| − | The table we used in table and frontend, can it not been used in the emulator page as well? Like this?
| + | #REDIRECT [[Talk:Classic Consoles]] |
| − | | |
| − | This page contains brief descriptions of various emulators for each console. If more information is needed for a particular emulator, an individual page will be created.

| − | We should only list machines and emulator, that can fit into a cabinet. Otherwice there are other page, that are lots better doing that (like Zophar). [[user:Spacefractal|Spacefractal]]

| − | I like that, it give a nice overview of consoles and direct information. The emulator page should ''always'' point to a page in this wiki, in my opinion, there is most certainly cab related info for each emulator (perhaps have links to front-ends that support this emulator etc.)

| − | You are right about the emulator page. on these page, we could link to the officiel page, wrappers, hacked versions of a emulator, so it can get this to work on a cab.

| − | Hmm, not really sure, I do like the one-cell-per-brand option you suggested. I'm not sure if the table would still work if -for example- Atari 7800 has three of four emulators; would the lines still match?

| − | It better. We should only show emulators, that CAN been run from command line, or use of a wrapper.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Some machines have a lots of emulatos, like NES (there are bunch of emulators to this machine). It may been stupid to list them there. But it could been showed in the indept page instead (like the frontend and jukebox section), and maybe some heklp how to intall and config to a arcadecab (like links to wrappes). It even better show emulators in the indepth page, so it can link emulators to linux and dos too (as long these are cabfreidly).

| |
| − | Hmm, as long as the machine's pages (like [[3DO_Interactive_Multiplayer]]) don't become a wikipedia article about the console but has a strick structure on what topics are suitable and what topics are not, then I'm fine with it. Perhaps it is better to move the wikipedia link to that page so it is less tempting to put machine specs on the console's page?
| |
| − | It still would like to include a column with cabfriendly emulators since that is what the page is about. Indeed the NES has (too) many emulators to list, but some are notable and useable for cabinets so the list can be short (say up to max 4 emulators per console).
