Description
EmuWiki.com is an encyclopedia about emulation. Emulation consists in making software that can act like old hardware. Most of the time, emulators are for old game fans that want to replay those old classics on new computers. EmuWiki.com, altough running on a true MediaWiki engine, has been modified extensively in terms of esthetism and addition of extensions. One good example of the way EmuWiki.com uses MediaWiki extensions is their news, videos, websites, and emulebrities sections, which all contain DPL tables to which users can add directly entries using a Semantic Form, thus making the contribution of users even easier than the usual Mediawiki interface. Notice on the Video Page that embedded videos can be consulted directly thanks to a combination of the use of Expandable Tables, DPL, and EmbedVideo extensions. Additionnaly, any user can add a video, thanks to Semantic Forms extension. Altough the site is currently in pre-opening, it is already probably the biggest emulator database on the Internet.
