Fact is, this board is called "Retro" but most of the things it includes are not retro at all.
No, Dreamcast is not retro. No, N64, Saturn and PS1 aren't retro either. And no, gen 4 is not retro too. All this stuff is too modern to be considered "retro".

"Retro" is Spacewar, Pong, Atari, the first Arcade cabinets, home computers and every console up to gen 3. Everything after gen 3 is simply "old" or "classic", not "retro". So yeah, I agree with everyone saying that the sticky of this board is arbitrary and absolutely nonsensical.
And yeah, I agree there should be two boards for videogames before the current gen. One that covers everything from the first videogame up to the end of gen 3, which is what /vr/ should be, and another new one for everything from gen 4 ownwards, up to the current generation (which will include the older generation once a new one starts).
Either they do what I just wrote or finally accept their definition of "retro" is fucked and finally accept gen 6 in this board.
