Every cited block was read again at HEAD: no ref left to review, no file name or hash literal added to a cited file since the pin (--detect-new-files --watch-hashes), refs recaled with their pins. Profiles built by a platform at a fixed commit, or whose bump would leave prose under an older pin, stay where they were.

Launcher and emulator suite for arcade boards. TeknoParrotUI is open source
|
|
and read here at its pinned commit. It runs a game through one of the
|
|
components its updater installs from the releases of teknogods/TeknoParrot,
|
|
every one of them closed source: the TeknoParrot and ElfLdr2 loaders for
|
|
PC-based and Lindbergh boards, forks of Dolphin (Triforce), Play! and PCSX2x6
|
|
(Namco System 246/256), RPCS3 (Namco System 357/369) and Cxbx-Reloaded
|
|
(Chihiro), and a family of board emulators named Tekno* (TeknoNaomi,
|
|
TeknoMVS, TeknoCPS, TeknoModel2 and others).
|
|
ref: TeknoParrotUi/MainWindow.xaml.cs:509-669,
|
|
TeknoParrotUi.Common/EmulatorType.cs:9-67
|
|
|
|
RetroBat starts TeknoParrotUi.exe and picks the component by the core name:
|
|
triforce, pcsx2x6, play, namco2x6, namco3xx, chihiro, or none for the
|
|
loaders. For Triforce, System 2x6 and Chihiro the game image itself is
|
|
written as the profile's game path.

The components read here are the release assets of 2026-10: TeknoNaomi
|
|
0.1.0.5, pcsx2x6 1.0.0.11, RPCS3 1.0.0.7, cxbxr 1.0.0.20, CrediarDolphin
|
|
1.0.0.10, Play 1.0.0.34 and TeknoParrotElfLdr2Core 1.0.0.1472. TeknoNaomi,
|
|
TeknoMVS, TeknoModel2 and TeknoS11 are protected with VMProtect
|
|
(release-manifest.json "protected": true) and expose no ROM name, size or
|
|
hash to a static read. The TeknoParrot and ElfLdr2 loaders name no
|
|
firmware either.
|
|
|
|
TeknoNaomi takes --set, --rom-root (the folder of the selected game ZIP) and
|
|
--chd-root. Its catalog, exported into TeknoParrotUI, gives each of the 349
|
|
sets the ordered list of romsets it opens under the ROM root: the set, its
|
|
parent, then a BIOS set. Nine BIOS sets close those lists. Their members and
|
|
hashes live only inside the protected binary.

TeknoParrotUi.Common/TeknoNaomiLaunch.cs:90-98
|
|
|
|
The pcsx2x6 component is ReaverTeknoGods/pcsx2x6 at
|
|
c6e731ac0b9859011d358c021b7e2c9c95296a93 (the build reports
|
|
v0.0.22-24-gc6e731ac0), a fork of PS2Homebrew-arcade/pcsx2x6 whose merge
|
|
base with it is 956d4c66b0ac2eaefe7591a763f7b3cc80d1eae1. The release ships
|
|
portable.txt, and an empty portable.txt puts the data root in a TeknoParrot
|
|
folder beside the executable, so the BIOS folder is pcsx2x6/TeknoParrot/bios.
|
|
ref: pcsx2x6 pcsx2/Pcsx2Config.cpp:2196-2202, pcsx2x6 pcsx2/Pcsx2Config.cpp:2311
|
|
|
|
Play! runs System 246/256 games from its arcadedefs (dongle, CD or HDD image)
|
|
with HLE and loads no BIOS. CrediarDolphin ships Sys/Triforce/segaboot.gcm,
|
|
which it opens for the test menus, and the free DSP ROMs in Sys/GC. The
|
|
RPCS3 fork refuses to boot without installed PS3 firmware ("PS3 firmware is
|
|
not installed or the installed firmware is invalid."). The cxbxr fork keeps
|
|
the Chihiro media board files of Cxbx-Reloaded under EmuMediaBoard.
|
|
|
|
Not documented: the BIOS sets of TeknoMVS, TeknoCPS, TeknoSS32 and the other
|
|
Tekno* board emulators. TeknoParrotUI names only the game ZIP for them
|
|
(ExecutableName in GameProfiles) and the binaries are protected.
