This is not a complete list of every single port ever. Instead this focuses on games which are notable for having issues, which are solved by using another system.
(E) beside the name means that this port relies upon simple emulation of a romROM, and thus the rom ROM can be extracted from that port and played in another emulator.
(R) refers to a full remakes. Remakes may dramatically differ from the original game. There is however, some grey area between an "enhanced port" and a "remake". A game may be ported
The most common PC ports were to the Windows brand of operating systems. Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows 2000 ports may be difficult to run on a modern Windows OS such as Windows 7 or Windows 8, usually with varying levels of compatibility or patching required. [[Wine]] can many times play these games very well. Other ports were to [[DOS]], which can be played very well in [[DOSBox]].
Many times fans have stepped in and released patches which can fix some of these issues. This is typcially typically for only the most popular games however, and obscure titles may have no fixes.
Often times, controllers will not be entirely recognized by these old PC games. The most commonly cited is the digital pad not being recognized. In that case the program [http://www.electracode.com/4/joy2key/JoyToKey%20English%20Version.htm JoyToKey] can be helpful.
Some SNES games suffered from slowdown which may be fixed in ports.
Many SNES games were ported to the GBA. These versions may have extra features, but at the cost of poorer audio and visuals. The resolution is lower, and it was never intended to be played on a full display. The screen area may also be reduced due to the lower resolution. The audio is much lower quality than the SNES. Also, the GBA has much stronger colors to compensate for the lack of contrast in the original GBA display. To compensate, a shader or an option is needed. Additionally for controls, the gba GBA has two fewer buttons.
Several SNES games were ported to the PlayStation. These are typically emulated, and the CD format creates long loading times. Generally it is recommended to avoid the PS1 ports for this reason and to stick with the original releases. However, in some cases the PS1 port might offer more features.

The PS1 has [[PlayStation_emulators#Emulation_issues|problems with 3D]] which become more noticeable in HD emulation. Many PS1 games were ported to Windows. However, these PC ports may be difficult to run on modern operating systems, such as Windows 7 or Windows 8.
