Arcadenut Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 Ok, I am looking for feedback on what you want for Hardware tracking. Do you just want to know that you have 2 2600's, a Jr, NES, etc... or do you want to know a lot more detail. If you want a lot more detail, tell me how much you want. Would this work: Atari 2600, 6 Switch - Black Atari 2600, 4 Switch - Woodgrain Atari 5200, 2 Port Atari 5200, 4 Port etc... Do you care about Model Numbers, Serial Numbers, Manufactures? For the controlers, will the Names of them be enough or do you want more such as Model #'s, etc..?? Examples: Atari Joystick Epyx Joysick Wico Joystick Atari Paddles Coleco Driving Controler What types of harware do you want to track? Consoles Controlers Accessories I am working on it right now so if you want to be heard, now is the time. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmi Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 Would this work: Atari 2600, 6 Switch - Black Atari 2600, 4 Switch - Woodgrain Atari 5200, 2 Port Atari 5200, 4 Port etc... Yes this ok for me Do you care about Model Numbers, Serial Numbers? yup i care about just these 2 features Yes this ok for me Examples: Atari Joystick Epyx Joysick Wico Joystick Atari Paddles Coleco Driving Controler this ok for me as well What types of harware do you want to track? Consoles Controlers Accessories all the above, but is it going to be all in one section like Atari 2600 hardware section Atari 2600 6 switch - woodgrain atari 2600 jr. atari 2600 Trak ball controller atari 2600 Epyx controller or are you thinking of seperate sections for controller Accessories and consoles?

Step 1: Go to Options->Manufacturers Step 2: Choose the platform you want to add the Mfg for. Step 3: Type in the name of the Manufacturer. Step 4: Click "ADD" (or press Ctrl-A) Thats it. You should now have a Mfg for that platform. Exit out of Options and you should be able to select it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylentwulf Posted November 17, 2001 Share Posted November 17, 2001 For the hardware I think most people would agree that if you can get it as complete as possible, I wouldn't mind the serial numbers and model numbers being added on later. In other words, try and get a full hardware list for everything first and then if you have time do the serial/model numbers. Another thing I though of, not sure how you could implement it, but Having a seperate "Section"? for homebrew/modern carts for people like me who just aren't even LOOKING at modern games for classic systems yet. Oh yeah! I may be missing this, but it there a way to see "you have XXX carts out of XXX available for this system"? Or "You need 137 carts to finish this collection" Going off of the master lists of course. I know it would be hard with things like label variations throwing the count off, maybe just do a one on one count against the master list or something... Just my babbling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my babbling Well, you can open your cartridge file and the Master Cart List for that platform and do a Comparision. That should give you a list of what is missing. Your Cart Counts should also be in the lower right corner of the window. The number on the left is the Qty count, and the number on the right is the number of Rows in the list. If you don't do label variations then it will be equal to the number of unique carts you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylentwulf Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 Yeah I noticed the total in the lower right (Which is GREAT!) but I just thought being able to see 357/777 would be cool, Whether it be depressing or exciting depends on the collection I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 I'd like it as complete as possible. Serial Numbers, Model Numbers, Manufacturers, etc. I'd also like to see a option for example on the Paddle controllers-- [ ] Shakey Control [ ] Parts Only Of course of that isn't worth the time.. Make sure that you have a Notes section like the on the Add Carts. That way I can type it in if not anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
