Compatibility?

Libretro Cores
#1

Is there any kind of running compatibility lists for cores?

I used to just boot up games, and call it good if I could get to the title screen…

But I just sat through the 20min or w/e non-skippable opening scenes for Shenmue, only to have it crash the moment gameplay began… Then I tried to play Street Fighter 3 - Third Strike and got all the way into a battle, only to find that the characters aren’t displayed.

I know the cores aren’t perfect by any measure, but I figured there would be a compatibility list somewhere. That way we’d know what doesn’t work, and could be notified if an update to the core brought a game into a working state.

No, RetroArch supports tens of thousands of games across nearly 100 cores. There’s no way we could keep accurate compatibility lists for all of that. Reicast obviously has pretty low compatibility, and our older ppsspp core has some bugs but I think most other cores should be in pretty good shape.
