Expanding the Live favorites/recommendations beyond MAME

[SineSwiper]

One of the problems with having a collection of thousands of games is being able to choose ones that might be good games. That's why I like the Live GameEx favorites and the recommendation lists from the MAME section.

However, there exists a gap for this with the other emulated systems. This is a great feature, but it's only exclusive to MAME. I'd suggest for a feature request that these two features be added to the other emulated systems. The recommended section might be harder, since it seems like that would require manual input. But, the Live favorites could be implemented just like it is for MAME, except with other systems.

You could use the Database variable to identify the system, and link it with the Live favorites. Other people with that same emulated system can add their favorite games and share with other users, just like with MAME.

Hi, its already in the pipeline The first sign of this is the most played emu games at gameex.com. I will be expanding on it.

Very cool. Looking forward to it. I'd suggest that the list allow for separation of systems. Maybe put it on the main menu like this:

Live Lists

> Most Played Games

>> All Games

>> MAME

>> NES

>> SNES

etc.

Though the software and cabinets are designed for MAME, I think MAME gets too much of the attention with its special menu and all of the categories. The other systems should get something closer to "equal time" on the menu.
