→Improving to remove WIP tag: new section
::+ I agree completely. Focusing on Win9x emulators for this page will provide a clearer and more helpful resource for users, and then we can add this page to main page. [[User:Ahayri|Ahayri]] ([[User talk:Ahayri|talk]]) 09:53, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
:::I also agree. i will try to help maintain the article if anyone chooses to create it. definitely seems like a good addition to the site, "Emulators on Legacy systems" seems to be the only title suggested. [[User:Ahayri|Ahayri]] you definitely should create the article and create the rough format on how to list emulators, think that title will give us the freedom to have an article dedicated to also list less common OSes and windows 9x and older NT. I'll follow what title anyone chooses though<br>
::::+ [[Emulators_on_Legacy_OS|Done]], is there a compelling reason to retain [[Emulators_on_Windows|this page]] anymore? [[User:Ahayri|Ahayri]] ([[User talk:Ahayri|talk]]) 11:00, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
:::::I believe that [[Emulators_on_Windows|this page]] should be kept because most emulators target windows 10 and 11 while [[Emulators_on_Legacy_OS|Emulators on Legacy OS]] should only move the ones that target the older windows Operating systems or target older systems by low requirements from speed hacks.
== Improving to remove WIP tag ==
my ideas on how to better this article so the WIP tag can be removed without it being just for aesthetic reasons
* Add info about the history of Microsoft Windows like the console specific pages have to their consoles
* Removing emulators that aren't recommended (to a degree where it makes sense to remove them)/don't work on modern windows (if possible move to [[Emulators on Legacy systems]]
* Removing emulators that need workarounds to work on modern windows (such as needing dgVoodoo2) move to [[Emulators on Legacy systems]] when possible?
* Possibly having an article that explains the most common ways to setup emulators with (emulated) platform specific sections and linking to it.
* link to articles and create articles for people new to emulating consoles to help them start?
