Namco System 246/256

The Namco System 246/256 is an arcade developed by Sony / Namco. It was released in 2000.

This system scrapes metadata for the “namco, sega, arcade” group(s) and loads the namco2x6 set from the currently selected theme, if available.

Quick reference

  • Emulator: play
  • Folder: /userdata/roms/namco2x6
  • Accepted ROM formats: .zip

BIOS

No Namco System 246/256 emulator in Batocera needs a BIOS file to run.

ROMs

Place your Namco System 246/256 ROMs in /userdata/roms/namco2x6.

The Play! emulator provides `work in progress` support for Namco 246 & 256 systems.

Currently you will need a high performance system to be able to emulate supported games.

We recommend using the OpenGL API for now.

This rom directory should include a zip file based on the arcade id and a supporting folder with associated .chd file.

i.e. Tekken 4 -
