SketchCow: is there a term of art for Emularity-style emulation, as a counterpoint to emulation-as-a-service? |

Browser-Based is often used. I'd say "In-browser Emulation" gets closer to the core of it, but my non-native English is not quite sure where you stand on that hyphen. |
|

db48x |
zino: that hyphen is perfect |
|

|
Vito` |
yeah Google suggested in-browser emulation to me when I searched for browser-based emulation |
|
21:14

|

anyone know why azakai named emscripten, emscripten? |
|
21:18
🔗
|
zino |
Well, it makes C-ish things into ECMA-script, so there is play on words right there. |
|

zino |
(Only a guess) |

|
DFJustin |
nah it's tongue-in-cheeck bad english for "make something into a script" |
|

|
DFJustin |
compare "embiggen" from an episode of the simpsons |
|
21:54

|
zino |
That's a perfectly cromulent word! |
|
21:58
🔗
|

Yes, fairly sure it's a play off embiggen |
|

So, as you've by no doubt figured out by now - the field of video game preservation is kind of a mess, and we're one of the vanguards of it; we're literally in the elite corps of folks doing anything tangible. |
|
23:02

|
SketchCow |
(Sorry, got pulled away there.) |
|

🔗
|
SketchCow |
I am wondering if you mean video game HISTORY or in actual preservation of old video games. |
|
23:03
🔗
|
SketchCow |
Very few formal groups. Strong Museum of Play, UTexas, Stanford, etc. And almost all are interested or functioning in game as artifact. |

Attempts to gather interviews are almost always being done randomly. |
|

|
SketchCow |
As a result, Kevin Savetz' anthropological interviews stand as a massive set. |

I assume you're doing some sort of thing, based on your questions. |
|
23:24
🔗
|
Vito` |
SketchCow: yeah, just looking for names and institutions doing actual preservation, so I can see what they've published and where, so I can see if those places will accept a paper from me |
|
23:24

|
Vito` |
Not history, but archival/storage/emulation/presentation |

Stiletto in #archiveteam would be a good one to ask, I think there was an EU government thing but I forget the url |

23:29

|
Vito` |
yeah looking for an actual formal academic journal or conference proceeding to get something into |
|
23:29
🔗
|
Vito` |
figure they probably also publish in humanities things not just library science |
|
23:30
🔗
|
Vito` |
hence looking for people who would have published, so I can see where they've done so |
|
