Adding TeknoParrot emulator to Retrobat

To add Teknoparrot games, you must first download the Teknoparrot "emulator" from its official website (and not elsewhere): https://teknoparrot.com/

Then, unzip the file you just downloaded in \emulators\teknoparrot:

Your antivirus will surely panic, keep cool, these are false positives, so make sure that your antivirus authorizes the detected files.

Launch the TeknoParrotUi.exe for the first time, it will most certainly ask for several updates: do them, all.

Place your Teknoparrot games in \roms\teknoparrot

The folders name of your Teknoparrot games must be renamed to .teknoparrot .parrot or .game

For example, the game folder of Mario Kart: Arcade GP DX must be renamed:

• MKDX.teknoparrot,

• or MKDX.parrot

• or MKDX.game

Important detail, the folders name must correspond to the name of the json file for the game in the Teknoparrot "Metadata" folder located in \emulators\teknoparrot\Metadata

You can also use the .xml game profile file name in the \emulators\teknoparrot\GameProfiles folder.
