→What are recommended emulators?
*generally, be usable day-to-day by even the not-so-tech-savvy users;
*be improved regularly--in other words, be active and, preferably, be open-source (not closed-source), as that ensures that any active programmer can keep the software in shipshape condition and able to run on latest operating systems.
*[[Emulation_Accuracy|accuracy]]-focused emulators are '''only recommended''' when they're have reasonable amount of compatibility compared to general-use emulators. This one should only be considered for users who want to use various [[Homebrew_and_hack_Roms|Homebrew]], [[Game_engine_recreations_and_source_ports|Game engine recreations and source ports]], and development /developer communities or just want to ensure they'll be able to play most games with the least amount of unexpected/unreported glitches or timing issues etc. (Do NOT use "preserve the hardware's inner workings for posterity" mindset for recommendation on emugen wiki)
And also there are [https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Category:Very_early_emulation very early] or limited options for specific systems like [[Xbox_360_emulators|Xbox 360]], if that is the case, authors/contributors usually "recommend or somewhat recommend" that emulator '''if it has some level of compatibility'''.
