As of this past week, it is with heavy heart that iiRcade has announced that they have to close their doors and shut down their servers. This article is not to discuss the internal reasons for the doors closing because that has already happed last week and can be seen on YouTube and through the conversations through Facebook. But the reason for this post is that this week, the servers for iiRcade will be shut down permanently as of Friday June 23, 2023.
If you have an iiRcade unit and have purchased any games for it in the past and want to preserve the games on the machine, you need to go online within the next few days to re-download the games to your machine. If you have already paid for them, you do not have to pay for them again. Also, if there are games you wish to purchase, you do have the opportunity to still purchase games,
In addition to that, it is highly recommended to check EVERY game that you currently own on your system to see if there are any updates to download. There may also be system updates to be made to your system as well.
In the meantime, take a look at the pre-order project that is currently available to preserve the usage of the iiRcade after the servers are permanently shut down at https://thunderstickstudio.com/products/the-grs-ultimate-control-panel-for-iircade?fbclid=IwAR1iMoZtnsDioHFiEEZ5WSlqL-Xhxu44IlIHtPuHJ_OatSZeTtLQ8m-N2xs
