"Pressure Sensitive Buttons" column for each page?
Should we get rid of iOS’s ‡? While it’s still in very early development, touchHLE is already able to run at least one commercial app and it looks very promising, but it’s still a far cry from what we usually would call mobile device emulation – it’s ''very'' high-level, and it’s more of an iOS substitute that runs alongside a CPU emulator. The iOS itself isn’t even planned to be supported. I personally think that the ability to run apps should alone be grounds to consider the iOS emulated, but I can see how that could be controversial.

It’s been a week and nobody replied, so, considering that systems like the PS4 and Super A’Can don’t have it even though the current state of their emulation is barely practical, I’ll take iOS’s off for now. [[User:Rariteh|rariteh]] ([[User talk:Rariteh|talk]]) 05:22, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
 
== Windows XP/Vista section ==
 
I know XP and Vista are NT-based operating systems but i think there should be a Windows XP page like Windows 9x one;

:I'm cool with it if others are, also you could remove the Libretro column since you added libretro to all the Latest Version columns. - [[User:OldManKain|OldManKain]] ([[User talk:OldManKain|talk]]) 05:28, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
