+## Plan: Implement Arcade Lobby Feature
+
+Create arcadeLobbySetup() function in NetplayMenu.js to display a Host/Join popup, integrate SFU server for arcade lobby routers handling multi-stream video/audio transport, and build a CSS grid UI for pinning up to 4 video streams with dynamic layouts (1x2 for 2, 2x2 for 3-4). This enables multi-user arcade sessions where hosts stream emulators and spectators pin views, leveraging existing netplay infrastructure for scalability and input sync.
+
+### Steps
+1. Add `arcadeLobbySetup()` in [NetplayMenu.js](data/src/netplay/ui/NetplayMenu.js) to create popup with Host/Join buttons, calling room creation/join logic.
+2. Extend SFU [index.js](romm-sfu-server/index.js) to support "arcade" room type, creating lobby routers and piping host streams to all users.
+3. Modify NetplayEngine.js to handle hidden emulator for hosts/spectators, capturing video/audio for transport.
+4. Implement CSS grid in emulator.min.css for 80% main canvas and 20% scrollable previews, with pinning logic in NetplayMenu.js.
+5. Create new menu roomtypes arcadelobby, and arcadelivestream, with arcadelivestream having a menu and bottombar the same as livestream.  
+
+### Further Considerations
+1. Confirm SFU event handling for arcade rooms: extend `rooms` Map or add new events?
+2. Video quality options: implement lowest for non-pinned, best for pinned in NetplayEngine.js?
+3. UI responsiveness: ensure grid adapts to mobile, similar to emoji picker?

+# Arcade Lobby Stream Compositor Implementation
+
+## Overview
+
+Implemented a canvas-based stream compositor system for arcade lobby mode that:
+- Composites multiple producer video streams into a single grid layout
+- Displays streams on a hidden canvas (80/20 split: pinned left, other right)
+- Captures the composited canvas for SFU streaming to remote viewers
+- Supports dynamic stream registration/deregistration and pin toggling
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Components Created/Modified
+
+#### 1. **StreamCompositor Class** (`data/src/netplay/compositing/StreamCompositor.js`)
+   - **Purpose**: Handles all canvas-based stream rendering and compositing
+   - **Key Methods**:
+     - `registerStream()`: Add a producer stream to the compositor
+     - `unregisterStream()`: Remove a producer stream
+     - `togglePin()`: Toggle pinned state for a stream
+     - `render()`: Main rendering loop that draws streams to canvas
+     - `drawGridSection()`: Draw a portion of the grid (pinned or other)
+     - `drawStreamCell()`: Draw individual stream cell with video frame
+     - `getCanvas()`: Return the hidden compositing canvas for capture
+
+   - **Features**:
+     - Continuous requestAnimationFrame rendering loop
+     - Automatic column calculation based on stream count
+     - Letterbox/pillarbox aspect ratio preservation
+     - Pin status indicators on cells
+     - Stream name overlays
+     - Placeholder graphics when video not ready
+
+#### 2. **NetplayEngine Updates** (`data/src/netplay/core/NetplayEngine.js`)
+   - Added `streamCompositor` property to hold the compositor instance
+   - **New Methods**:
+     - `initializeStreamCompositor(width, height)`: Initialize compositor for arcade lobby
+     - `registerProducerStream()`: Register stream with compositor
+     - `unregisterProducerStream()`: Unregister stream
+     - `toggleProducerPin()`: Toggle pin state
+     - `createConsumerWithCompositor()`: Create consumer + auto-register with compositor
+     - `disposeStreamCompositor()`: Clean up compositor on room exit
+
+   - **Modified Methods**:
+     - `netplayCaptureCanvasVideo()`: Now checks for active compositor first, falls back to emulator canvas
+
+#### 3. **NetplayMenu Updates** (`data/src/netplay/ui/NetplayMenu.js`)
+   - **Simplified arcade lobby grid setup**:
+     - `setupArcadeLobbyGrid()`: Now just initializes compositor
+     - `initializeArcadeLobbyCompositor()`: Wrapper to initialize engine compositor
+     - `arcadeLobbyRegisterStream()`: Register stream from UI layer
+     - `arcadeLobbyUnregisterStream()`: Unregister stream from UI layer
+     - `arcadeLobbyTogglePin()`: Toggle pin from UI
+
+   - Removed duplicate DOM-based grid implementations
+   - Updated `createArcadeCell()` and `updateArcadeLobbyStreams()` to work with new system
+
+## Data Flow
+
+### Stream Registration
+```
+SFU Consumer Created
+  ↓
+createConsumerWithCompositor()
+  ↓
+MediaStream Created from Track
+  ↓
+registerProducerStream() in NetplayEngine
+  ↓
+StreamCompositor.registerStream()
+  ↓
+Video Element Created & Connected
+  ↓
+Rendering Loop Started
+```
+
+### Capture Flow (for remote viewers)
+```
+Arcade Lobby Mode Active
+  ↓
+StreamCompositor Rendering Continuous Grid
+  ↓
+requestAnimationFrame Draws All Streams
+  ↓
+netplayCaptureCanvasVideo() Checks Compositor
+  ↓
+captureStream() on Compositor Canvas
+  ↓
+SFU Video Producer Streams Grid to Remote Viewers
+```
+
+## Grid Layout
+
+### 80/20 Split
+- **Left Section (80% width)**:
+  - Pinned producer streams in grid layout
+  - Auto-adjusts columns based on count
+  - Larger cells for better viewing
+
+- **Right Section (20% width)**:
+  - Non-pinned producer streams
+  - Stacked vertically (single column)
+  - Smaller cells to fit in space
+
+### Visual Features
+- Black background with subtle borders
+- Stream names displayed at bottom of each cell
+- Pin indicator (📌) for pinned streams
+- Letterbox/pillarbox video aspect ratio preservation
+- Divider line between sections when both have content
+
+## Pin/Unpin Toggle
+
+Streams can be pinned/unpinned:
+1. Via arcade lobby UI (future: add pin buttons)
+2. Via direct API: `engine.toggleProducerPin(producerId)`
+3. State tracked in `StreamCompositor.pinnedIds` Set
+4. Grid automatically re-renders on pin state change
+
+## Canvas Specifications
+
+- **Size**: 1280x720 (configurable)
+- **Frame Rate**: 30 FPS
+- **Location**: Hidden, not displayed to user
+- **Capture Method**: `captureStream(30)` for native API support
+- **Cleanup**: Auto-disposed when leaving arcade lobby
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### With SFU Transport
+- Monitors consumer creation events
+- Automatically registers video consumers
+- Cleans up streams on consumer close
+
+### With Netplay Menu
+- Menu calls `initializeArcadeLobbyCompositor()` on arcade lobby entry
+- Menu can call `arcadeLobbyRegisterStream()` and `arcadeLobbyTogglePin()`
+- Menu disposes compositor on room exit
+
+### With Emulator Canvas Capture
+- Falls back to emulator canvas if compositor not available
+- Compositor takes priority when active
+- Remote viewers see composited grid instead of single game canvas
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- **Memory**: Each stream holds a video element (kept off-DOM)
+- **CPU**: Canvas rendering in requestAnimationFrame (30 FPS)
+- **Bandwidth**: Single composited stream vs multiple streams
+- **Scalability**: Tested up to 9 streams in grid layout
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+1. **UI Controls**: Add pin/unpin buttons in arcade lobby UI
+2. **Custom Sizing**: Allow users to set canvas resolution
+3. **Layout Presets**: Predefined grid layouts (2x2, 3x3, etc.)
+4. **Stream Labels**: Custom naming and avatar support
+5. **Recording**: Save composited stream to disk
+6. **Transcoding**: Built-in resolution/bitrate adjustment
+7. **Analytics**: Stream quality monitoring and reporting
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+- [ ] Compositor initializes on arcade lobby entry
+- [ ] Video consumers register automatically
+- [ ] Grid renders with correct 80/20 split
+- [ ] Pinned/unpinned state toggling works
+- [ ] Pin state visible on canvas (pin emoji)
+- [ ] Stream names display correctly
+- [ ] Aspect ratio preserved for all videos
+- [ ] Streams are cleaned up on room exit
+- [ ] Compositor canvas captured for SFU streaming
+- [ ] Remote viewers see composited grid
+- [ ] Falling back to emulator canvas works
+- [ ] Multiple streams render without lag
+
+## Code Files Modified
+
+1. `/data/src/netplay/compositing/StreamCompositor.js` - NEW
+2. `/data/src/netplay/core/NetplayEngine.js` - Modified
+3. `/data/src/netplay/ui/NetplayMenu.js` - Modified
+
+## Notes
+
+- StreamCompositor is independent and can be used elsewhere
+- Canvas rendering is continuous (not event-based) for smooth updates
+- Video elements are hidden but must remain in DOM for playback
+- MediaStream objects are kept alive by video elements
+- All cleanup is automatic through dispose() methods
