bARCADE is an arcade machine launcher created with pygame and python, designed for general use. It allows launching games on arcade machines with ease.
At its core, bARCADE is a basic menu that allows users to launch various arcade programs. Additionally, there is a built-in diagnostic program where users can test different buttons to ensure they are working properly.
However, those looking for a quick and easy way to set up an arcade machine may need to look elsewhere. bARCADE is not yet ready for this purpose, and some technical knowledge is required to get it up and running. Nevertheless, if you are willing to invest a little bit of time and effort, bARCADE is perfect for you.
Although the code is currently unstructured and configuration is hardcoded, the developer promises to update future versions with improved features and a complete code cleanup.
If you have any ideas, comments, or corrections, please reach out to the developer. Additionally, developers must have Python and PyGame to run bARCADE.
In the latest release, the diagnostic program has been removed, and all configuration is now in XML files. bARCADE is now ready for general use, making it a reliable option for anyone looking to create an arcade machine experience.
