The Play! emulator provides work in progress support for Namco 246 & 256 systems. Currently you will need a high performance system to be able to emulate supported games. We recommend using the OpenGL API for now.

This rom directory should include a zip file based on the arcade id and a supporting folder with associated .chd file. i.e. Tekken 4 - tekken4.zip | tekken4 | ---tef1dvd0.chd
