Arcade kart game

[Dgo]

So I've discovered there's Mario Kart Arcade GP and Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 for arcade and was wondering whether those are supported by RA.
In case they are, which core would be the right one? Excited to even know there's official Mario Kart outside N consoles.

The Mario Kart Arcade GP games run on the Triforce arcade system, which is based off of Gamecube hardware. Quite a few years back, the Dolphin emulator was working on supporting those games and had them booting up, however it was left behind and later removed from the stable branch of Dolphin.

Obviously the Retroarch core for Dolphin wont have Triforce support, but there is an archived copy of the last Dolphin branch that does on Github. I haven't looked too much into it besides a simple google search, though I did see some Youtube videos showing that the Mario Kart GP games work at least.

Oh yes, I've been doing some research and also found something about teknoparrot or something?
So it seems it can be used by both systems, right?
I don't understand how something that was meant for arcade finished being able to been emulated by dolphin.
Otoh I have MK8DX you know for last system not available on RA sadly. Is MKAGPDX better or inferior to the first one? Or similar? Bc in videos both look awesome to me!

Same reason Dreamcast emulators can also run NAOMI games, and Saturn emulators can run ST-V games, etc.
