Arcade conversion to Linux progress: I had my entire setup on an external hard drive and kept everything for the arcade on it, made it fully portable so I could mount as any drive letter. I copied the data off, formatted ext4 and copied everything back on.
Started updating the Attract Mode paths for thumbnails and movies to match the new ext4 file system setup. Hit the button accidentally to start a game and it.... unexpectedly booted up? Turns out the paths still match and even though I never installed wine, Windows Retroarch was running Doom 32x. I was... quite confused that this functioned at all.
That's fine for now, but I intend on moving everything possible to local native Linux versions of the emulators I use except in cases where I cannot like TeknoParrot. So far, so good. Just gotta be very careful about case-sensitivity on ext4.
A lot more work to do including some theme filename updates to fix some missing images.
