Teknoparrot?

What's the deal with Teknoparrot now days?

Does it still make anti viruses freak out? Is it safe? Is it worth the hassle?

I really wanna play the Initial D games in particular but wouldn't mind checking out some other things as well, I remember Teknoparrot being sketchy a few years back but I'm not sure how the community views it nowadays.

TeknoParrot works fine, but as with ALL emulation frontends, you need to set an exclusion in your anti virus/windows defender for the drive that your setup/emulators are on.

Otherwise you will find certain files being quarantined and emulators getting stuck in the background.

Weird, I have never had any AV issues with any other emulator

Maybe having 200 emulators is my issue :)

TeknoParrot and particularly Gamesloader will always have issues in my experience, but if you are saying you do not, then good for you.

If you only have a few systems, you may not have found any issues, but I literally have 40tb of setup, so have experienced the lot, and easiest solution is to set an exclusion for me.

40TB!? What the hell you got in that thing?

I thought I was running out of things to add at 8 or 9

You name it, I probably have it.

Example:

PS3 - 10TB

PS2 - 4TB

XBOX 360 - 10TB

Nintendo Switch - 2TB

MAME/Gamecube/PS1/PSP - 2TB

Nintendo Wii / Wii U - 3TB

XBOX One + PS4 (uses pc games) - 4TB

Saturn Europe /USA / Japan - 1.5TB

And on and on .....
