; Playdate Simulator | |||
: The official Playdate emulator by Panic, bundled in the first-party Playdate SDK as a test platform for developers. Plays most Lua-coded games perfectly by itself, but by design it does not play encrypted (DRM-laden) Catalog games or compiled C games from disparate platforms. In other words, a Playdate game partially coded in C but compiled on Mac won't run on the Windows simulator and vice versa because the Simulator runs compiled C code natively (as in, without emulation or interpretation). | |||
[[Category: | ; Cranked | ||
[[Category:Handheld consoles]] | : Early-stage open-source Playdate emulator. To-date much of the functionality is missing (sprites, audio, graphical effects), but the groundwork is laid for Lua and C games to boot down the line. | ||
; pd-emu | |||
: Another early-stage, open-source emulator that cannot be run since the author has yet to integrate the Playdate API. | |||
