VONs Modern Arcade – PC Cab RetroBat Build from the year 2000 to today

Von is here with an exciting new Modern Retrobat Arcade Build, designed for those who want the best of post-2000 gaming on their arcade setups. Perfect for arcade stick enthusiasts, this build includes a curated selection of games from systems like Windows, Nintendo Switch, Teknoparrot, PS3, Xbox 360, and even a handful of upscaled PS2 and Xbox titles. This pack is a standalone gem for your modern PC based arcade cabinet.

Featuring:

• No Pre-2000 Games: This collection is strictly modern, focusing on games that feel right at home with arcade sticks.
• Modern Consoles: Includes games from PS3, Xbox 360, and Switch, all set to deliver a smooth arcade experience.
• Arcade Sticks Focus: Designed for arcade sticks, this build does not include light gun games. However, a modern light gun add-on pack is on the horizon.

Curated Collection:

Von’s collections are curated “best of” packs, not all-encompassing libraries. The aim is to save you time browsing for games so you can get straight to playing.

System Requirements:

To get the most out of this build, your PC needs to seamlessly emulate PS3 and Xbox 360 generation games. You’ll also need about 750GB of free space, which leaves room on a 1TB drive with Windows 11 and a little headroom left over.

• Space Requirements: Roughly 750GB.
• Drive Compatibility: Fits comfortably on a 1TB drive with Windows 11.

Installation Details:

Installation is hassle-free – simply extract the files to your desired location. This is a fully portable collection, but make sure there are no spaces in folder names above the retrobat directory, as it may affect Xbox emulation. All necessary Windows tools (like DirectX and OpenAL) can be found in the _tools folder.

Troubleshooting:

• PS3 Emulation: If PS3 games crash without an error message, try switching the video driver from Vulkan to OpenGL in Retrobat’s settings.
• Add Your Own Titles: If you’ve got newer arcade titles like Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, or Mortal Kombat One, feel free to add them in manually. While they’re too large to include in the pack, Von has included games up to Street Fighter 5, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, and Soul Calibur 6.

Final Thoughts:

This build is a must-have for modern arcade fans looking for a curated selection that runs smoothly with arcade sticks. Keep an eye out for the v3 Arcade build, which will integrate perfectly with this one, giving you a complete arcade gaming experience.
