WinKawaks

WinKawaks is an emulator for arcade machines with NeoGeo, CP System, and CP System II boards. This means you can enjoy some of the most popular video games from the mid and late-90s arcades, including titles from epic franchises such as Street Fighter, Mega Man, Darkstalkers, and Dungeons and Dragons.

Unzip and play

Setting up WinKawaks is very easy. You don't need to download BIOS or anything like that to be able to run video games from the emulator. All you need to do is unzip the compressed file and double-click on the executable. And that's it. The program will identify the optimal graphic configuration depending on the computer you are running it on. Of course, if you are unsatisfied with any of these automatic settings, you can manually adjust them from the Visual Options menu.

A huge catalog of ROMs

As is common in almost all emulators, WinKawaks has no ROMs. To play any of the many NeoGeo, CP System, and CP System II compatible video games, you will need to download them first. Fortunately, on the developer's website, you will find instructions on quickly downloading all the ROMs you need. However, all ROMs must be located in their corresponding folder —in the emulator's directory— and have the correct name. If you are not on top of these details, they will likely not work.

A host of options to enjoy as you like

You can find shortcuts to all emulator options in the upper bar of WinKawaks. From here, you can configure many different options to make the games look how you want them to look. You can alter the aspect ratio, change the image filter, adjust the color range, activate turbo mode, and much more. Similarly, you will have many different options for configuring the program's audio. You will even find specific options for emulating various boards.

Download WinKawaks and enjoy some of the best video games from the golden age of arcades. The emulator is also incredibly lightweight and has everything you need to run more than a hundred ROMs without any problems. In short, this is a real gift for fans of classic arcade games, which can be run on virtually any PC.
