Read Lichii Emulator compatibility reports

Start with the game entry on the project’s compatibility site, then open an individual report. A label summarizes one player’s judgment. The most informative detail is often the last place they could still see, move or save.

Inside a player report
Ocarina of Time · Forest Temple

What do the five outcomes mean?

Perfect
The player saw no problems during the session they describe. Read how far they played to understand the scope of that observation.
Playable
The reporting guide reserves this label for a game that can be completed with minor issues. Check the writer’s account of progress before treating a particular report as evidence of completion.
Runs
Gameplay begins, but substantial problems interfere with further progress. Find the first affected scene or action in the written description.
Loads
The player reached a menu or a scene and could go no farther. Note whether input, audio or graphics continued at the stopping point.
Unplayable
The session failed at startup or produced a black screen. Look for the exact build and whether the emulator itself remained open.

Outcome definitions from the project

Compare two sessions on the same title

  1. Check the game edition and update. Then read the build field for each session. Two archives with similar names can contain different revisions, and two games can share a title across platforms.
  2. Match the graphics API, GPU, driver and resolution where supplied. Look for mods or an input profile that changes the test. An empty field means the player did not document that condition.
  3. Read the narrative before comparing labels. On one build 130 Forest Temple report, the player chose Playable but described a frozen picture after the boss. That report documents progress through the dungeon and a problem at its exit.

What if the reports disagree or your title is missing?

The latest result on the game page describes the most recent report, while its median summarizes the submitted ratings. Neither answers a scene-specific question by itself. A player who only visited a menu had a different test opportunity from someone who loaded a late-game save.

If no session matches your title or hardware, leave its status open. To contribute a result, record the starting point, the action you took, what you expected and what actually happened. On an eligible desktop build, stop the game and right-click its entry during the same Lichii session to choose Submit compatibility report. Confirm the catalog match and inspect the public preview before submitting.

Game compatibility FAQ

If the newest report says Playable but the median says Runs, which should I use?

Open both the latest session and a report closest to your hardware. Look for the furthest recorded scene on the same game update and Lichii build. The median combines submissions from several different setups.

Does a Perfect rating mean the player reached the credits?

Only the account of progress can establish that. Read the description and the point reached. A clean session through one area is evidence for that area, even when the player selects Perfect.

I closed the emulator after playing. Can I submit that desktop session now?

The native reporter uses the latest eligible session in the current Lichii process. On a build with that feature, replay the relevant scene, stop the game, then use its game-list reporting command before quitting the emulator.
