Interface Take control on how the frontend will look, work and feel... Customize the RetroFE visuals of the menu interface. You can also tweak almost everything that you see on screen. Such as adding and removing menu elements, changing themes and system components. Or changing, intro, animations, artworks and much more. This will not totally affect Theme Extensions. Sound Options  Various tweaks on audio settings. Disable or enable audio backgrounds or sound effects on the main build or specific add-on settings. Theme Extension - Now you can have the freedom to apply different theme styles for every game system. Manage your add-ons individually, having variation in styles. Most of the systems will have 3-4 default themes to choose from, Blur Mode, Hyper spin Mode and the Revenge Mode. But some systems will have more. So, feel free to experiment. Tekno Fixes  Because of the complexity of teknoparrot games we added little things to help you on setting game files for this emulator. These are additional settings, workarounds or patches for the TeknoParrot emulator, like controller and directory configurations and much more. We will be adding more game fixes and work arounds in the future. So, stay updated. DEMUL Fixes  Additional fixes for the Demul Emulator for the Atomiswave, Naomi and Naomi 2 systems.

Now you have the options to disable or enable mature contents for both systems and MAME games playlist. You can also choose between different rating settings that suit your usage. Systems Menu Control Now you have the freedom to disable and enable any systems on the current list for project arcade. Remove those empty or unfinished systems temporarily and enable them later to have a cleaner build. Creating your own list is now easier than ever. We will improve this feature better as we go along. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Special Reminder: You can use add-ons from Project Arcade 2.9 and 3.0 or previous builds just following some guidelines. Emulator already in the emulators folder. Example: D:\ProJectArcadeBitsBits MAME, Retroarch, Demul, Amstrad GX4000, SuperModel, and TeknoParrot So, when transferring add-ons don't forget its respective emulator if it's not existing on this folder. The important files you need to copy, or move are the roms folder and the medium_artwork folder initially. You can include the playlist folder because there are theme extensions that utilizes the playlist folder like for example the jaguar and Sega Saturn. But be careful not to overwrite existing playlist if there are already. Don't worry you will see the significance of the playlist if you see it. It will always be more than two files if ever. And please check also the settings.conf and its content if its compatible. you can open it on notepad to see the difference. Also, double check the meta hyper list files if its compatible. Just copy these files to its respective folders with caution and your good. Do not overwrite any files within the layouts folder by the way. You may use any media files that you want in the Main folder as long its relevant. EX: D:\ProJectArcadeBitsBits\collections\Main\medium_artwork folder Like videos, logo, fanarts etc... Always double check. We will be making a video tutorial regarding this in due time...

Also, some retro computers and retro consoles are also available. Expect empty systems upon boot. Empty systems will bring you back on the main menu when you hit enter. You can disable or enable systems by going to the settings menu Systems Control Settings. All available addons for Project Arcade AZZA are available or can be downloaded at the patreon page. You must manually install addons following instructions the came with the post. INSTALL NOTE UPDATE 1-3: Move or delete or backup the AMALGAM and layouts folder first. You have an option to skip UPDATE1. Install UPDATE2 then install over UPDATE3 overwriting files. System Menu Control NOTE: For previous and existing user of Project Arcade AZZA. If you already disable or enabled some systems on the existing list after UPDATE2 you have to move or delete or make a backup first before you remove the following folders as an example before you apply UPDATE3, or else System Menu Control will not work correctly next time you make changes. E:\ProJectArcadeBitsBits\collections\Main\menu E:\ProJectArcadeBitsBits\collections\Systems Menu Control In case you already added new systems not found on PA AZZA menu list, making a backup of the said folders will help you recover them later. We apologize for this. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
