Can you play Resident Evil 4 in your browser?
Yes, with a disc image you own. Play! reports Resident Evil 4 as fully playable, and Play! runs in a browser. Use our browser emulator. Keep in mind that the tracker covers Play! on every platform, and its browser version is described by the project as an experiment, so results in a browser can be worse than on a desktop.
