Documented support and independently tested compatibility are different. AllRecomps has not run these games.
Development progress
The authors describe single-player and split-screen multiplayer as fully working within a mostly functional port. This is the project’s documented assessment, not an AllRecomps gameplay test.

Known limitations
The README reports minor graphical and gameplay issues and possible occasional crashes. Experimental tick rates above roughly 165 FPS can cause issues; the authors recommend a frame-rate cap or VSync.
