Gosunkugi Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 First off, enormously grateful to those that keep the MAME metadata updated, but we desperately need something like a "MESS" platform for the database so we can add metadata that doesnt fall under the arcade description. I understand each computer will have its own entry, but I'm referring to things like LCD handhelds, system devices, chess machines, and all the esoterica. This will help clear up a LOT of incorrect entries. We're tens of thousands of games in for MAME now, and it's only going to get worse. I'm happy to do my part, but I can't do anything without a proper platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gosunkugi Posted yesterday at 12:06 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 12:06 PM To clear up any confusion, the following picture; using Ms. Pac-Man as an example; shows the same id (#15079) being automatically attributed during import to at least four games. Only one of which is the actual arcade game. The other three in the screenshot are handhelds and a plug&play game. What I propose is to either add a MESS platform to the launchbox database so we can add the games that don't fall into the arcade category, and are slipping through the cracks, or Handheld, Plug & Play, Chess Machine etc platforms. Something, anything to avoid repeated errors cropping up for same name games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
