The plan is to actually merge all Arcade systems together so you won't see anymore added.

Good to hear! :)That would certainly uncomplicate a lot for scraping and working with/for media of arcade systems. Even though I like to be able to see or sort by arcade system names, maybe a new info field for this could be an alternative to help sorting these in playlists, although I have no idea how complicated this would be for you guys to realize or if theres a better way.

they are not platforms..just Arcade boards as technology grew...

Different arcade boards are indeed platforms. Proof is in the pudding: CPS 1, CPS 2, CPS 3, Examu, Taito, RingEdge, etc are all listed as seperate platforms because of their boards.

They each require different programming language and aren’t cross compatible. To say they aren’t platforms is to say different consoles aren’t different platforms either. They are equally distinct in exactly the same ways.
