HFS Summer 2026 was the stage for the official launch of the Recalbox JVS — along with the announcement of its Kickstarter campaign, broadcast live on the Recalbox Twitch channel. If you missed the stream, the replay is now available.

Recalbox JVS in a Nutshell

The Recalbox JVS is a Raspberry Pi 5 HAT designed to bring JVS arcade cabinets back to life — the dominant arcade standard since the late 1990s. Vewlix, NoirCab, Naomi Universal Cabinet (NUC), Lindbergh guncabs, race cabs: connect five cables, make a few clicks on the CRT screen, and the entire Recalbox library becomes available directly from your cabinet. Plug in, power on, play.

Thank YouThe Kickstarter campaign has already surpassed €40,000, doubling its initial €20,000 goal. The target has been exceeded by 200%, and there's still time left. This achievement is yours — every pledge matters and directly contributes to making Recalbox JVS a reality under the best possible conditions.

If you haven't taken the plunge yet (and you've managed to convince your significant other that "yes, an arcade cabinet really does fit in the living room"), there's still time to join the adventure and become one of the people who helped make this project possible.
