What is Is It Playable?

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. At the end of the 5-10 minute test the game is judged on those listed factors to give the game one of 3 ratings: Playable, Playable With Issues or Not Playable.

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.

Special thanks to @Alzorath for helping with the thumbnail creation and @Gamr13 for making RetroArch on Xbox Retail a possibility, these videos wouldn't exist otherwise.
