We can steal pics from the web as long as it's the exact same cab version, right?

If you can live with that...why not? ;)

Oh wow, that's just like us: nice and retro :)

But yes, for reasons I have mentioned above, we really need the possibility to add at least a link to a picture. It is also to prevent people adding a game (in a more or less generic cab) that was built under license and has nothing to do with the original dedicated cab!

And we get access to that list so we can add new games?


Not sure if it does make sense to give the measures in mm......rght now we have all our measures in cm....but ok :)

At least it's easier to convert mm to cm than inches to cm  :P ;)

There is a possibility to add pictures(as many as you want for each game / cab) in the backend, but not yet programmed in the frontend. i will add a picture-column tonight that shows the "main"-pic of the cab - and by clicking you'll see all uploaded pictures for the cab.

question of mine:
should it be possible for anyone to add data or only a few people of this community?

i think it would better for the "quality" if only a few people take care of adding data? (i know that sounds strange but i hope you know what i mean?)

(i also don't wan't bots to add commercial data ;) )


i chose mm to show how exact the measurements are - it is only a name.... can be changed to cm easily...

just tell me wether cm or mm ;)

Thanks Etienne, but I think we should ask the people to give the measures in cm or mm. I don't know how many 'inch-people' will help to gather all the information.


@Jochen: yes, I think it would be better if only a few people have the right to add/edit the data.
It's ok with the mm, I will simply add a '0' on my measures ;)

That was not my point, its usefull for people needing the inch size.

we fill it with metric, and the inches are automaticaly displayed.

that way everyone who is looking for info is served  ;)

That is great work Jochen! Like if there could be pictires!
What about a coloum that says "weight", some times that could be handy when shipping a cab , though, its not easy to weigh you cab...

Of course you can add it, but I'm afraid this column will be empty for 99% of the cabs. Even the most Atari manuals I checked show the size, but no weight.
