| {{Placeholder Section}}
| |
| The vast majority of Visual Novels (the Japanese equivalent of graphic adventure games) made for Windows [[DOS-based, Windows 1.0x/2x/3x series|3.1]] and [[Windows 95/98/ME emulators|9x]] Operating systems are unplayable and unavailable to the public. The only real way of playing any of them (at the time of writing) is setting up a Hypervisor or running a compatibility layer like [[Wine]], restricting access to these who can play them and significantly reducing the chance they will get re-release, let alone get a translation.

| ==The Visual Novel Problem==
| |
| Visual Novel preservation has been severely limited to mostly just making backups without an easy way of playing them, there are two main causes of this problem: | |
| | |
| * A Lack of interest from both game publishers and those capable of developing an engine recreation.
| |
| | |
| * The understandable but frustrating rules and policies of projects like [[ScummVM]], anything that has NSFW content will be left behind by these projects.
| |
| | |
| While many VN engines need recreations, this is unlikely to happen do to the current interest level and the content that a large majority of Visual Novels have.

| * [https://github.com/CommitteeOfZero/impacto Impacto] & [https://github.com/kichikuou/xsystem35-sdl2 Xsystem35] are two of the known recreation projects and need to be described,
| |
| * Are there any other recreation projects to be added?
