Summary

Ootake is a free Windows emulator for PC Engine games, including TurboGrafx-16 titles. Its developer aims to reproduce the console’s sound, screen quality, operation, and detailed behavior. CD-ROM titles can be played with a PC CD drive and a PC Engine CD-ROM system card, while Hu-CARD games require a ROM image file. Ootake supports Windows gamepads, including assigning an additional controller as Player 1, and includes save states and video filters. A display mode added in version 3.06 provides dot-by-dot rendering for 256-pixel horizontal mode. The readme lists 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11; Windows 98 and Me are unsupported. Windows 10 and 11 require DirectX 9.0c. Some CD-ROM games may still fail to load data or progress. The maker says the program is unsupported, has no warranty, and is used at the user’s own risk. Options that reduce intense flashing in two named games are enabled by default, with precautions advised for people sensitive to flashing.
