Alright @cucholix @QuarkTheAwesome @ploggy @the_randomizer and who else thinks he has got some knowledge, I really want to bring some light into the darkness.
Since I have some time the next week I want to make the Wiki nice and noob friendly.
Of course I'll start with the installation guide and some tips from OP (thank again, cucholix),
but I also want to provide some special guides for more complicated things like DosBox and Arcade.
To start, it would be very nice, if one of you could quote this list (I got it from the screenshot from OP but everyone can also find the correct names here) and write after each system which is the best core for it (if there are multiple cores).
Also where the CPS 1, 2, 3 should go in (I guess FB Alpha folder?), and which are the correct ROM sets for arcade and in which folder each goes. For example FB Alpha Romset version should be v0.2.97.30 as ploggy said somewhere here but I also read somewhere that it's 0.2.97.39 and for MAME as 2003 is the only core for the Wii U, the romset would be 0.78 I guess?
However, here is the list I want you to quote and complete and as an example I put in the prefered cores for SNES, NES, MAME and the romset for MAME:
Code:Amstrad - CPC Atari - 2600 Atari - 5200 Atari - Lynx Atari - ST Bandai - WonderSwan Color Cave Story Commodore - 64 Commodore - Amiga DOOM DOS FB Alpha - Arcade Games GCE -Vectrex MAME2003 -> Mame2003 -> rom set 0.78 Microsoft - MSX2 NEC - PC Engine - TurboGrafx 16 NEC - PC Engine CD - TurboGrafx-CD Nintendo - Game & Watch Nintendo - Game Boy Nintendo - Game Boy Advance Nintendo - Game Boy Color Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System -> Nestopia Nintendo - Super Nintendo Entertainment System -> Snes9x Nintendo - Virtual Boy Quake1 Sega - Game Gear Sega - Master System - Mark III Sega - Mega Drive - Genesis Sega - Mega CD - Sega CD Sinclair - ZX Spectrum SNK - Neo Geo CD SNK - Neo Geo Pocket Color
I will do a general setup guide (similar to OP) and some special guides for each system (where it is needed) to clarify if (and which) BIOS is needed, how it has to be named, where it has to be placed, which rom version is prefered (zip or unzipped, bin/cue or CHD or whatever).
Would be great if you help me out here.
I'm confused on what you want me to do exactly? But I'll make a list of what I use
mGBA for the following:
Nintendo - Game Boy Color
Nintendo - Game Boy
Nintendo - Game Boy Advance
Nintendo - Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Snes9x
Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System - Nestopia
Genesis Plus for the following:
Sega - Mega CD
Sega - Master System/Mark III
Sega - Genesis/Mega Drive
Beetle PCE-Fast for the following:
NEC - TurboGrafx 16/CD
NEC - PCE Engine/CD
Arcade:
Capcom CPS1/2 - Final Burn Alpha
MAME2003 -> Mame2003 -> rom set 0.78
