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.
