TeknoParrot Manager

v0.64 BETA — PowerShell 5.1 script for managing a TeknoParrot arcade game library on Windows.

Registers your extracted games with TeknoParrot, copies controls between games of the same type, and keeps your library organised. Profiles are backed up automatically before every run.

Beta: Test one game after each run before trusting the rest.

What it does

Feature Description
Auto-registration Scans your games, matches each to the correct TeknoParrot profile, sets the game path
Fuzzy matching Auto-registers NESiCAxLive and other shared-executable platforms by folder-name similarity
Dat integration Uses the Eggman/RomVault dat to resolve shared-exe games, ELF games, and misnamed folders
AutoSync extraction Extracts ZIP files from a NAS or local source into a staging folder, skipping unchanged games
Control propagation Bind one game per control type; the script copies those bindings to every other game of the same type
Crosshair setup Deploys custom P1/P2 cursor images to all registered lightgun games
ReShade Installs ReShade post-processing into game folders (sharpening, CRT scanlines, colour)
dgVoodoo2 Fixes older games that use DirectX 8, DirectDraw, or Glide
GPU fix Applies the correct AMD/NVIDIA/Intel fix flag to every registered game that supports one
Frontend export Exports to LaunchBox XML or HyperSpin 2 game list
Thumbnail download Fetches missing game icons from TeknoParrotUIThumbnails
Unattended mode -Unattended switch for Windows Task Scheduler overnight runs
