Arcade virtual systems group arcade games by manufacturer, and sometimes by board (Capcom CPS2, SEGA System 16…). They only exist if the arcade collection is enabled in MAIN MENU > SYSTEM-LISTS & GAMELISTS SETTINGS, ARCADE SYSTEMS section (ENABLE AGGREGATED ARCADE SYSTEM), then in MANUFACTURER VIRTUAL SYSTEMS.
Inside a theme, these systems behave like any other: a folder named as below, containing a theme.xml. They all match the arcade & virtual condition.
