 # Ryujinx Games Compatibility List
 
-Anyone is free to update or share their results here. 
+Anyone is free to update or share their results here, with the following requirements:
+- You must use an official master build with the "Ignore Missing Services" feature DISABLED
+- Follow the new issue template and remove any unnecessary text, but please leave all formatting intact.
+- Search for a game first before adding a new issue; if you find an existing issue that is out of date, reply to it with a copied/pasted new issue template. A curator will then edit the OP with your test data.
 
-All game states should be handled in issues but you need to follow the issue template to ensure they're valid.
-When you update or add some feedback, please, be as accurate as possible. 
+When you update or add additional information in an issue, please reply to the issue indicating your changes.
 
-Thanks.
+A curator will apply appropriate labels to the issue. Our criteria may be a tad more stringent than some other emulator compatibility lists, (and this may eventually change one day), but for now, see the status label cheat sheet.  
+
+**Status label cheat sheet**:
+- status-playable - Boots and plays without any crashes or gpu bugs of any kind, and at a speed fast enough to reasonably enjoy on an average PC. 
+- status-ingame - Boots and goes in-game but suffers from one or more of the following: crashes, deadlocks, gpu bugs, distractingly bad audio, or is simply too slow. Game still might able to be played all the way through, but not as the game is intended to play.
+- status-menus - Boots and goes past the title screen but does not make it into main gameplay.
+- status-boots - Boots but does not make it past the title screen.
+- status-nothing  - Does not boot/shows no signs of life.
