The Micro Arcade systems are a series of handheld game systems modelled after the Arduboy which play miniaturized ports of arcade games. The Tiny Arcade systems are the same games but in a very tiny arcade cabinet.
Games checked via coding include:
- Pac-Man (Micro Arcade)
- Space Invaders (Tiny Arcade)
Games checked on the machines themselves, but not through the actual code, include:
- Pac-Man (Tiny Arcade)
- Ms. Pac-Man (Tiny Arcade)
- Galaga (Tiny Arcade)
- Galaxian (Tiny Arcade)
Test Mode (Tiny Arcade)#
For the Tiny Arcade units, four jumper pads are used to determine which game plays. If none of the jumper pads are shorted, the game will enter a test mode which has a controller test and displays the ROM checksum. Additionally, holding a direction on the joystick while powering on the unit will allow you to play any of the four games contained in the unit.

Hidden Sound Metadata#
All sounds and music are stored as .wav files. Some of these .wav files contain hidden metadata which can be seen when extracted from the ROM.
