Talk:Emulation
Discussion, ideas, brainstormings goes here
No hurry this rebuilding take days, weeks or more in the way i see, at this day (october 7 2017) the emulation frontpage and talk pages has been splitted and cleaned up completly, the reason for this carnage is because i think is better to start from scratch without any restriction in how are going to look and his purposes, there are a lot fo details needed to be mentioned but this is just an introductory explain of the discussion that goes under this line, feel free to join the party by giving your ideas and oppinions and help to solve the problems
Bringing back some moved texts
Probably there are lot of small sentences or sections that has been moved to the other pages... but could fit well here because are general concepts or could work as an introduction... the rule of gold now is this page is "noob oriented" and the others are "technically oriented", im not experienced in emulators so much to make this changes rewriting and moving texts back and forth and i fear to "break" something though--Sandungas (talk) 13:58, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
Wiki main page templates restructuring
I think we need a new template on main page for the game compatibility lists, right now are inside a "revere engineering" category and thats not right. Additionally we have the page OFW2CFW game compatibility list that doesnt fits in any other category... so in few words we need a {{Games}} template for the main page with his own category... or something like that (any idea is welcome)--Sandungas (talk) 13:58, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
