The voting has ended and it's time to announce the Top 100 Emulators of All Time!
First, we'd like to thank the almost 1100 of you that voted.
Without your opinions none of this would've been possible.
And if you didn't get the chance to vote, don't worry; round two begins in August.
Summary of how the voting was scored:
- Not all emulators were represented by this vote: only the ones we felt had a chance at being commonly voted for as someone's top 25. This is why few minor systems and no PDA emulators were on the ballot.
- Everyone was allowed to vote for thier top 25 emulators*, arranging them in order from best to worst.
- The best emulators received the most points, from 25 points for a #1 vote to 1 for a #25 positioning.
- Emulation Camp staff had the option to arrange all 157, so their #1 votes were worth 157 points.
* WINE was allowed on to the ballot even though its qualifications as an emulator are in the gray area.
