Platform Support

Supported platforms in Rex are platforms that Rex knows and understands so that proper logos, platform specific ROM information, and other platform specific information can be used.

Unsupported plaforms can still be used with Rex, just Rex will not know what they are and won't pull information about the console.

Rex also performs auto-identificataion on supported platforms that have the identity of the game in the ROM. These platforms allow for a deterministic way to identify what a game is without relying on a filename. If auto-identification fails, the filename will be used as a fallback method. auto-identification can take a long time and be memory intensive on large libraries with lots of ROMs for newer consoles, auto-identification can be disabled per-platform in the configuration.

Supported Platforms These platforms are supported in Rex v0.1
