:As Kolano said in his edit, performance is not the goal of this wiki. The default settings are already the best balance of speed and compatibility, the wiki exists to help people know what those settings are and what they mean and to catalog problems. Users can break things on their own juuuust fine! While I'm at it, why did you place notes throughout the page? You aren't intending to have that in the live version are you? - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 17:11, 26 April 2015 (CEST) | :As Kolano said in his edit, performance is not the goal of this wiki.

::It's a WIP, or RIP really (revision in progress), that I will propose along with the other proposal I am working on. The goal is to make pages easier to read and to appeal to both audiences; people who want performance over emulation accuracy '''and''' people who want emulation accuracy over performance. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 22:14, 26 April 2015 (CEST) | ::It's a WIP, or RIP really (revision in progress), that I will propose along with the other proposal I am working on.

:::I think you are misunderstanding the approach the wiki is taking. Our job is not to balance speed and performance, but to inform the user of accuracy issues and problems and let them make their own decision on how to balance their own needs. This is the only way the wiki can remain objective - "balance" would vary depending on the user's system, the game and problem at hand, and their own personal opinion. If you make a post saying that a certain setup is the best balance, and I disagree with that, who's right? No one is! It's impossible to resolve, since it's all subjective. But if it's accuracy related, we can test it, confirm it, and apply it. By sticking to accuracy it gives us a reasonable way to make a reliable wiki, and the users can be informed about what a problem is, how to avoid it, and the costs it will take; allowing them to make their own decisions on whether those costs are worth it to them. - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 08:36, 29 April 2015 (CEST) | :::I think you are misunderstanding the approach the wiki is taking.

That said, we do try to inform them of the costs, especially if it is something nasty like Single Core. - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 08:36, 29 April 2015 (CEST) | ||
