Getting involved

If you're interested in helping out the Emulation General wiki but don't know where to start, here are some things we'd appreciate help with.

• Keep in mind, this wiki focuses on detailed and advanced information for "software emulators", preservation projects and other related stuff such as "hypervisors", "simulators", "compatibility layers", "wrappers" and "FPGA-based hardware cloning" (see Emulation accuracy page for more information about these terms). If you're looking for a more beginner-friendly approach, there's a fantastic website called 'FantasyAnime' that might be helpful!
• Before diving in, to ensure compatibility, accessibility and reliability with older systems and retro web browsers (and related proxy projects), please avoid (as much as possible) using redirection links and other elements on pages that rely on JavaScript. Opt for non-JavaScript alternatives whenever possible, as JavaScript can cause issues with legacy systems/retro web browsers and the Wayback Machine (web.archive.org).

Low effort

• Updating emulator versions. You can find news and new releases on EmuNations, Zophar's Domain and AEP Emulation Page.
• Updating the News section on the main page.
• Correcting any redirect that links to another redirect instead of a page.
• Finding categories to put these pages in.
• Finding categories to put these categories in.
• Tagging pages that need it with {{stub}}, {{Outdated}} or {{WIP}}.
• Checking Short pages and tagging them with either {{stub}} if they should be longer or {{delete}} if they fill no function.
• Fixing spelling and grammar issues.

Moderate effort

• WIP articles – These are new articles that are not yet ready for the main page and need to be improved.
• Outdated articles – These articles contain information that might no longer be accurate and need to be updated.
• Articles stubs – These articles are stubs and need to be expanded with more information.
• Update/create new emulator pages - Copy the template below, add {{WIP}} if you need help or intend to finish the page later, add {{stub}} if everything is finished but it should be longer.

High effort

Wikipedia copies

These are articles we took from Wikipedia. The source article may either contain updated information beyond what we've copied, causing us to stagnate and provide potentially incorrect information, or showcase a subject in a manner that may stray from its relevance in emulation. The best way to deal with these articles is to rewrite them, but in their current form they require a high degree of knowledge in their fields in order to break them down for readers.

Emulator page template

Here's our current layout for an emulator page. Copy-paste this if you are creating a new emulator page or use it if a page needs updating. If you need an example, you can check out our Infobox emulator template page.

{{Infobox emulator
|title         = 
|logo          = 
|logowidth     = 
|developer     = 
|version       = 
|active        = 
|platform      = 
|architecture  = 
|target        = 
|compatibility = 
|accuracy      = 
|website       = 
|prog-lang     = 
|support       = 
|license       = 
|source        = 
}}
