Arcade Port Developer Documentation
This guide provides comprehensive resources for game developers and arcade operators managing IDLE Press Arcade cabinets.
Game developers should refer to the Developer Guide for details on how to modify their games to work in an arcade environment. Developers may also want to refer to the OS Installation, Kiosks Setup, and Utilities documentation for more information how to setup a local testing environment.
The documentation covers:
Developer Guide: Essential information for creating arcade-ready games with operator menus, attract mode, coin-op functionality, and high score systems
Ubuntu Installation: Step-by-step instructions for setting up Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on a mini PC, what we use in our cabinets.
Kiosk Setup: Complete configuration for running games in a controlled arcade environment, including automatic boot, operator mode access, and maintenance procedures
Utilities: Tools for video calibration and input testing, including IPAC-2 control interface configuration
