Is It Playable is a channel focused on testing the playability of certain systems within RetroArch on a game by game basis, judging the performance on a variety of factors such as whether the game suffers from any texture or lighting issues, audio stuttering or crackling and just general stutters.

What Does Each Rating Mean?
Playable - No/Minimal texture issues, no audio issues, performance is perfect.
Playable With Issues - Minor texture issues, some audio issues, performance is perfect/good but has slight hitching.
Not Playable - Failure to boot, lots of texture issues, audio crackling, performance has regular hitching/stuttering.
