    Default Changes in the emulation section

    These were in effect before but with the loss of forum it needed to be redone, I've done the 4 main ones. I think there were two more, in fact yes (just remembered) there was Handheld emulation and arcade, seeing as there were not as many arcade qs, I might leave that and just put in the handheld one, this is just a feedback thread, I'll sticky it for a week and look for suggestions from you good people

    What Banned is saying is that the Arcade Emulation subforum still needs to be added.

    Also, I noticed 2 typos:

    Handheld Emuation -- should be Emulation
    And PSX emulation -- Capital "E" in Emulation

    Hmm okies, ta, I'll tend to the typos now.

    As for the arcade emulation, were there really enough threads to warrant a section of its own?

    I don't know what you would use to say what warrants a section, but as of Dec., it had 48 threads.

    I know this is a double post but it is relevant (will delete other post after ) but I am wondering whether or not to put a general sticky in the saturn and Arcade section like segnin has doen regarding the other sections (props to him for that ) because I could probably compile a good amount of info needed for someone to get started on either. (Napping now then got aikido practice but will get on it when I get back )

    Yeah, definitely it would be a good idea, Theo

    I would have written general guides for Saturn and Arcade, but my comp is too old to run the best emulators for those 2, so I don't know too much about them.

    Figured it would be best to leave those 2 to someone more qualified. (i.e.: someone with a decent comp)

    Well I've put up a basic Saturn sticky, though I think that I will need to improve on it a LOOTTTT!

    lol, if truth be told I would love to put up a section for each type of console but that would be insane IMO. I would like to however put up a "recent or new Emulators" thread sticky it just for any new news regarding Emulation

    How about doing it as

    • Sega emulation on computer systems
      Covers emulation of all Sega systems on computer systems

    • Nintendo emulation on computer systems
      Covers emulation of all Nintendo systems on computer systems

    • Sony emulation on computer systems
      Covers emulation of all Sony systems on computer systems

    • Arcade emulation on computer systems
      Covers emulation of all Arcade systems on computer systems

    • Emulation on Sega systems
      Covers emulation made to run on Sega systems

    • Emulation on Nintendo systems
      Covers emulation made to run on Nintendo systems

    • Emulation on Sony systems
      Covers emulation made to run on Sony systems

    • Emulation on Microsoft systems
      Covers emulation made to run on Microsoft systems


    Handheld isn't realy needed that can go in by company aswell, e.g. GBA would go in the Nintendo section

    Doing it this way, also covers new system that may arise in the future

    There are more system companies aswell but that would cover most

    Also this will ensure that the sections are used more often aswell as more individual games systems can fit into each section

    The emulation on console systems will also help stop any confusion when talking about emulation on a console instead of, of a console

    just to upset Theo's after the work done already don't worry if it's all agreed I'll do the changes.

    You might want to fix that.

    I think you're going to more trouble than necessary.
    There's hardly ever any confusion about whether someone means emulating something on a computer or emulating something on a console/handheld.

    The current system is organized enough, and works just fine.

    Seen it plenty myself, just laugh it off though, but only because personly I know beter and have often corrected those that have made that mistake.

    After re setting up the Emulation Related downloads this would be childs play, it would be no trouble at all

    Maybe the seperate emulation on console sections wouldn't be needed but rest would make more sense both in the short and long term

    Less sections, more use.

    This might work (maybe word it better to make it more clear?)

    # Sega emulation on computer systems
    Covers emulation of all Sega systems on computer systems

    # Nintendo emulation on computer systems
    Covers emulation of all Nintendo systems on computer systems

    # Sony emulation on computer systems
    Covers emulation of all Sony systems on computer systems

    # Arcade emulation on computer systems
    Covers emulation of all Arcade systems on computer systems

    # Emulation on consoles
    Covers emulation of all systems on consoles

    # Emulation on handhelds
    Covers emulation of all systems on handhelds

    Yeah wording would need to be fixed to include emulation on Sega Nintendo and Sony systems if you axed Emulation on consoles but otherwise I don't see what wrong with the wording... maybe:

    • Sega systems emulated on computer systems
      Covers emulation of all Sega systems emulated ran on computer systems

    • Emulation on console systems
      Covers emulation of all systems ran on console systems


    I avoided using the word PC as computer systems tends to cover a wider range as in Mac IBM compats and other OS systems such as Linux, but PC is usually taken as IBM compats using a Windows OS even though that all are actually PC's.

    Perhaps adding a subforum for every console system (emulation on Sega, Nintendo, Sony..) would be too much, I like much more the idea of having only one subforum for emulation on console systems.
