Every guide here is computed from the compatibility data at build time, not written from memory. Add a cheaper device that runs Dreamcast and the price guide says so on the next deploy.
The test for whether something belongs on this page: could a person without the dataset write it? If yes, it is an opinion piece and it does not go here.
The price floor for every emulated system, taken from tested devices rather than spec sheets. One row per system, with the cheapest device that clears the bar and the testing that says so.
ReadWhere the money stops buying you anything and where it buys a whole generation. Price tiers built from tested devices, showing exactly which systems open up at each step.
ReadThe untested combinations, the places where sources contradict each other, and how much of the matrix rests on a single source. The weaknesses of the dataset, published deliberately.
ReadBuilt from 138 tested combinations across 18 devices. Data last changed on .
