Some video games were developed with emulators built into their ROMs. Sometimes they were made to only run one game, or were capable of running other ROMs through hacking. | Some video games were developed with emulators built into their ROMs. Sometimes they were made to only run one game, or were capable of running other ROMs through hacking. | ||

=== ''Capcom Fighting Collection 2'' ([[PlayStation emulators#Capcom ZN-1 and Capcom ZN-2|Sony ZN-2]], [[Dreamcast emulators#Arcade variants|NAOMI]], and [[PlayStation 2 emulators#Namco System 246|Namco System 246]]) === | |||
Shenmue III lacks any of the Sega Arcade games, although references to them are scattered as easter eggs during the game. | === ''Gradius Origins'' (Konami) === | ||
While this compilation consists mainly of emulated games, a new game, ''Salamander III'', is included. It runs on the same engine as ''Haunted Castle Revisited'' from ''Castlevania Dominus Collection''. | |||
The emulated games are ''Gradius'' (both Bubble System, stand-alone and Nintendo VS. System versions), ''Salamander'', ''Life Force'' (a Japan-only revision), ''Vulcan Venture'' (''Gradius II: Gofer no Yabou''), ''Gradius III'' and ''Salamander 2''. Their emulation is powered by [[m2engage]]. | |||
=== ''LEGO Dimensions'' (Midway, Williams, and Atari Games) === | |||
A physical media-only game themed around the LEGO franchise for 7th and 8th generation consoles, ''LEGO Dimensions'' features a Midway-themed world known as Midway Arcade, distributed as a free downloadable content. It enables players to play games from the Midway catalogue purchased by Warner Bros., including games from Williams and Atari Games. | |||
The featured games are ''720°'', ''Badlands'', ''Blasteroids'', ''Championship Sprint'', ''Cyberball 2072'', ''Defender'', ''Defender II'', ''Gauntlet'', ''Gauntlet II'', ''Joust'', ''Joust II'', ''Klax'', ''Marble Madness'', ''Paperboy'', ''Rampage'', ''RoadBlasters'', ''Robotron 2084'', ''Spy Hunter'', ''Super Sprint'', ''Timber'', ''Toobin''', ''Vindicators'' and ''Xybots''. Said emulation of those games were done by Code Mystics, likely using their [[FOCAL]] engine. | |||
Unusual from many compilations, references (or even emulations) to ''Ms. Pac-Man'' or the ''Mortal Kombat'' franchise are not included in the game. | |||
=== ''Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics'' (CP System Dash, CP System II, and NAOMI) === | |||
=== ''Midway Arcade Treasures'', ''Midway Arcade Treasures 2'', and ''Midway Arcade Treasures: Extended Play'' (Midway, Williams, and Atari Games) === | |||
=== ''Ninja Gaiden Black'' (Tecmo) === | |||
This Xbox game features an emulation of the Arcade game ''Ninja Gaiden''. In order to unlock, the player needs to collect 50 scarabs, which is the final reward from Muramasa. The Arcade game does not return in its updated versions for other platforms. | |||
The Japanese version of the game is also included, by switching both the text and audio of ''Ninja Gaiden Black'' to Japanese. | |||
=== ''Shenmue'' and ''Shenmue II'' (Sega) === | |||
The first two ''Shenmue'' games feature emulation of Sega Arcade games as minigames during Ryo Hazuki's quest, notably, the Super Scaler ones. In the original, ''Hang-On'' and ''Space Harrier'' are playable; ''After Burner II'' and ''OutRun'', alongside the two former games, can be played in ''Shenmue II''. The Arcade games remain playable in subsequent ports of ''Shenmue II'' for Xbox, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam. | |||

For some reason, these compilations tried to claim they worked by streaming the original cartridge data through a Link Cable in order to play them on a bigger screen. And while it is true that they require the GBA cartridges, the actual data the game needs is already on the disc itself, as the game uses a GBA emulator Nintendo developed in-house to run the games. | For some reason, these compilations tried to claim they worked by streaming the original cartridge data through a Link Cable in order to play them on a bigger screen.

This reboot of the franchise for the Xbox features an emulation of ''Ninja Gaiden Trilogy'', as opposed to emulation of the original NES iterations. The first game is unlocked by getting 50 scarabs from Muramasa, while the second and third ones requires additional steps to unlock, including full gameplay of the first for the second one and full gameplay of the second for the third. | |||

It's possible to play the Game Boy Pokémon games by using a Transfer Pak in Pokémon Stadium in GB Tower mode. This software emulator can boot many other Game Boy and even GBC games in SGB mode, but there seems to be a mechanism to detect the three officially supported games, and according to [http://krikzz.com/forum/index.php?topic=1283.0 this thread on the KRIKzz forum], it's possible to circumvent the checks in another ROM with a vanilla Transfer Pak and unmodified North American copy of Pokémon Stadium. Not many useful tools are available, but in theory a romhack of Stadium could disable these checks (considering they're documented) and could even be placed in Stadium's ROM instead. | It's possible to play the Game Boy Pokémon games by using a Transfer Pak in ''Pokémon Stadium'' in GB Tower mode.
