Turn your original arcade cabinet into a plug-and-play PC machine. No crazy setup, no rewiring.
ArcadeIOEmulator is the easiest way to replace an original arcade PC with a modern equivalent, or just unlock your existing hardware, enabling it to play any PC, emulator or retro game.
Acting like an all-in-one Windows driver, all controls will be available on your Windows PC as a new game controller that can be used with any emulator or game. Force feedback is also supported, along with output lamps which use any kind of program such as Teknoparrot, outputblaster, ffbblaster, supermodel, mame etc.
