(I'm sleepy now so I will be short, and will use this as a placeholder for now)
I was thinking there should be some sort of standard for the compatibility lists, to have them in the same format/place for every emulator, but it should be clear all the fields that can be needed, and the best place where to put them.
Just to make an example here are 2 lists we have:
PCSX-REARMED
DraStic
The first is on Google Spreadsheed - It can be edited without an account and has indeed powerful functions, but for example if one wants to see the entries in a different order have to EDIT the document.
The second is on the pandorawiki - You must be registered to change something, but everyone can order the entries just by clicking the field title without the need of edit the page.
I'm working on a script to help updating the DraStic wiki, and I was wondering about the possibility to actually warn about duplicate entries and maybe update the entire page automatically, with minimal work for the user, but this will be a future step, because it should be better to start with well planned things.
1) So, what fields are required for all the categories of the emulators, and what are needed just for some of them ? (It is better to hear from the developers what kind of info they require)
2) What should be the best platform on the net to make them more useful and all in the same place ?
