 * Hold on, I'll take a more in depth look. I actually found out about this software via Wikipedia, and was really happy I found it. Considering it's the most comprensive and probably most popular (or the only?) emulator for PalmOS, I'd like to keep it if possible.  Let me poke around and see if it's notable enough to satisfy WP:N. -kslays (talk • contribs) 18:12, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Huh, there doesn't seem to be many really high-quality references revealed by a Google search. Surprising, because you'd think an emulator for a somewhat popular phone OS that works with all these systems (Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Nintendo Gameboy/Gameboy Color (GB/GBC), Sega Genesis/Megadrive, Sega Master System (SMS), Sega Game Gear (GG), Bandai Wonderswan/Wonderswan Color (WS), NeoGeo Pocket/NeoGeo Pocket Color (NGP), and Atari 2600 (VCS)) would get more coverage. The only even somewhat good refs I found are these:

If the consensus is delete, I'll be sad to see the article go. LJP has quite a wiki and forum following. By the way, take a look at the only other console emulator for PalmOS I know of, Phoinix (external here). -kslays (talk • contribs) 20:03, 18 December 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Merge into an article on Palm OS game console emulators (or similar title). Except for news stories, it's always mentioned together with similar products in round-ups. An article on this type of Palm software seems supported by multiple sources in sufficient depth. This software alone is not. Pcap  ping  15:30, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I support a merge. It saves the valuable content, but doesn't give it the status of a dedicated article. Place it in more appropriate context, as supported by the references. Good idea. -kslays (talk • contribs) 17:24, 24 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge per above, into a more generic article covering this type of software ffm is now L Faraone  15:50, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
