SuperGrafx is the successor to the original PC Engine (It was even call the PC Engine 2 at one point in development) also, it can be argue that the [[Wii emulators|Wii]] is just upgraded model of the [[Nintendo GameCube emulators|GameCube]] with a new controller. Emulation of the Wii happened almost instantly because their hardware is almost identical, in fact, their hardware is so closely related that only one emulator was needed to cover both systems ([[Dolphin]]) do we merge Wii & GameCube articles together as well? I would vote no to that.

: You're probably right. On a second thought, [[Videopac+]] has certainly to be separated from [[Magnavox Odyssey²]] page as well using this reasoning, it had been going to be called Odyssey³ before the American release was scrapped. Less certain cases: I don't know about color revisions of monochrome consoles (Game Boy, WonderSwan, Neo Geo Pocket), I saw quite a few emulators for monochrome Game Boy only, no support for GBC games, but I saw no emulators for monochrome WonderSwan or Neo Geo Pocket only. Perhaps color versions must have a column in emulator comparisons table as well. And even less certain case is Master System/Game Gear, I saw a few emulators which supports GG only (no SMS support) and a few with SMS support only (no GG), most of them are obsolete emulators from 2000s.

Suggestion to merge with main PC Engine / TurboGrafx article
[edit source]The SuperGrafx is essentially just an upgraded model of the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 more than it is its own console, and all 3 recommended PC Engine emulators (Mednafen, ares, and MesenCE) already fully support its small handful of games.
I'm new here so I don't want to step on any toes by doing it without asking (or by fucking up the table formatting out of ignorance or carelessness which someone else then has to fix), but my suggestion would be for someone to add a column for SuperGrafx support in the emulators table on the PC Engine article, and possibly a section in the article later about SuperGrafx. Otherwise we're left with a redundant article here, which is inconsistent with how similar consoles or home computers are handled elsewhere on the wiki.

- It actually was a single article, a user separated SuperGrafx into a separate article, no idea why. If you want to do it, you just do it yourself. There's a preview function to avoid breaking table formatting. Ilyagredasov (talk) 00:00, 31 July 2026 (UTC)
