Revision as of 20:00, 1 July 2006
I think without video cards or onboard video, there wouldn't BE any video going to any of the other options. My feeling is that video cards/onboard video should come first, with the physical screen type they will be viewed on second.
I also like moving the ArcadeVGA to the video cards section
Contents
Toned down the contents page
The contents page will get more topics as the Wiki expands. The keyboard encoder section for example eats up a lot of space and consists largely out of productcodes. As the Wiki gets bigger it is impossible to list all subsections of articles on the contents page. If a section would require mention on the contents page, the section should probably have its' own article then. I removed those entries if people object, please discuss here first. Remember that we can put those back in at any time we wish. Felsir 02:22, 8 March 2006 (EST)
- Instead of removing I commented them out ( < ! --- tags ). Makes it easier to revert. Anyway, if we decide to keep the page like this I will remove the commented parts. Felsir 02:30, 8 March 2006 (EST)
Toning down further?
Contents page still seems unwieldy to me. Maybe it's time to kill all the direct links to sub-secions, and instead have the primary sections link to their own contents page. A quick descriptive paragraph for primary section should still be included on the main Contents page. Anyone agree, disagree? Anyone else even reading the talk pages?

Software Section
The Emulator section is not listed. It seems to me that Arcade Emulators, Game Consoles, Handheld consoles, and Home Computers should be under the emulator section of Software, as they are directed at the emulators to run those systems, and the remaining TV Games sections should be elsewhere, like:
Software
Other Systems

Im not agree.
I moved them OUT from emulation, because they have listed ALL consoles that is on market (even some, that is not in the market yet). The main reason is, some/many users use never (and sometimes old) consoles, like Xbox, PS2 and Dreamcast as a base on thier cab. This is nothing about emulation to due, wich is why I moved them out from emulation section.
But instead...
you can made a brief destription about System Emulators (what they does), and link to thier subpages from other pages.
Software
Other Systems
This would been fine (or what you would call instead System Emulators).
The Kremmit comments is now oldm and the article was really odd.
--Spacefractal 22:37, 20 May 2006 (EDT)
That would be fine, but then these pages become generic system information, shouldn't the emulators information be removed from those pages, and instead, link to the System Emulators page? And if they are generic system information, I don't think the 'Other Systems' title is correct, since the only heading above it is Software. Maybe just 'Systems' or 'System Information'. In this case, we can add generic Arcade information, like is listed at [System16]
--Liquid8 19:03, 20 May 2006 (EDT)
I have moved the content around. I hope this one destript better. System & Emulators now have it own section, and software do do no cover all other than emulators (frontend, jukebox and so on).
--Spacefractal 09:08, 21 May 2006 (EDT)
I like that layout, except for one thing, the Arcade_Emulators redirects to Arcade_Systems. Should the arcade systems be laid out with the table, with arcade companies and specific boards and information, like the other system sections are?
And then we could have seperate pages for the systems that lists all emulators, so it would end up being:
Systems & Emulators
--Liquid8 12:38, 21 May 2006 (EDT)
You allready list the best arcade friedly allready for all systems (some is still missing). There are no mean to list them twice (in both Game Console Emulators AND Game Consoles). This feel stupid. Game Consoles is allready cover the best cabfreidly emulators aviable.
For arcade systems, it may been arcade emulators instead? Otherwice it would been very big page, and is too hard to mainstream, if we should list ALL systems. Here is a lots better to list the emulators here, what they does, and what boards they actuelly emulates, and total of games run (but it using the table again, like all others).
--Spacefractal 14:55, 21 May 2006 (EDT)
Systems & Emulators
maybe? System Emulators could cover bios roms and so on, what a typical systems may need.
Sorry to forgot to add my sig
--Spacefractal 15:03, 21 May 2006 (EDT)
I agree with that.
--Liquid8 15:57, 21 May 2006 (EDT)
Just changed the contect. System Emulators may need to been updated (moved from emulators).

NOTE about the articles below in recent changes.
Examples
All articles in the recent changes, that from this article and down to Arcade music box 2 is all dubblets. This is why I added {{delete}, so they can been deleted too.
