I added a section on the Amiga Transformer, an early software-based PC emulator for the Amiga. I gave it its own section to seperate it from the emulators which used PC hardware boards. If other people want to add more software-based emulators, the section could be renamed something like "software-based emulation".--66.162.55.2 21:16, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

de-proding on the basis was originally a split from Amiga and this is a candid for merge to Amiga emulation (albeit may take effort to do a quality non trivial merge to that article ... I'd love to do sometime (maybe 5 years time!) but not a priority. Additionally creator and possibly others who was active until recently seem not to have been informed. Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 09:26, 11 September 2018 (UTC) Actually also ... rightly or wrongly ... its classified as mid-importance to the Amiga Project.Djm-leighpark (talk) 09:27, 11 September 2018 (UTC) (Okay that project is defunct).Djm-leighpark (talk) 09:28, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are many articles in Amiga magazines about "Emulation on Amiga" topic, some of the emulators are even notable enough for their own article (eg. ShapeShifter, PCTask/PCx, Bridgeboard). Notability should be no problem here. However, the article is horrible and requires rewrite (citation needed everywhere, some claims are plausible, other not). I may provide sources, if anybody is interested. I would attempt a rewrite myself, but my time and English language skills are rather limited. Pavlor (talk) 09:45, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion Sources are always useful for anyone picking this up, and reviews in magazines (especially if involves a test (not simply reading the documentation or from a press release) and actual usage by the author). Placing them on talk page is sufficient. If Template:Cite magazine look too difficult simply note magazine(name of magazine),authors,date(of publication),title(of magazine article), publisher. Please identify volume, issue and page numbers if possible. If the article is online the url is useful, but so much better if it is one saved at wayback.org (The wayback machine). Your also welcome to have a go at improving a section and people will try to help, or ask for a little help at the Teahouse. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 13:04, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
