Forum Cleanup

[_Zack_]

Now I'm not demanding or saying that having these forums is a bad thing in any way shape or form. But i do believe we could remove/archive them and add a few forums for active & newer emulators in its place.

Here are my suggestions for new forums :

1) Nosgba forum. Ideas has its own so why not nosgba?

2) Nulldc forum. I know the official forum is at ngemu, but a unofficial one wouldn't hurt.

3) Texture pack forum. on the main page and not in a subforum. I believe its proven popular enough for it.

Here are my suggestions for forums to be removed/archived :

1) A.I. - Ask Imabot. Its been over 2 years since it was used and i firmly believe this is the no1 candidate for removal/archiving.

2) IRC Quotes. Hasn't been posted on for 9 months, and really i believe posting the odd irc quotes in the talk of the town section is more than adequate for the amount of times it happens (little)

3) The UltraHLE 2064, SupraHLE, UltraHLE Alpha, Fake64, TR64, eVoodoo, nSX2, Dreamemu, NesterDC forums need removing/archiving. really, to my knowledge all these emulators (and one plugin) are DEAD. The only posts (which happen about 2 times a year) are from newbies to the scene who don't know that they are old emulators and faster and more compatible ones exist. I really believe they should be removed/archived as there really isn't much point in them being there anymore. (no offense)

So there my opinions, let me know if you agree or disagree with them

People still use these emulators. ePSXe is dead and it's used by a lot of people.

ePSXe is more or less an exception because it emulates the PSX really well. Put that into context with the other emulators zion mentioned.

the other emulators have been long since surpassed in their respective emulation fields, but ePSXe is still a viable option despite the existence of pSX, SSSPSX, and PSXeven (ironically, only ePSXe and pSX seems to be the ones that the general public not familiar with "the scene" have any knowledge about).

Maybe so , but why on earth would you use ultra hle which has a lot of gfx issues and poor compatibility when you could use project64 or 1964 which have great compatibility and near flawless gfx?

I see your point but it isnt really a vaild reason not to remove/archive the forums.

Put it like this : Would you drive a hyundai when you could have a porche?

Ok, it means emutalk should remove the Chankast section, since it will not be updated anymore and nullDC is extremely a lot better.

Project 64 is better than 1964. And you should use only the best emulator available? You domn't like the emulators from other people?

Put it like this : Would you drive a hyundai when you could have a porche?

Yes, because I'm a hyundai fan.

I think 99.9% of people on this earth would rather use the best of the best rather than second best.

In terms of emulators, why on earth would you use a emulator that doesnt work as well as a different one. It makes no logical sense

Yes, because I'm a hyundai fan.

LOL, id love to see you take a hyundai over a porche if they were both offered to you for free

No, since Chankast still does some things better than nullDC, and both boot and run games quite well. Again, Chankast is still a viable option for some games.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against old emulators or keeping their forum sections on EmuTalk. I'm just naturally curious about what makes you say that there are still people who use the old emulators zion mentioned. Actively using emulators like UltraHLE or TR64 over, say Project64 or 1964 no less? Or just tinkering with them because of nostalgia and the so-called "good old days"?

Which way of using an emulator are you referring to?

[Doomulation]

Well, maybe some forums like uhle could be removed without problems, since not many are posting anything there, plus the projects seems kind of dead and not much news about it. There's nothing wrong with removing those sections, seeing as there's a general n64 emu forum where it can be discussed instead.

Exactly.

[JKKDARK]

No, since Chankast still does some things better than nullDC.

What things? I still didn't notice anything better on Chankast.
