    Q: Why are some games not playable online?
    A: We strive to offer as many games as possible. However, some games are not compatible with our web based emulator. This is often due to hardware incompatibilities and/or other limitations. In these cases we still offer the game for download to play offline in your emulator of choice. Many games where designed to be used on much older hardware.
