A new tool for cross checking compatibility in various emulators has entered the scene.
EmuReady.com, a user-led platform designed to gather and organize compatibility insights from across the emulation landscape has finally launched. With the growing variety of handhelds, single-board computers doubling as retro setups, and emulators, EmuReady gives users a centralized way to share what works, what doesn’t, and how well specific games run on different setups.
Neat idea.
One of the problems caused by certain litigious corporations is that a lot of community-developed knowledge about game/emulator compatibility is lost when an emulator project is forcibly shut down. A separate repository for that knowledge, like this one, could help preserve the information.
I’m disappointed that it doesn’t show game details unless the browser allows off-site images, and doesn’t show any information at all unless the browser allows javascript. This requires users to expose themselves to security and privacy risks in order to use the site. I would consider contributing if they fix this.
