A suggestion for Jackos / my 2 cents http://i== New main page ==I've been thinking about remaking the main page.imgur.com/MU5VyUe.png Center the I'Welcome Intro' and move the threads ll probably create a separate WIP page to test itout.There's own little box, and anyway mainly two reasons:* Make it easier to contribute to remove all those individual 'Edit' links? the wiki -this might be things like highlighting high priority tasks on the main page* Different layout of emulators - [[User:Special|Special]]: I removed the edit links.

== Assumption of "Computers" category? Data Loss (2021-07-03) ==Yesterday on the 2nd the wiki's database got corrupted, and I was unable to restore it. Due to an issue with mySQL logging, the server's drive was also completely full so backups of the database weren't being made. Because of these issues I've had to roll the wiki back to the most recent offline backup I had, which unfortunately is 6 months old. So to everyone who made edits in the past 6 months, I'm very sorry, I've lost those contributions.
ThereI believe I've fixed the issue with mySQL, and will be checking the server's status and making offline backups more regularly, as well as using a list under a "Computers" category. Perhaps this is known, service to backup the server'''but all video game consoles are computerss instance in full.''' A 1978 calculator is a computer. The TVs that your parents watched when they were kids were computers--[[User:SonofUgly|SonofUgly]] (most likely[[User talk:SonofUgly|talk]]). I think this is kind of differentiating people's ideas of what "computer" means22:18, and is not a good way to describe "non-gaming purpose" computers.3 July 2021 (UTC)
This, I feel, further dumbs down the general populations' knowledge of technology by calling 'X' a computer, but then telling them their smartphone or such is a "phone, not a 'PC/computer!'" == TODO lists for each page? ==
Perhaps I should give some better replacements:think it'd be a good idea to add TODO lists to the talk pages of each console page. It'd help us keep track of things like which emulators need to be tested and added.
"Non-gaming computer emulators"Side note,is there a way we can test the accuracy of NES and FDS emulation? Like determine if accuracy is low, midrange, high, or cycle accurate? ~Charlie [[User:OrphanedPixel|OrphanedPixel]] ([[User talk:OrphanedPixel|talk]]) 20:05, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

"Old system emulators", or== iOS and touchHLE ==
"Emulators for nonShould we get rid of iOS’s &amp;Dagger;? 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-game consoles"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.

:Seems pedantic.

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) {| style="width:100%; background:#E0F7FA; margin-top: 0.6em; border:1px solid #00BCD4; border-collapse: collapse;"| style="width:100%; color:#000;" |<!-- "WELCOME TO EMUGEN" AND ARTICLE COUNT -->{| style="width: 100%; border:none; background:none;"| style="text-align:center; color:#03A9F4;" |<div style="font-size:2em; border:none; padding:.1em; color:#009688;">Welcome to the Emulation General Wiki</div><div style="top:+0.2em; font-size:1em;">The wiki dedicated to all things emulation.</div><div id="articlecount" style="width:100%; text-align:center; font-size:1em;">There are <span style="font-size:1.6em"><b><i>[[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]]</i></b></span> articles already.
