However, sometimes ports were sloppy, and prone to bugs and/or optimization issues (e.g. ''Grand Theft Auto IV''). Every port has its own issues so it has to be approached on a case-by-case basis. The game may also only have very outdated options, such as only a few resolutions. It's best to check [https://pcgamingwiki.com PCGamingWiki] for any potential issues you might have.
Classic games may only be available for the [[Windows 95/98/ME emulators|Windows 9x]] family as 16-bit software, which does not run on x86_64 without some form of emulation (x86 is a different story), so getting them to work could be stressful. However, [[Wine]] can play a majority of classic titles very well. Some ports may be for [[86/286/386/486/Pentium|DOS]] and are supported by [[DOSBox]].
There are also community patches which can fix some of these issues and depend on the complexity of the game, it may have a cross-platform [[Game engine recreations|game engine recreation]]. Depending on a game's popularity, it may even have a full remake. Obscure titles may have no fixes at all.
Older games may not have good controller support as Xinput does not have backward compatibility with DirectInput. One of the most common problems in the digital pad not being recognized. In that case, button mappers like [https://github.com/AntiMicro/antimicro/releases AntiMicro] can be helpful.
