I like the thought of having a collection-base for devs/frontends etc. If it's done correctly they will hopefully start to use it aswell.

One quick thought here.. I really don't like this file-setup.. It will make (for some systems) make tens and thousands of files in a single folder. Some systems like for example NES will have ~1200 roms * 10-12 different files = 14400 files. Not all computers enjoy having that many files in a single folder i've found out tongue.gif

Have you looked at the ressurectionxtras thread and how stuff are being collected and stored there?

I recommend to wait for ressurectionxtras to be released in ~3 weeks and see the setup there to see if this is something that can build upon it :-).

The entire emulation community (read: coders/developers) would love to have a standardized setup when it comes to roms/artwork etc to have as a base when creating frontends and emulators. (atleast i think so)..

Nope.... Not a day or two.

More like 4 years of serious time, two of them active with other people online, and probably 6 years or so just tinkering around.

I really like the idea of this like I've said, but I do think you'd have more grounds to work on if you started the project on a more general forum instead of emulator forum for XBOX1. :-)
