I have been getting into emulation though there is no emulation community here to talk about it. I assume emulation discussion in gaming is welcome any thoughts?

Welcome! Emulation is probably my favorite method of gaming nowadays, giving me access to most of the classics of gaming from over 20 years of history all at once. If you have a decent computer you get get everything up to the PS3 generation easily, and a less powerful one or a phone can go up to the PS2 or PS1 gens, still giving you plenty of gaming options. I have found so many games and genres I would normally not get into, by trying them out via emulation. Arcade games, especially. I love arcade shmups of the 90's and early 2000s.

there is an emulation community on lemmy.ml and another at lemmy.world but I would understand if you don't want to interact with those. I am kinda surprised dbzer0 doesn't have one.

Well we don't "pre-open" the communities😅 . The hope is that emulation enthusiasts would naturally realize our instance is the best fit for that sort of thing.

Hm. Maybe I'll do it, then. Don't know if I got the patience to admin a community but I am an emulation enthusiast.

Awesome, If you decide to make a community I will definitely be interested in joining!

Thanks I did do a bit of playstation emulation a few years ago but pcsx2 was a lot less stable back then.
