Game Name (or ROM name if you don't use a database for said system or no entry is found)
System Name (your emulator's Title Text setting)
Developer and [YEAR]
Category
If either of the previous two is unavailable, Number of Players is displayed
The second display includes Game Name and System Name in addition to the following:
