TeknoParrot backend now caches Eggman DAT release metadata for update clients.

TeknoParrot.com Improvements

The website and support systems also received a large number of backend upgrades:

• Growth analytics

• Ticket reopening

• Login safeguards

• Support user profile management

• Support workflow improvements

• Admin improvements

• Vote weights are now visible while voting is active

These changes help us improve support, manage Citizen access and continue building out TeknoParrot Nation.

This update touches nearly every part of the project: new Citizen-only support, online multiplayer, emulator accuracy, card systems, compatibility, website infrastructure and core architecture.

Thank you to everyone supporting TeknoParrot and helping fund continued development.
