(Off-topic) \______ The 'Apply to Resign from Moderator Section'—this 'apply' definitely doesn't just mean 'apply to be a moderator,' right? It should also carry the sense of 'apply to open a new section,' right? When I first saw the section for applying to resign from the moderator post, I thought this, and I still think so now. \_____ Because the forum has been running as usual lately, I have temporarily put aside the mindset of 'prioritizing what I can do in the forum first' and slowed down. This has given me time to revisit some previously shelved matters. Consequently, the GBA game issue that has been confusing me for a long time resurfaced, and I went on a 'hunt' both inside and outside the site… and it still feels problematic. \_____ Let's start with outside the site. Without a doubt, Baidu can only help you find someone else's 'window' to 'peek' through; if you actually want to get the things inside? Sorry, the 'owner' of this place doesn't consider you a 'friend' they know… And this is the most prominent problem. Of course, there is also the issue that mobile users face: resources that can only be downloaded on a computer… You shouldn't always tell all mobile users: dear, want to download a console game? Use a computer… Because the reason for always using a phone isn't that you are a ridiculous 'computer idiot,' nor a mere 'phone addict,' but very likely: 'I'm just a broke guy and only have a phone…' So looking for things outside the site is not really practical… \_____ In this way, perhaps many fellow members of 7723 would think the same: going outside the site is troublesome, so it's better to find it directly within the site—fast, convenient, and enjoying 7723's extensive resource bonus, how great is that. Of course, someone might say, the site already has resources, both on the homepage and the forums… However, for that problem, one should also ask: the homepage search exists, but the update time only goes up to 2009, and are you sure those are really comprehensive resources?So it should be transferred to the forum, but another problem arose. The forum posts are numerous, making it impossible to flip through posts to find resources (resource posts are still scattered across various sections). Then we use the search function. Yes, the search is very useful, but once you find the resources and want to download them, you still need to test them. The browser is running in the background, but when testing games, it often consumes a lot of memory, which may lead to 'out of memory' and 'push out' your browser. After finishing the test, if you want to download again, you have to reopen the browser. Although there is convenient history, if you reload the search function, you have to search all over again… Therefore, all sorts of troubles arise. Originally it was just 'I just want to play the game,' but it turns into a series of twists and disappointments, and the initial enthusiasm can be worn down by the setbacks.
_____ In fact, all that was listed before has a clear purpose: 7723 needs a section for emulator games and save files, and emulator games and save file sections are necessary.\_____ There are resources on the site. If official updates are no longer possible, members can still provide more resources; the forum already has resources, but they are too scattered. Establishing dedicated sections provides a place to better categorize resources, allowing reorganization and saving the hassle of frequent searches. At the same time, 7723 indeed has a considerable community of people who play emulator games, represented by GBA. If 7723 creates emulator game and save file sections, it can not only further consolidate the member community, allowing members to feel more directly the greater benefits available on 7723, but also, having a solid and comprehensive emulator game and save file section will undoubtedly expand 7723's influence further and attract more popularity! (After a certain site on the internet was acquired by UC, the large community of mobile players lacked a stable way to find emulator games. Many resources on Baidu still require logging into the desktop site...)
_____ 7723 already has the conditions and history of publishing emulator games, so why not set up such related sections to enhance the level of '7723 as a professional gaming site' and aim for greater development?\— — — — —\ The post is only a proposal; Xiaoji is not forcing the establishment. It's just an honest feeling: having such sections would indeed help many people.\It's okay if the post is ignored. Using grammar even earlier than the 'Chen Ou style': regardless of whether it receives support or not, and regardless of whether it gets a response, the post is here, existing as a proposal, as an application.\Below is also a poll survey on friends' positions regarding the application to establish a simulator game save version section.
〖Application to establish a new version area〗I hope 7723 will also formally establish the simulator game and archive area involved.

To like-minded friends: I really hope there could be such a forum section, but it would still require sending private messages to the webmaster by multiple people to show sincerity.
To the friends who oppose: thank you for participating, and I hope you can leave your opposing opinions. But the final decision still needs to be made by the site owner.
.....(Thoughts in my mind: Seems feasible... In this way, this area can be made shallow and have a place to play around.....)
Uh, although this is an application post, it also kind of includes my own conclusions drawn from a small survey about emulator games online and on forums.
Universal jar-format game saves: Use one-click save embedding to handle the game, you can upload game saves, and the maximum size of a game save is 30K. As long as the other party downloads the save and installs the game processed with one-click save embedding, once loaded, they can continue playing from someone else's save. (There's potential! Give it some support)
Not necessary, the Temple of Heaven has never been open, it's all in the game area. You can just release the simulator game in the Android or Symbian section. As for modding save files, very few people do it, and it's easier on a computer. Modding it yourself with Cheat Engine is a real pain. For games like Yu-Gi-Oh, you can just use GameGuardian to modify them directly; there's no need to mod the save files.
Huangfu… my 5233, after using the emulator, if I also open Game Guardian, sometimes it crashes the emulator as soon as I modify something… even if the modification succeeds, if the data amount is large, I've tried it on my phone many times, and it results in screen glitches and reboots… and many people only know how to modify proprietary numerical data, and don't understand how to modify other things like bar-type health. (That's exactly who I am…)
Using the version three emulator with a virtual keyboard, the E66 has never lagged when playing GBA games.
Agreed, the hotter the better! But I wonder if this will offend the leader, making it hard to get along here from now on?
