ArkOS Emulators and Ports information
- All retroarch emulator cores (ex. Those that start with lr in the front of the emulator names in the list below) have controller configurations setup automatically by Retroarch. You can hit (Designated retroarch hotkey)+X, then go to settings, controllers to review and change to your liking.
- Rom folders are located in either /roms when accessing the device via network or from the EASYROMS folder in Mac, Linux or Windows if accessing the micro SD card in a micro SD card reader directly on a PC.
- All bios files go into the bios folder located in the roms (EASYROMS) folder unless specifically stated otherwise in the emulators list below. For those devices that support a dual (2) sd card setup (ex. RG351V or RG353M), if you're using a dual (2) sd card setup, all bios files go into the bios folder located on the 2nd sd card.
- For those devices that support a dual (2) sd card setup (ex. RG351V or RG353M), all references to roms2 means the second sd card where you put your game files on.
- Any systems listed below that have a standalone emulator will most likely not have controls that can be reconfigured.
- Any systems below with multiple emulator cores available will have a default emulator core bolded and in parentheses(). Click here for information on how to change emulators per system or game.
- Required file extensions and rom versions are based on default emulator core requirements.
- Since much of this is similar to retropie, more information about these emulators can be found at the retropie wiki located at https://retropie.org.uk/docs/ under the Emulation section.
- For libretro based cores, you can check the available libretro documentation that most are directly linked to below or at https://docs.libretro.com/ for more information about various libretro cores.
- You can also check out Retro Game Corps at https://retrogamecorps.com/rg351/ for helpful guides on getting some of these systems and ports up and running as well.
Emulator: lr-opera
Rom Folder: 3do
Extensions: .iso .ISO .bin .BIN .chd .CHD .cue .CUE
Bios: panafz1.bin or panafz10.bin or panafz10-norsa.bin or panafz10e-anvil.bin or panafz10e-anvil-norsa.bin or panafz1j.bin or panafz1j-norsa.bin or goldstar.bin or sanyotry.bin or 3do_arcade_saot.bin See this link for more details: https://docs.libretro.com/library/opera/#bios
Emulator: lr-mess
Rom Folder: advision
Extensions: .zip .ZIP
Bios: advision.zip, containing two files, b225__ins8048-11kdp_n.u5 (MD5: 5729638bd856c475678467a353bd921c) and b8223__cop411l-kcn_n.u8 (MD5: fc5e71445e4947a9d00eedbc66b13a8f). This must be in the roms/advision folder. NOT THE BIOS FOLDER!
Notes: Because this uses the mess emulator, there's a little more work involved in getting the games to run in which the rom must be named exactly as shown in the bios/mame/hash/advision.xml file. For example, Defender rom must be named defender.zip. You'll also need a copy of this advision.xml file in /roms2/bios/mame/hash/advision.xml (or /roms/bios... if using a single SD card).
Emulator: hypseus-singe standalone
Rom Folder: alg
Extensions: .alg .ALG
Bios: None
Notes:
- Make sure your American Laser Games (Singe 1) games are Hypseus-Singe based. If they are Daphne-Singe based, you'll have to place them in a roms/alg/alg folder. Thanks to varkanoid for reporting this finding.
- Copy your American Laser Games (Singe 1) game folder into the roms/alg folder
- Make sure the game folder contains a framefile (usually gamename.txt file) and a .singe file
- Run the Scan for New games script to create a proper .alg dummy file for each of the game folders copied
- Restart emulationstation and launch your game form the menu.
- Some games like Ninja Hayate will take a while to launch. Sometimes 10 minutes or more as it creates it's cache. Once it's initial launch is complete, future launches are much quicker.
- Some Fan made singe games may run from this emulator as well.
Emulator: (Amiberry standalone) lr-puae lr-uae4arm
Rom Folder: amiga
Extensions: .adf .ADF .hdf .HDF .lha .LHA .zip .ZIP
Bios: kick33180.A500 and kick34005.A500 and kick40068.A1200 See this link for more details. https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/wiki/Kickstart-ROMs-(BIOS)

Emulator: (lr-crocods) lr-cap32
Rom Folder: amstradcpc
Extensions: .cpc .CPC .dsk .DSK .zip .ZIP .7z .7Z
Bios: None
Notes: crocods doesn't support loading from compressed .zip or .7z files as of 2/4/2022. .dsk files seem to be the easiest to load with crocods.
Emulator: lr-cap32
Rom Folder: gx4000
Extensions: .cpr .CPR .dsk .DSK .zip .ZIP
Bios: None
Emulator: (linapple standalone) lr-applewin applewin standalone
Rom Folder: apple2
Extensions: .dsk .DSK .sh .SH .do .DO .po .PO .apple2 .APPLE2 .zip .ZIP
Bios: None
Notes:
- For the default linapple standalone emulator as well as the applewin standalone emulator, you can create own mappings for each game. Just create a controls subfolder within the roms/apple2 (roms2/apple2 for 2 sd card setups) folder and create a text file named exactly similar to game name but with a .gptk extension. See https://raw.githubusercontent.com/christianhaitian/arkos/main/mvem%20pics/mvem.gptk for an example of how to setup the structure of this file. Unused gamepad keys should be commented out with " like the start key is in the example .gptk file linked in the previous sentence.
- To load games with 2 floppy disks, create a .apple2 text file within the roms/apple2 (roms2/apple2 for 2 sd card setups) folder and the disks similar to as follows as an example for a 2 disk game named PoP_1.dsk and PoP_2.dsk:
Create PoP.apple2 file in the apple2 folder then insert the following:
DISK1=PoP_1.dsk
DISK2=PoP_2.dsk
Then just launch the PoP.apple2 from the emulationstation system menu for Apple II.
HINT - You can change the extensions of your 2 disk games to something like .dsks and add that to your .apple2 text file. That way, they won't show up in the system menu and cause duplication. You could also just hide those games in the system menu as well via the menu when you press the select on the game and go to Edit Metadata.
Emulator: lr-minivmac

Extensions: .pex .PEX .pfi .PFI
Bios: Firmware 1.20 or Firmware 1.18 (Recommended) or Firmware 1.14a or Firmware 1.14 or Firmware 1.12a or Firmware 1.12
Note:
- The Aquaplus P/ECE requires a bios file that is freely available from their website as linked in the Bios line above. It’s strongly recommended that you use version 1.18, as there are many games that do a version check and only recognize 1.1x versions.
- Just place the downloaded firmware exe file in the bios folder of your roms card and ArkOS will extract the needed bios file from it when launching a game. You can also manually extract the all.bin file by downloading one of the firmware packages linked in the bios line above. These packages are released as a self-extracting lzh file, so you can either run the exe (if you’re on Windows), or you can use 7zip to open the file navigate to the folder called update, and extract the all.bin file. Add this file to the bios folder on your roms card.

Rom Folder: daphne
Extensions: .daphne .DAPHNE
Bios: None
Notes:
- Be aware that within the daphne folder is a roms folder. That is not an error. That folder is needed. Your laserdisc .zip files should contain a "rom name".daphne folder that must be copied to the root daphne folder. Make sure the "rom name".daphne folder contains a framefile ("rom name".txt) or it will not load. Your laserdisc .zip files must be loaded into the daphne/roms folder. If you're still having issues getting this to work, click here for a great guide and video from Retro Game Corps.
- If your games come with a .command file that specifies -x and -y sizes, the games may skew incorrectly on the display of your unit (for instance, it may look overscan if -x is 1920 and -y is 1080). Removing the x and y from the command file or simply renaming the .command file to .command.OFF should resolve that issue. Thanks to EnsignRutherford for the find on this.

Notes: This portable gaming system by Milton Bradley had only a few games. For the best experience, the game files should include the .bmp and _snap.bmp for each bin. To use the predefined control scheme, the game files must be named appropriately as follows:
Alien Raiders.bin
Baseball.bin
Block Buster.bin
Bomber (homebrew).bin
Bowling.bin
Connect Four.bin
Cosmic Hunter.bin
Mindbuster.bin
Phaser Strike.bin
Pinball.bin
Sea Duel.bin
Space Invaders (homebrew).bin
Super Blockbuster.bin
Vegas Slots.bin
- You can click on each of the game file names above to see what the predefined key maps are.
- If the game file names do not match any as shown above, the game will start with the default control setup as shown for the Mindbuster game here
- The left joystick serves as the analog knob control.
- If you'd like to create your own mappings for these games, just create a
controlssubfolder within the roms/mv (roms2/mv for 2 sd card setups) folder and create a text file named according to the game name above but instead of the .bin extension, give it the extension of .gptk. - The MVEM emulator expects the keyboard keys as shown in yellow corner highlights here for each corresponding button.
- See here on how the structure of the gptk text file should look.
- Unused gamepad keys should be commented out with
\"like the start key is in the example .gptk file linked in the previous sentence.

- For retroarch emulation, the bios region will need to be set to Japan or the games won't load. This can be done while loading a game by going to the retroarch menu, Options, Region, Japan.
- Thanks to bignella for testing and compiling a list of the performance of various Naomi games using the retrorun32/flycast32 rumble emulator/core combination. See here.
Emulator: (lr-fbneo) lr-fbalpha2012 lr-geolith (best on rk3566 devices. Slow on rk3326 devices.)
Required ROM Version: FBAlpha v0.2.97.44 (v0.2.97.40, v0.2.97.42 and v0.2.97.43 may work as well)
Rom Folder: neogeo
Extensions: .zip .ZIP .7z .7Z .7z .7Z (.neo .NEO See notes for more info for this extension)
Bios: neogeo.zip (and aes.zip for geolith core)
Notes:
- Because neogeo roms can come in different formats (split or non-merged), it's recommended to keep the neogeo.zip bios in the /roms/bios and the /roms/neogeo folder to ensure best compatibility.
- if your using a rk3566 device such as a rg353m/v or rk2023, for a highly accurate and generally easier way to run Neo Geo, try the geolith core and use .neo files. Only the geolith core supports .neo files and the geolith core only supports loading .neo files. For more information on how to change the core per game or for a whole system, see here
- Existing Neo Geo arcade sets can be converted to .neo using the NeoBuilder tool from stoneagegame available here. Be aware!! I have used the tool and it works but I do so in a controlled environment to minimize on the possibility of any malware. Use caution when running any .exe file from an unknown site.
Emulator: (lr-neocd) lr-fbneo

Note: More information available here
- If you choose to use the libretro fbneo core, be aware that you have to use either a Neo Geo CD romset that has .cue/.ccd/.img/.sub files or a single .bin and single .cue file.
- Doesn't seem chd files or m3u files will work with the libretro fbneo core.
- Also, the bios folder must contain proper neocdz.zip and neogeo.zip bios files.

Note: standalone(mupen64plus) will most likely have the best performance but is the least user friendly emulator as the keys are not easily reconfigurable. See the FAQ section for your respective supported device in this wiki and scroll down to the mupen64plus standalone emulator section for the default key configuration for the standalone emulator.
- It's been reported that a performance improvement can be achieved using the Mupenplus64_Next Retroarch core using the GlideN64 settings with the core options settings set to as the images shown in the links here and here. Thanks to Josep from the Anbernic Discord for sharing the findings.
- As of the 09/27/2024 update of ArkOS, it is now possible to add an alternative control scheme for the standalone Mupen64plus emulator including on
per game basis.
- In the n64 games folder, a controls subfolder will be created after the initial run of a game. Within that controls folder should be a Sample.ini file. This file contains the currently assigned default controls for mupen64plus. To change that default control setup, just copy Sample.ini to Default.ini within the controls subfolder and make your control changes there. To do it on a per game basis, copy Sample.ini to yourgamename.ini within the controls subfolder and make your changes there. If your game's file name is called Paper Mario.z64, the custom control file name will need to be Paper Mario.ini for the custom control to be picked up.

Bios: None
Notes:
-
Fake-08 is not affiliated with Lexaloffle, and is not 100% compatible, nor does it have SPLORE functionality, so using the official Pico-8 player from Lexaloffel is still highly encouraged for purchase for best performance, compatibility and to support the Lexaloffle Pico-8 platform.
- Add the contents of the latest version available of your purchased Pico-8 Raspberry Pi zip to /roms/pico-8 (or /roms2/pico-8 for 2 sd card setups) folder and add your .png and/or .p8 game files to /roms/pico-8/carts (or /roms2/pico-8/carts folder then start pico-8 from pico-8 emulationstation menu. If you're on ArkOS v2.0 (01/21/2022) or newer, remove the pico8_dyn file from the Raspberry Pi Pico-8 zip file you purchased so the 64bit version of Pico8 will be used. The 32bit (pico8_dyn) version causes no video to display with the newer Pico-8 Raspberry Pi zip files.
- If you'd like to access splore to download and update games online while in Pico-8, you can hold the B button after pressing A to launch a cart from the emulationstation menu to enter splore or create a blank text file named zzzsplore.p8 in /roms/pico-8/carts (or /roms2/pico-8/carts) and launch zzzsplore from the pico-8 system menu in emulationstation.
- By default, pico-8 games will load in a 1:1 aspect ratio. You can also load games in full screen and pixel perfect aspect ratios as well by changing the default emulator setting. See here for information on how to change the default emulator.
- You can exit pico-8 at any time by pressing the select and start buttons (RG351, RG353M/V/VS, RG503 and RK2020 devices) or 1 and Start buttons (Chi) or Minus and Start buttons (RGB10).

Rom Folder: solarus
Extensions: .solarus .SOLARUS .zip .ZIP

Notes: \
- Solarus doesn't natively support the ability to exit the emulator from a controller. For use in Arkos, a daemon is included that watches for the select and start buttons (RG351, RG353V/VS, RG503 and RK2020 devices) or 1 and Start button (Chi) or Minus and Start button (RGB10) to be pressed simultaneously and kills the solarus-run process so return back to Emulationstation. If you lose the ability to control the game and to force quit, just do a safe shutdown of the system using the appropriate global hotkey for your system. If all else fails, you can hit the reset button but limit the use of that when possible or data corruption can occur.
- To get Ocean's Heart running, you’ll need to remove references to shaders which requires OpenGL (which is not available on the rk3xxxx platform) and are not used widely in the game.you'll need to edit
scripts\menus\map_banner.luaand comment out (by adding—-at the start of a line) the linelocal swipe_fade = require"scripts/fx/swipe_fade"in the .solarus file provide. You'll also need to editlone_windmill.lua,pirate_fort.luaandwest_trail.luainmaps/fykonos/and commenting out the line that includessol.shader.create. This will stop the game from crashing. You can use 7zip to open and manipulate .solarus files.
Thanks to Romadu for the research in finding this fix.

Extensions: .bin .BIN .cas .CAS .ccc .CCC .dsk .DSK .rom .ROM .wav .WAV .zip .ZIP
Bios:
- For the default XRoar standalone emulator: coco3.rom, disk11.rom and extbas11.rom should be in the bios folder. For PAL games, coco3p.rom should be in the bios folder.
- For the libretro mess emulator: coco.zip coco2.zip coco2b.zip coco3.zip coco3p.zip (must be in the roms/coco3 folder. NOT THE BIOS FOLDER!)(See here for more info on the content of the bios files.
Notes:
- For the default XRoar standalone emulator, it's best to use .ccc, .dsk and .rom files or zip files that contain .ccc, .dsk or .rom files in them with this emulator.
- For the default XRoar standalone emulator, you can create own mappings for each game. Just create a controls subfolder within the roms/coco3 (roms2/coco3 for 2 sd card setups) folder and create a text file named exactly similar to game name but with a .gptk extension. See https://raw.githubusercontent.com/christianhaitian/arkos/main/mvem%20pics/mvem.gptk for an example of how to setup the structure of this file. Unused gamepad keys should be commented out with " like the start key is in the example .gptk file linked in the previous sentence. To enable keyboard mode for the emulator, insert #keyboard mode at the top of the file. To enable mouse mode, insert #mouse mode at the top of the file.
- If using the mess emulator, there's some work involved in getting the games to run in which the rom must be named exactly as shown in the bios/mame/hash/coco_cart.xml file or coco_flop.xml file. For example, Canyon Climber rom must be named cclimber.zip and must contain canyon climber (1982) (26-3089) (datasoft) [a1].rom in the zip file. If your file is canyon climber (1982) (26-3089) (datasoft) [a1].ccc, you can rename it to canyon climber (1982) (26-3089) (datasoft) [a1].rom
- For games that need keyboard entry, see here for a workaround.

- Copy your Wolfenstein 3D, Spear of Destiny, or Super Noah's Ark 3D dos folder into the wolf rom folder. Make sure you add them as their own subfolder within the wolf roms folder. Run the Scan_for_new_games.wolf script from within Emulationstation to create the proper shortcuts for your games.
- If while using the Retroarch ecwolf core you find you can't start Wolfenstein, make sure there's only one .exe in the Wolfenstein dos subfolder. Files like catalog.exe should be deleted from this subfolder.
- You can create text .ecwolf files to load mods. For example, to load the 37 1/2 Encounter mod, you can create a 37.5.ecwolf file in your roms/wolf or roms2/wolf folder and it should contain the following:
SUBDIR=Wolfenstein 3D
DATA=WL6
PK3_1=/roms/wolf/37_1_2_Encounter.pk3
PK3_2=/roms/wolf/macmus.pk3
