===Comparisons===
;Playdate Simulator
:The official Playdate emulator by Panic, included bundled in the first-party Playdate SDKas a test platform for developers. Plays all most Lua-coded games perfectly and by itself, but by design it does not need any files dumped play encrypted (DRM-laden) Catalog games or compiled C games from real hardwaredisparate 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). ;Cranked: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.
