Arcades in the Game Database?

[blissfulnoise]

Is there any way to add an arcade section to the database?  I imagine I'm not alone in owning multiple machines with additional PCBs and cartridges (Sega ST-V carts for example) and would like to be able to add them to my collection.

I don't know if this topic has been covered or not, but it is something I'd really like to see.

Thanks!

Personally i am not against it.
But how we would get it to work in conjunction with the current videogame database i am not sure.(Thats not my specialty around here )

But i personally also wouldn't want an all encompasing Arcade listing.
Since some of the cabs, like the PlayChoice and ST-V, had there own "carts".

The topic has been brought up before and people are still talking about doing it.   We are currently working on adding hardware into the database (systems, controllers, etc) so once that gets done, we'll see if the arcades would be a good idea to try as well.  Bottom line, it's on our list of suggestions,but it may be some time until we get around to it.

I would add it by the system board it is, then if its not running a hardware set just put in under a PCB category. Have a checkbox for "Loose, Kit, Dedicated Cab, Conversion Cab" type of deal.
