Documented support and independently tested compatibility are different. AllRecomps has not run these games.
Development progress
The launcher documents disc validation, settings and save handling. Its unlocked-frame-rate option is experimental rather than a validated performance guarantee.

Known limitations
Unlocked frame rates are explicitly experimental. Very high numbers advertised by a project are not independent benchmarks or proof that game timing stays correct. Test the standard configuration first and retain logs for reproducible issues.

Getting started
Use the official launcher to import the supported local disc files, complete preparation and start the game. F10 opens settings. Keep the launcher’s save backups and make a separate copy before replacing or regenerating the installation.
