Changes

Many new interesting devices have been released recently, If you are looking for instance MiSTsomething to do, RetroUSB AVS or Nt minicheck the [[Getting involved]] page. I guess There's also a new section would be really useful[[Talk:Getting involved|Getting involved talk page]]. Related links:

http== Adding links to more content pages on the main page ==I think it would improve the wiki and make it more accessible to everyone, if we added links on the main page to more content pages that don't have a link yet. I can't do it myself though, so I'd appreciate if someone else considered doing it. I have looked up all content pages at https://atariageemulation.gametechwiki.com/forums/topic/262816-its-fun-to-play-index.php?title=Special:AllPages&hideredirects=1 and I have made a list of most of the ones that aren't yet linked on-the-f-p-g-main page, excluding all that focus on specific emulators and afew more that I thought were better off staying inside other links. Also, there's at least 2 pages on this list that aren't linked from any other page, [[XD/XD+]] and [[Thread_template]]. Here's the list:

When someone says their smartphone is not a computer, that's someone ignorant to what a computer is (or what defines as a computer). When we further that agenda here we If you are just fueling that same mindset that's wrong. This is why I said let's come up having problems with a way of categorizing these systems in a way that doesn't reflect negatively on the view of what constitutes a computer in the other categories. Just because "everyone says 'X' things are 'Y'" doesn't mean we should stray along with common beliefs. Just consider this: Is Playstation 3 a computer? Yep. It has a microprocessornew builds, RAM, a GPU. Does your "PC" have a microprocessor, RAM, and a GPU? Yep. Based on the latter, we you can confirm that Playstation 3 is no less a computer than your desktop build ... or Gameboy Color ... or Atari even (same fundamentals, just with very limited resources). Do you consider your PS3, Vita, etc. to be "personal"? If you do, it's technically a "personal computer". This is why I'm arguing semantics here where it counts. The "PC" has no real meaning/definition ... find me one that defines what exactly makes something a "PC" and what makes it not use this oneinstead. People often consider "anything sitting on their desk that runs Windows" to be a PC, even though plenty of us know that OS X is compiled for the exact same architecture, has drivers for the same GPUs, and has a platform almost identical to that Windows>*</Linuxabbr><br/etc. runs on.

:When an emugen was created on the first 8chan bubble it was the exact same thing, people bitching and starting drama over 4chan's emugen. If 8chan got popular - 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 emulation board took off, it'd be the same shit1990s. It's better just how a lot of people are listed in "Dedicated consoles" or "Strange & forgotten consoles" if decided to be included in the emulation community.:And 8chan just isn't big enough, you might get a few people interested and posting for a day this Wiki rather than having its own page or two, but just like even in the emugen thread before, and the emugen board before, interest will quickly die offMain Page.:This is a wiki from and for 4chan; if you don't like 4chan, sorry, but I don't see it changing any time soon. --[[User:SonofUglyRandname|SonofUglyRandname]] ([[User talk:SonofUglyRandname|talk]]) 2102:0110, 27 April 2015 16 June 2023 (EDTUTC)

== Put "General Emulation" section first ==I think case-insensitive search should get implemented here. Considering that emulator names recommend you put the "General Emulation" section to top as opposed to having these sections in alphabetical order since I believe "General Emulation" contains devices and systems much more people care about and are often a bit of a mess of letters interested in different cases and sometimes spelling there isn't even standardized clearly, this is a necessary change.

:I'm thinking of something more tactful in theory. Think about how useful a phone number is to a hub relating to emulation and emulators; nobody's gonna be calling emu-devs for assistance... the open-source software often includes an anti-warranty bit saying creators are not obligated to help people if they have problems with the software. So why do we need phone numbers here anyways? Why not set up a bot or an extension that tracks this kind of activity, either revert if it's done on an existing page, or delete if it's the only revision, and then just block the IP or user indefinitely? Even if they create tons of sockpuppets or switch IP addresses, its of no advantage to them simply because the act of doing it would get them blocked. If there isn't something like that that currently exists elsewhere, then we may actually have a problem. Also, the captcha in place can easily be macro'd around since it only asks two questions. We really do need something more robust.

Feel free to discuss what you think, and I might come in terms to agree to get thoses lists removed. But my goal is also to provide a list of exclusive games or console exclusives, that are otherwise harder to be played as they require the original hardware, so emulation can be a good tool in those situations, as well because games that never got a PC port can receive better treatment such as resolution increase and better framerates, through emulation.

What I'd like to do is list platforms via icons instead of text, since it's more compact and arguably just as identifiable. That way we can work the logos of each icon into emulator articles with download links. For example, the Windows logo for Windows, Tux's head for Linux, the Apple logo for macOS. The column would be the same but we could probably put Android and iOS in the same rows since it won't take up as much space. Some projects already use a similar approachcenter; RetroArch's download page uses logos for each platform along with their names, and the Official Minecraft wiki uses this in their infoboxes for each version of the game. I'd also like to keep the icons as a uniform color (like black), but that might cause problems with custom dark themes that work via CSS. -[[User:FosterHaven|FosterHaven]] ([[User talk:FosterHaven|talk]]) 21:08, 25 December 2019 (CET) ::Only thing about this is I think the icons should be pretty small so it doesn't increase the table's size too much, x20px [[File:N64_logo.png|x20px]] wouldn't change the table at all but that's probably too small, maybe x32px [[File:N64_logo.png|x32px]] would be good instead. Also it should be up to the theme makers to account for changing icons to fit their themes (and small things like that are can be added as base64 strings right into the css). Although I'm not sure a single colored icon that small will be identifiable enough (there's more than 20 platforms listed, plus just distinguishing different Windows version's logos, or Xbox/360/One logos), more colors would definitely help in that regard. -[[User:SonofUgly|SonofUgly]] ([[User talk:SonofUgly|talk]]) 06:06, 27 December 2019 (CET) :::I guess that concern's overblown.
