: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).
