Lakka is a lightweight Linux distribution that transforms a small computer into a full blown retrogaming console. Built on top of the famous RetroArch emulator, Lakka is able to emulate a wide variety of systems and has some useful features such as automatic joypad recognition, rewinding, netplay, and shaders. Lakka is easy to setup and use. Once installed on your SD card or USB flash drive, you just have to copy your ROMs on the device, power up the rig and plug your joypad and enjoy your favorite games. We try our best to keep the hardware required to run Lakka as cheap as possible. The software is optimized to run fast even on low end computers, and we support a lot of USB joypads. Lakka is a community-driven project. Coders, designers and gamers, from all around the world, are working together to make it the Ultimate Emulation OS. Come and join us!

The following is a “Cup-Diskette” which would’ve been used to record player scores during the Super Mario Swiss Cup tournament held by Nintendo in Switzerland, 1993! Participants would try to qualify for the final round by attempting to gather as many points as possible in either Super Mario Bros 3 for the NES, or Looney Tunes Road Runner for the SNES within a seven-minute timeframe. One of these diskettes would’ve been able to be purchased on-site for CHF 5.00, and would’ve given the player a total of five attempts to get a good score.
The disk itself holds two files: GAME_1.DAT and GAME_2.DAT, both with a filedate of the May 28th, 1993. It’s currently unknown how to extract the data from these files, so if you happen to figure it out let us know! We’d be super interested to learn exactly how much information they contain.

You can supply a seed to the randomizer or let it pick its own. Then download the ROM, load it into an emulator, and see how you do.
