Yes there are a lot of constant emulation releases, but the majority of these are new versions of existing emulators. With that in mind we wouldn't need to concentrate on providing the very latest of every emulator, as we could easily provide a link back to the main developer sites/download pages for each so people can check for newer releases themselves.
The thing that frustrates me is finding all the information about how to emulate a system, what is needed, locating the files and downloading them, setting everything up, where to locate roms etc.. and what the top games and software is for each system (over time we could do a user voted top 10 games for each system).
I also want to try and get more people on board to help generate the content, rather than us struggling along as we tried with classicamiga.com. I'm currently exploring possible alternatives, such as using the articles system within these forums to create system specific sections so all designated members could add and edit content, and any member can post forum posts that can be promoted into articles if we like them.
Alternatively we have options for other software solutions, such as a more retail like software such as Magento, which could work well as a structured database CMS but with the commerce part disabled, but the sale item idea making it easy to enter information.. much easier than classicamiga.com was to add content (although as I coded that myself it was the best at the time).
