TeknoParrot is a software package allowing you to run selected PC-based arcade titles on your own hardware, with full support for keyboard and mouse controls, gamepads, steering wheels, and joysticks.

Download TeknoParrot from the TeknoParrot website

Because TP is such a wide-reaching emulator that covers various games and systems, it is at this time not a one-stop setup for every game,

Because of this, each game will have to be covered separately, as each has unique issues. However, many aspects of the basic setup will be the same.

Fullscreen Problems

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT FULLSCREEN RESOLUTION

TP developer Harm has traced the issue of the screen res problems on some games (Golden Gun, Transformers, Star Trek, HOTD4) to the monitor frequency. So if you have a 144Hz monitor, it will not run full screen. If you can reduce the Hz to 60 or play on another monitor, it will load full screen!

Games

Rambo:

House of the Dead 4: (Note DemulShooter & Mouse fix is no longer required due to TP Update)

Download Power ISO from the PowerISO website

2 Spicy:

Luigi's Mansion:

Border Issue Fix

If you are having trouble getting the border to overlay with this game, you can follow this guide by Cor094:

Here's how you can use Reshade in Luigi's Mansion using a DLL injector.

One common DLL injector, ENB injector, doesn't seem to work with 64-bit programs like LM.

So, the DLL injector I used was Xenos injector, available at the Unknown Cheats forum but requires free registration to download.

Also, due to the nature of injecting DLL files, your antivirus will freak out, and you'll have to add it as an exclusion.

Actually, Google chrome wouldn't even let me download it; I had to use Edge. That's the main reason I hadn't posted a guide yet; I was hoping to find one that was easier to download.

First, install Reshade as you normally would to vacuum.exe in your LM directory. Install as D3D 10/11/12.

Then, extract Xenos injector from its 7z file and launch it. There's a regular exe and a 64-bit one; they both worked for me.

Under the process selection in Xenos, select manual launch. Then select your vacuum.exe file.

Then, under images, click add and select the dxgi.dll file Reshade installed (should be in the same folder as vacuum.exe).

Then select inject. It will then tell you to launch your game.

Launch LM, and it should work. This has to be done each time, but it can be automated.

When you close Xenos after using it, it automatically creates a profile file with your most recent settings in the same folder as your Xenos exe. You could have AHK or LaunchBox run this profile before launching the game.

When Xenos is launched from a profile, it automatically closes once LM is launched and injected, so you shouldn't need to add anything in your AHK to kill the Xenos process.

Also, people use Xenos to cheat in games, so make sure you don't have it open for whatever reason before launching an online stream game or anything, you might think you're trying to cheat.
