What the reports establish
4 result rows from 3 projects are preserved here. 0 rows only describe a discussion, an absent entry, or a different console; those are not extra tests. Sources were collected on 2026-10-15.
Dated result rows range from 2026-10-05 to 2026-10-11. These are the dates printed in the copied reports, not a new test or a new publication date for this website.
The 4 project/platform scopes do not all have the same status. Compare the individual project, OS, date, and build below. A difference between projects or machines is not proof of a regression in one emulator.

What is still missing
1 result rows have no identifiable build in the copied fields or excerpt. Hardware and game versions are shown only where the source table supplies them; a value mentioned by one reporter belongs to that setup only. This site did not rerun these sessions. For reproduction, open the original report and match the emulator commit, game title ID/version, CPU/GPU, driver and OS before comparing outcomes.
In game means a cited report got past menus into gameplay on a named setup. It is not a promise for your GPU, and it is not the official Playable mark.
anyps5.org calls this experimental and its FAQ cites about 2 FPS on a patched Linux setup. The v0.1.0 release notes include a pull request whose title says the game was booted to its first level. A pull-request title is history, not a current Playable verdict. Expect a research result, not a playable action game.
