Yes, and it runs very well: a Citron NEO compatibility issue (September 2026) rates it Perfect on Linux with a Ryzen 5 4600G's integrated graphics, good enough for 4K; Ryubing lists it as Playable and the yuzu archive as Perfect. MeloNX users report it running very well on an iPhone 14 and perfectly on version 2.3.1, though one user had it crash on launch; there are no public Mac or Android tests yet.
Settings & known issues
- Integrated graphics are enough, even at 4K (Citron NEO user report).
