Batocera | Teknoparrot

Batocera is a lightweight, Linux-based operating system designed to turn any computer into a retro gaming console. It is famous for its simplicity, controller-friendly interface, and support for hundreds of emulators. TeknoParrot, on the other hand, is a Windows-based loader for modern arcade games that run on PC-based hardware (e.g., Sega RingEdge/RingWide, Taito Type X/X2/X3, Raw Thrills).
