Comparison grid

See Talk:Jukebox Software, the same thing applies here I think. We can make pages for emulators (perhaps put all the MAME deratives on one page), emulators like System16, Callus, Raine etc. should also go in the table. Basically the question is: what would we need in the table? Felsir 14:37, 15 March 2006 (EST)

Individual Emulator Pages

The same standardization needs to be made for the individual emulator pages to be setup. I'm think the basic details should be listed at the top, as was done with the Jukebox software pages, and then a general question format follows with the information. Any thing else other than what is below?

I guess you are completly right about this one. The only thing is Latest Official Version and Last Updated may need the wiki sites updated often. So for my option, they are not needed. The could been a picture of the console, like we did for the frontend and jukebox software pages.

Look on the Zinc page? What do you think? I wait to update the other emulator pages.
