===Digital Distribution Platforms===
There are arcade video game network systems from several companies that allow arcade vendors the ability to download a game into their cabinet, as opposed to just replacing the whole cabinet when they want a new game. TeknoParrot supports many games from these the following digital distribution platforms:
<!-- ALL.Net itself is like Xbox Live Multiplayer for arcade, not for content distribution (besides game program updates, consider it as Xbox system update). ALL.Net P-ras MULTI is. Teknoparrot doesn't emulate ALL.Net online features.-->*[https://enapm.wikipediasega.org/wikijp/ALL.Net ALL.NetP-ras MULTI] ([https://segaretro.org/ALL.Net Sega's network]. Sega's digital distribution system for arcade games in Japan, utilizing the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALL.Net ALL.Net] online service. Games mainly from Sega and Bandai Namco, some times third parties. Emulated since [https://www.patreon.com/posts/teknoparrot-1-dx-20038056 1.60a].)
*[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NESiCAxLive NESiCAxLive] (Taito's network. Games from SNK, Cave, and Arc System Works. Emulated since [https://www.patreon.com/posts/teknoparrot-1-dx-20038056 1.60a].)
Since version 1.66 of TeknoParrot was released publicly on [https://www.patreon.com/posts/teknoparrot-1-66-21295857?utm_medium=post_notification_email&utm_source=post_link&utm_campaign=patron_engagement early September 2018], the Teknogods team released a partially open-source version of the emulator to allow more people to contribute to it. These two open-source software, that were launched, are called "[https://github.com/teknogods/OpenParrot OpenParrot]" and "[https://github.com/teknogods/TeknoParrotUI TeknoParrotUI]" (GUI for Windows that works with both TeknoParrot and OpenParrot).
TeknoParrot has been changed to rolling update now. New features would be pushed to the built-in updater when it's available, and TeknoParrot website only hosts a certain version and an online installer called TPBootStrapper. Users could either use TPBootStrapper to download and install the lastest version, or download a legacy version and then upgrade to the latest one via the built-in updater.
==Connectivity==
Multi-JVS support that enable up to 4 connected players to play a game together through TeknoParrot was first added for the game ''Virtua Tennis 4'' in [https://www.patreon.com/posts/teknoparrot-1-19124288 version 1.52c] (May 30, 2018).
However, TeknoParrot lacks emulation for official cloud saving/multiplayer features presented in games such as All.Net (SEGA), NESYS (Taito), eAmusement (Konami), etc, which would cause some games to be unable to save progress (at least in an orthodox way), unlock features/contents, and/or joining Internet multiplayer games.
