The result was userfy to User:RaviC/Gemulator Explorer. After declining NOBW's G11 suggestion and discounting 2 WP:ILIKEIT keeps, I almost closed this as "no consensus" but it's unclear how notable those 2 forensic journals are. Userfying so RaviC can continue to work on it. Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:45, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• delete It's an interesting idea (aren't some of these "foreign" formats constant linear speed, not constant rotation speed, so that's a hard technical problem to solve). However this article contains nothing, either detail or sourcing. Articles have to be better than this if they're to make their case for inclusion.

• Comment: I made this article about six years ago. It was a lot more popular then as it was one of the few ways to open Mac-formatted disks on a PC. Most of the sites discussing it have removed it from their pages. But it's probably irrelevant in today's world where everything is either on the cloud or a universal format. --RaviC (talk) 18:20, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Having said that, it seems to still be recommended by two forensic journals. --RaviC (talk) 21:00, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• keep it for posterity when we didnt have usb flash drives and mac os 9 and windows 98 were popular and powerpc was used on macs instead of intel so you didnt have bootcamp they were the days — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.188.16.122 (talk) 21:18, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Nothing on GNews, and GBooks only returns trivial mentions, one of which cites this article. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 19:31, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
