I like the idea of a single resource, letting you know what is and isn't compatible across emulators and systems and equally importantly allowing people to review games. I think the current layout and tree structure work well - but it will need it a tweak to include multiple emulators per system.
Good to see a return of the webcam.
I like the idea of a review section, presently I only have a little comments page. Also the reviews for a SNES game (for instance) can be accessed across the board of emulators, but I should include an option to select which Emu you are playing it on. Or something...
If I plan this site correctly, then it could become a very useful and fun resource.
I am working on the user access code at the moment, so I will start to plan the sites database very soon.
Byeeeeee for now,

EDIT:
Ookay I have a big question here. Is there actually any point in keeping all old data about older Emu versions? I get the feeling people are only really interested in the latest version and what works on that. Or am I wrong and I should keep version history like in the original lists?
The thing is, when a new EMU version is released, someone has to then re-test ALL the games again to see if they work. Would it be better to keep the same data, and people can simply change it all. Say for instance a game didn't work on a previous Emu version, and it now works. But the old data says "Doesn't work". I think it's easier to change that one game status, than to go through every game again each time there is a new version release.
The reason I ask is, it's kind of annoying when a new version is released and suddenly all games status's go to "Unknown". Even though the database looks one status back and tells you the previous status, I don't think it's good enough.
Let me know.
