### Console Arcade Systems
The _consolearcade_ system is intended for the various arcade boards that were based on home console platforms. For many of the older systems MAME can be used for emulation, but some of the more modern systems require the use of other emulators, which is precisely what is provided by this system.
The following arcade boards have been considered:
| Arcade board | Console | Emulator |
| :---------------------------------- | :-------------------------- | :------------------------ |
| Atari CoJag | Atari Jaguar | MAME |
| Capcom Sony ZN-1/ZN-2 | Sony PlayStation | MAME |
| Konami M2 | 3DO Interactive Multiplayer | MAME |
| Konami System 573/GQ/GV/Twinkle | Sony PlayStation | MAME |
| Namco System 10/11/12 | Sony PlayStation | MAME |
| Namco System 147/246/256 | Sony PlayStation 2 | Play! |
| Namco System 357/359/369 | Sony Playstation 3 | RPCS3 |
| Namco-Sega-Nintendo Triforce | Nintendo GameCube | Triforce (Dolphin) |
| Nintendo VS. System/PlayChoice-10 | Nintendo Famicom/NES | MAME |
| Sammy Corporation Atomiswave | Sega Dreamcast | Flycast |
| Sega Chihiro | Microsoft Xbox | xemu, Cxbx-Reloaded, MAME |
| Sega Naomi/Naomi 2/SP | Sega Dreamcast | Flycast |
| Sega Mega Play/Mega-Tech/C-2 | Sega Mega Drive/Genesis | MAME |
| Sega Shooting Zone/System E | Sega Master System | MAME |
| Sega Titan Video Game System (ST-V) | Sega Saturn | Kronos, Mednafen, MAME |
| SETA Aleck 64 | Nintendo 64 | MAME |
| Taito FX-1A/FX-1B | Sony PlayStation | MAME |
Note that not all emulators are supported on all operating systems that ES-DE runs on, see the [Supported game systems](USERGUIDE-DEV.md#supported-game-systems) section for more details.

When it comes to practically organizing these games it's recommended to use a folder structure, especially since it's necessary to assign per-game alternative emulators via the metadata editor. So a setup could look something like the following:
```
~/ROMs/consolearcade/Capcom Sony ZN-1/
~/ROMs/consolearcade/Capcom Sony ZN-2/
~/ROMs/consolearcade/Namco System 246/
~/ROMs/consolearcade/Sega Chihiro/
~/ROMs/consolearcade/Sega ST-V/
~/ROMs/consolearcade/Taito FX-1B/
```
How to configure each emulator is far beyond the scope of this document, but there are many resources available on the Internet on how to accomplish this.
### DOS / PC
For this platform there are two basic approaches for how the setup could be done; either to present each game as a single entry inside ES-DE, or to retain each game's directory structure. The first alternative is more user-friendly, tidy and requires less setup but basically restricts the emulator selection to the DOSBox-Pure RetroArch core. There is an alternative way to setup single entries to work with all DOSBox forks, but it has some drawbacks as discussed below.
