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]].

+ 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. [[User:Ahayri|Ahayri]] 09:12, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
MAME now emulates [https://github.com/mamedev/mame/pull/11872 Brick Games 96-in-1 (E-23 Plus Mark II)]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZfDkckRGgs [[User:Ahayri|Ahayri]] 13:08, 25 December 2023 (UTC)</s><br/>;[[Dedicated_Consoles#Brick_Game|Done]].[[User:Ahayri|Ahayri]] 09:42, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
== Put "General Emulation" section first ==
for example: [[NESticle|nesticle]] is still in the [[Nintendo_Entertainment_System_emulators]] page, i think we should only keep these older emulators in [[History_of_emulation]] and [[Emulators_on_DOS]] pages.

== New page for CD/DVD copy protection emulation ==

== Changing latest version, active status, and download in tables ==
*How about making some changes to how we present latest version and active status for emulators in tables?
Maybe include a date for the last update, like 2024-03-09?
Maybe use a template for the download links, so it's easily updated and can be mirrored on multiple pages?
Other suggestions? -[[User:Jpx|Jpx]] ([[User talk:Jpx|talk]]) 14:29, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
:*I like the idea, but I would like to know how we might create a template for the download links in the event that the links have distinct domain names and may dynamically change.

::*I've been thinking the same thing actually, i've also been thinking the website could benefit from some minor design changes. For example, left and right columns are huge problem to the large tables, these wide columns making the large tables feel even more cumbersome. Even the [[MainPageWIP]] page utilizes these large columns: https://imgur.com/a/ZnBH3PA [[User:Ahayri|Ahayri]] ([[User talk:Ahayri|talk]]) 17:39, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
:::*The right column is fixable, the left one is part of mediawiki default design, I am a webdev I can solve that but <s>I don't know who is the webmaster</s> it's up to [[User:SonofUgly|@SonofUgly]]. As for the tables I am wrapping them between <code><nowiki><div style="overflow-x:auto"></nowiki></code>, this will make the table responsive on mobile (and also on any viewport) it will create an overflow if it overflow's the page's container and adds horizontal scrolling bars on PC and on mobile you swap left and right to scroll the table (without any change to the page).[[User:Chipsum|<span style="letter-spacing:.1em;color:#212121;text-shadow:5px 1px 0 #ffb650,10px 2px 0 #62ffc5,15px 3px 0 #ff80bf,20px 4px 0 #ef5097,25px 5px 0 #6868ac">'''Chipsum'''</span>]] <sub>[[User_talk:Chipsum|<span>'''(✉️)'''</span>]]</sub> 12:11, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
== I propose this header colors and style ==
*So what do you say, I am thinking of removing the right td which contains the 4chan thread (and place it somewhere else)

*Some of the most beautifully designed mediawikis, to be inspired by [https://niwanetwork.org/members/]
*I suggest that the icons precede the name:

== InfoBox ==
<div>
I suggest this style for infoboxes, colors are demonstrative only you can change them or probably we make a variety of colored infoboxes,<br>
I replaced the caption with a span inside the infobox, with a background color to make it look like a caption.<br>
if all is ok, we still need the confirmation of the webmaster, since it's not possible to change the css of an infobox without accessing css files for it.
