Long lost file formats could soon be resurrected by pan-European research. The 4.02m euro (£3.58m) project aims to create a universal emulator that can open and play obsolete file formats. Using the emulator, researchers hope to ensure that digital materials such as games, websites and multimedia documents are not lost for good. The emulator will also be regularly updated to ensure that formats that fall out of favor remain supported in the near and far future.    (source: news.bbc.co.uk)
