Doesn't appear to meet WP:NSOFTWARE. Red Phoenix: converted this into a redirect a few years ago for that reason, but the article was restored due to a good faith disagreement, and for that reason I didn't just restore the redirect. I'm not sure whether this should be deleted or the redirect restored. Adam9007 (talk) 22:26, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, but migrate what's possible to list of video game emulators. By the way, what's the procedure for dealing with articles on historical software? This is not mainstream, but was a immense part of the Genesis/Mega Drive emulation scene some years ago. Do obsolete software simply become uncyclopedic? Are we taking notability to be about current software only? This is the kind of stuff I wish Wikipedia was more inclusive about. — LucasVB | Talk 22:30, 26 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
