Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

The list of platforms should be organized.  Alphabetical probably works best.  
We also need to stick to one format.  Like Super NES rather than SNES.

If you want to write a sql script that will insert this data we'll execute it 
in the db. At this point there is no admin tool that allows us to manage the 
metadata
