Emulators' disucssion at the Helsinki Assembly
KEEP organised a panel discussion at the ASSEMBLY Computer Festival in Helsinki on 8th August 2009.
The "Emulation as preserving strategy. The European Research Project KEEP discusses with emulation programmers" panel discussion raised great interest.
Description:
Since more than a decade emulators are used broadly specially within the gamer community to access old games independently from their original hardware. For the first time an European research project is focusing this development and achievements and try to establish emulators as a long term preservation strategy even in the institutional memory sector.
The meeting had three aims:
- To promote KEEP and raise awareness about the preservation issue to the target group of emulator users, demo programmers, gamers, and professionals, who attended the Assembly conference
- To discuss publicly the KEEP approach with protagonists from the emulation community
- To establish a trustworthy base with important emulation projects and KEEP to lay ground for further collaboration
