→Assumption of "Computers" category?: new section
:::Wouldn't it be better to replace that Russian news feed with something else like an EmuCR one? The Russian one is hardly up to date with current releases like PPSSPP 0.9.9 for example, may emuCR would be to spammy with all the dev builds? -- [[User:Special|Special]]
::::EmuCR posts mostly for dev builds, so it'd be pretty cluttered. To be honest it's the best one I've seen at least (and this is a discussion that happened [http://emulation-general.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Emulation_General_Wiki#News on the old Wikia]).

== Assumption of "Computers" category? ==
There's a list under a "Computers" category. Perhaps this is known, '''but all video game consoles are computers.''' A 1978 calculator is a computer. The TVs that your parents watched when they were kids were computers(most likely). I think this is kind of differentiating people's ideas of what "computer" means, and is not a good way to describe "non-gaming purpose" computers.
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!'"
Perhaps I should give some better replacements:
"Non-gaming computer emulators",
"Emulators for non-consoles",
"Old system emulators", or
"Emulators for non-game consoles".
