Feature description

Includes game emulation support

I read the quoted phrase above, and not finding a list of emulated platforms, I tried scanning local folders [1] with games in the following formats:

  1. .air (RealSpec)
  2. .dck (Warajevo)
  3. .dsk
  4. .fdi
  5. .hdf (RealSpec and Fuse)
  6. .img
  7. .mdr
  8. .mgt
  9. .pok (SGD)
  10. .rzx
  11. .slt
  12. .sna
  13. .szx (Spectaculator)
  14. .tap
  15. .trd
  16. .tzx
  17. .z80

As far as I understand, Playnite does not provide built-in support for them. Perhaps it makes sense to directly indicate in README.md that emulation of platforms other than Windows is not available "out of the box", and is implemented in some other way. At least, in the application settings I did not see a tab called "Emulators" or something like that. A search at playnite.link/addons.html also yielded no positive results.

Metadata for Speccy games can be obtained from the World of Spectrum website.
