: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)
 
== How about some drastic changes? ==
 
How about no recommendation from now on? Also providing "compatibility" column instead of "accuracy" so there will be no confusion.<br/>
I mean we're already providing info about [[PlayStation_emulators#Hardware_Features_and_Peripherals|hardware feature support, peripherals]], [[PlayStation_emulators#Arcade_variations|variations]], [[PlayStation_emulators#Enhancements|enhancements]] and compatibility. Wiki users should decide their own favorite, no? Otherwise, it will be total mess like [[Game_Boy/Game_Boy_Color_emulators#Emulators]].

:I like combining "Arcade variations", "Hardware features and peripherals" and "Enhancements" into one column each. Compatibility column sounds good, but maybe keep accuracy. I don't like removing recommendations, instead we should remove some of the recommended on the GB page (and on other pages), try to keep it to as few as possible recommend by following the rules on the [[Recommended emulators]] page, should be around two-three recommended only. -[[User:Jpx|Jpx]] ([[User talk:Jpx|talk]]) 10:04, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

* - The issue here is "Brick Game 9999-in-1" is a very vague name and they are like millions of variations of this kind of Tetris stuff back in the 1990s. It's better just listed in "Dedicated consoles" or "Strange & forgotten consoles" if decided to be included in this Wiki rather than having its own page or even in the Main Page. [[User:Randname|Randname]] ([[User talk:Randname|talk]]) 02:10, 16 June 2023 (UTC) + Yeah I agree with you but these machines were quite popular in the 90s so i'm not entirely sure what should be done with it.
