Why are they missing in the list? [[Special:Contributions/79.201.163.253|79.201.163.253]] ([[User talk:79.201.163.253|talk]]) 22:41, 27 August 2023 (UTC) |

Add "GPCS4" and "Orbital" emulators on the Playstation 4 list. These emulators are still in development but its confirmed that they can run some games. |
|||
:This is a list of Emulators with corresponding Wikipedia articles. If you are aware of any Wikipedia articles which exist but aren't linked here, feel free to add them. [[User:MrOllie|MrOllie]] ([[User talk:MrOllie|talk]]) 23:15, 27 August 2023 (UTC) |

:We only link to emulators with articles on Wikipedia, and articles require significant coverage of the subject in reliable, third-party published sources. I looked for coverage of GPCS4 and Orbital and I didn't find anything significant at all. With any luck, they'll get covered one day, someone will write the articles, and then we can link them here. As for the "PCSX4 is a scam" message, it's the same size as all of the other non-header text in the article. [[User:Woodroar|Woodroar]] ([[User talk:Woodroar|talk]]) 01:22, 12 January 2021 (UTC) |

A relatively recent open source PlayStation 1 emulator made with contemporary techniques, focused on being reasonably accurate without sacrificing much performance please add Duckstation on PlayStation 1 list [[User:AMPLECONCH|AMPLECONCH]] ([[User talk:AMPLECONCH|talk]]) 05:50, 28 January 2024 (UTC) |
|||
At a glance the header text |
|||
<blockquote> |
|||
"This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources." |
|||
</blockquote> |
|||
suggests (To me at least) that emulators may be added here, provided one has a source to indicate it is notable enough (Not necessarily notable enough for a full article, but perhaps notable enough to be listed). This is different from what I interpret to be the current consensus on the article, which seems to indicate that '''only''' emulators with (English) Wikipedia articles may be added. If this is indeed the case, perhaps it would be prudent to change this header from a template to a custom message to indicate that this is instead a list of emulators with Wikipedia pages? Removing this invitation to add to an essentially completed list might reduce the numbers of well intentioned editors trying to add entries which would simply be reverted. --[[User:Mbrickn|Mbrickn]] ([[User talk:Mbrickn|talk]]) 05:36, 29 July 2021 (UTC) |

:Good idea, and I'm on board with changing it. I do feel like coverage is different than it was a decade ago. It wasn't unusual for a subject to get significant coverage in a single source, enough to justify a mention but not enough to pass GNG. But now it's either all or nothing. I don't know if that's true or just how I see it, of course. [[User:Woodroar|Woodroar]] ([[User talk:Woodroar|talk]]) 12:17, 29 July 2021 (UTC) |

:This list article only includes emulators that [[WP:N|meet our notability requirements]] and have articles on Wikipedia. I briefly searched for Duckstation and was only able to find [https://www.gamesradar.com/the-best-ps1-emulator-now-has-better-online-multiplayer-than-most-modern-games/ this short article]. If Duckstation gets [[WP:SIGCOV|significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources]], I'm sure someone will create the article and we can link it here.

There's a PS4 emulator called spine. It's got sourcing from Kotaku<ref>{{cite news |last1=Jiang |first1=Sisi |title=PS4 Finally Gets A Working Emulator Eight Years Later |url=https://kotaku.com/ps4-finally-gets-a-working-emulator-8-years-later-1847651649 |work=Kotaku |date=10 September 2021}}</ref> but it may be better to wait until more sources pop up since it needs its own page. |

The Wikipedia page for the Nintendo Switch emulator, Ryujinx (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryujinx), should be added to the Nintendo Switch section in the Hybrid Console category. [[User:Gm1224|Gm1224]] ([[User talk:Gm1224|talk]]) 05:19, 22 February 2024 (UTC) |

== October 8 edits == |

[[User:Bawanio]], I have reverted your edits again. Per prior consensus, we only mention emulators that are notable; that is, emulators that have pre-existing articles and meet [[WP:GNG|our general notability guidelines]]. Your restructuring is also unhelpful to readers, in my opinion. The size difference between, for example, "Nintendo" and "Home consoles" and "Nintendo Entertainment System" is minimal, which makes it difficult to follow the nested headings. If you disagree, that's fine, but you need to build consensus for your version rather than simply editing again. |
|||
This revert also includes removing/reverting a link to the Emulation General Wiki. Per [[WP:ELNO]] #12, we generally avoid links to open wikis. [[User:Woodroar|Woodroar]] ([[User talk:Woodroar|talk]]) 21:06, 9 October 2022 (UTC) |

:Hey - do we need to keep some obviously notable emulators (ie [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVDCPUczUiM Xenia] & [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfnbmXgLkzU Xemu]) off the list, though? I mean there are demonstrable examples of emulators working in action. It's obviously present, and known to thousands of people with dozens of videos showing it in action. That makes it noteworthy, in my opinion. [[User:GeneralHamster|GeneralHamster]] ([[User talk:GeneralHamster|talk]]) 22:45, 2 December 2022 (UTC) |

::We had an article on Xenia [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Xenia (emulator)|but it was deleted]] and a [[Draft:Xemu (emulator)|draft for an article on Xemu was created]] but it hasn't met our requirements to become an actual article. Wikipedia is a [[WP:TERTIARY|tertiary source]], which means we're a summary of what reliable sources say. Unfortunately, reputable sources haven't covered these emulators in much depth, which is a sure sign that it's too soon for us to include them here.

I included DOSBox and added this to the lead: "The list also includes hardware/OS virtualization software focusing on game compatibility, for example [[DOSBox]]<ref>{{cite web |title=DOSBox, an x86 emulator with DOS |url=https://www.dosbox.com/comp_list.php?letter=a |website=www.dosbox.com}}</ref> that emulates the [[MS-DOS]] operating system, and [[Fellow (emulator)|Fellow]], [[UAE (emulator)|UAE]], that emulates the Commodore [[Amiga]] PC computer platform." |
