PC Engine Emulator
NEC - 1987
Play your legally owned PC Engine games locally in the browser with Emu Paradise. Your ROM files stay in this browser.
Before you play
This page uses EmulatorJS with the configured mednafen_pce core. You need your own lawfully obtained game dump; this site does not supply commercial ROMs or BIOS files.
PC Engine cartridge images and CD images have different requirements. For CDs, include the disc descriptor and every referenced track.
This app does not require a BIOS selection to enable Start. That is an interface rule, not a guarantee that every game or media type is free of firmware requirements.
The emulator runtime must load before a game can start. Your selected game files are used locally, not uploaded to a game server.
Accepted files
This page accepts: .pce, .cue, .ccd, .iso, .img, .bin, .chd. These are importer extensions, not a tested game compatibility list.
Select every related file for multi-track discs. Keep descriptor references and track filenames unchanged; a missing companion track can prevent loading or audio playback.
ZIP containers can be extracted locally by the importer. Keep all required game files together; extraction does not convert a dump into another system or format.
Controller setup
PC Engine games normally use a D-pad, I/II, Run and Select. Some games need a six-button controller configuration.
Use the player input settings to inspect or change bindings. Focus the game before using the keyboard, and connect a gamepad before checking its inputs. Browser recognition does not guarantee every controller or accessory works.
Known limits
CD games can require System Card firmware even though this app does not offer a separate BIOS picker for PC Engine. Cartridge import and CD readiness are not the same.
Performance and accuracy depend on the game, core, device and browser. No per-game compatibility or full-speed guarantee is made.
The local library may need you to re-link files when browser storage is unavailable or cleared. Keep original dumps and independent backups of important progress.
If a game does not start
For a CD that fails to boot, check track references and System Card requirements in the core documentation; for controls, check the selected pad type.
Check the player error message, the selected system and the original dump first. A successful extension check does not validate the file contents. See Guides for the import workflow and the core reference below for system requirements.
