In this article "'''Legacy systems'''" means are systems that are unsupported or abandoned by their manufacturer/developer.

This does NOT Examples include emulators for discontinued the '''[[:Category:Emulators on handhelds#Windows 9x|handheldsWindows 9x]] ''' series of operating systems, or home computers such as '''[[:Category:Emulators_on_consoles#Commodore 64|consolesCommodore 64]]''', or operating systems supported by their developers (Such as [[Windows]] or [[Linux]])which no longer recieve official manufacturer support.

:''For software that emulates these systems see: [[POS_(Pong_Consoles)_CPUs_and_Other_Chips#x86_CPUs|x86 CPUs]], [[Macintosh line|Macintosh]], [[Commodore 64 emulators|Commodore 64]], [[MSX emulators|MSX]], [[Cellphone_emulators#Microsoft|Windows Phone/Mobile]], [[Windows CE|Windows CE]], [[FM Towns emulators|FM Towns]], [[Atari 8-bit]] [[Atari ST emulators|Atari ST]], [[ZX Spectrum emulators|ZX Spectrum]], [[ColecoVision emulators|Coleco Adam]], [[List_of_computers|Dragon 32/64]], [[List_of_computers|Tandy TRS-80]], [[NEC PC-9800 series|PC-9800]] and [[NEC PC-9800 series|PC-8800]].''
The reason to discontinuing these products varies. In the case of computers the reason support ends is due to the outdated hardware and lack of foreseeable money from supporting it. For operating systems it varies from lack of profit/lack of commercial success (such as '''[[#BeOS|BeOS]]''', '''[[#OS/2|OS/2]]''') to devices it was for becoming outdated or failing themselves (such as '''[[#BlackBerry|BlackBerry OS]]''').
This does NOT include emulators for discontinued [[:Category:Emulators on handhelds|handhelds]] or [[:Category:Emulators_on_consoles|consoles]], or operating systems supported by their developers (Such as [[Windows]] or [[Linux]]).
