AI-Powered Arcade Companion

Enable a local 2P smart partner right in your browser

For select arcade games, you can now enable a local AI companion directly in your browser. It joins the game as a 2P teammate or practice opponent, acting according to game-specific strategies. No login or extra downloads required.

Games with AI Companion Support

The following games have been configured with custom AI strategies. Once you've started the game and entered as 1P, simply press the '2' key on your keyboard to activate the 2P AI.

Beat-'em-up Teammate

AI Companion is not online multiplayer: It's a local 2P partner

The AI companion runs directly within your browser's emulator session. It does not replace your 1P input, nor does it connect to human-player rooms. Once activated, the AI only injects inputs into the 2P channel, making it ideal for solo co-op, practice, or experiencing two-player gameplay.

Runs Locally

AI logic executes within the browser game session; no account creation or matchmaking required.

Fixed 2P Role

You always control P1; the AI joins as P2, ensuring it never interferes with your controls.

Game-Specific Adaptation

Since arcade games vary in mechanics and pacing, the activation option only appears for games with pre-configured strategies.

Three Steps to Start AI Companion

This feature is only available for games with the AI companion prompt. Start as 1P first, then use the shortcut to avoid accidental activation on title screens or character selection menus.

Launch Game

Enter a game that supports AI companion, and complete the 1P coin-in, start, or character selection.

Press Number 2

Press the '2' key on your keyboard during gameplay, and the AI will attempt to join automatically as 2P.

Keep Playing

You remain in control of 1P; the AI will act according to the game's specific strategy.

Different games, different companion styles

Arcade games differ significantly in characters, controls, and level design. We don't use a one-size-fits-all bot; instead, we configure tailored 2P behaviors for each game.

Synchronized Companion

Ideal for run-and-gun games: The AI can mirror or follow P1's basic actions, allowing a second player to join the action instantly.

Co-op Support

Best for beat-'em-ups: The AI focuses on following, maintaining distance, short bursts of attacks, and joining in to save the run.

Rule-based Combat

Best for fighting games: The AI executes approaches, defenses, and basic attacks based on distance, health, and round status.

Know these limitations before use

Not supported by all games

Only games that display the AI companion prompt and have independent configurations can be activated.

Experimental feature

AI behavior is designed for companionship and practice; it does not promise professional-level skill or optimal decision-making in every scenario.

Does not control P1

The AI only uses the 2P input channel; turning off the AI releases any 2P inputs it was holding.

Not online multiplayer

AI companion does not provide cross-device human synchronization. For true two-player local play, you can use local 2P key bindings or controllers.

FAQ

What is the AI companion?

It is a local 2P bot running within your browser's emulator session. It assists with co-op, mirrors actions, or acts as a practice opponent based on game-specific rules, without ever taking over your 1P controls.

How do I enable the AI companion?

After launching a supported game, start as 1P, then press the 2 key on your keyboard while in the game. The AI will attempt to insert a coin, start, and join as 2P.

Do all arcade games support AI?

No. AI strategies must be individually adapted for each ROM, core, control scheme, and playstyle. Only games listed on this page with the AI companion prompt are supported.

Will the AI affect my 1P controls?

No. The AI only sends inputs to the 2P channel; your 1P movement, action buttons, and game pacing remain entirely under your control. Once the AI is turned off, its automatic inputs stop immediately.
