Comparisons
- Playdate Simulator
- The official Playdate emulator by Panic, bundled in the first-party Playdate SDK as a test platform for developers. Plays most Lua games perfectly and does not need firmware dumped from real hardware, but by design it does not play encrypted (DRM-laden) Catalog games or Playdate games coded in C.
- 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 emulator that cannot be run since the author has yet to integrate the Playdate API.
