= The EmuWiki.com complete emulator collection v0.2 =
This is a collection of all the emulators that were uploaded during the last year and a half to EmuWiki.com . Our goal is to collect and document all emulators that have ever existed, so this small collection is just a beginning. This is the second release. Last release had roughly about 3000 emulators; this one contains 6238 emulators, making it the biggest collection of emulators ever published in a torrent, again. These emulators run on 52 different machines (Nintendo DS, Windows, Mac, Linux, etc...). They emulate 217 types of console/computers/calculators. These .zip, .txt and .exe come from the past and show us the path we've taken. They are part of our heritage. These works deserve to be preserved as much as any painting / old movie deserves to be put in a museum. We ask the emulation community to download this torrent as much as possible, and to keep copies of it everywhere around the world.
= Current state of the collection =
We're still waiting for more people to jump aboard and help us complete the collection. We usually have 1 version of each emulator we could find, but in some cases we have the complete collection including alpha releases, internal builds, etc... If you are interested in contributing to the next release by finding emulators and adding them to the encyclopedia, visit emuwiki.com.
= Who should download this =
If your goal is to emulate Playstation on your PC, downloading this torrent might not be the most efficient way of doing it. Instead you can just go to an emulation website and download the emulator you want. This is a collection, for collectors.
= Files removed =
At EmuWiki.com, we do not accept hacked/cracked version of commercial emulators, so everything included in this torrent is legal. Furthermore, to comply with Underground-gamer rules, we removed about 400 files that emulated the non-safe consoles (Nintendo DS, Xbox, etc...). You can always obtain these emulators directly at the encyclopedia.
= Organisation =
All the files are put in a directory and are named the way they were named when we obtained them. Some files have the same name, so we added --xxx after the filename so that they can be contained in a single directory without erasing each other. These additions can eventually be removed from the filename by searchnig for '--' if you want to recover the original filenames. An excel file and a .txt database is included, containing : the filename, the name of the emulator, the version, the type of package, the date it was released, the machine emulated, the machine on which it runs (ex : Windows), and the OS for which it was made (ex : Windows 98, XP, etc...). The excel file allows you to classify the emulators by date, by name, by host machine, etc...
