New way to report game and compatibility

Been a while since I think about it... I don't think keeping a forum like this is the best way to let people know about compatibility and such things..

So here's my concept for a compatibility/report page.

The app could also retrieve current review for the game and return best configuration (from those who reported the game working and in which state it was working)

And then the website will automatically generate the game compatibility page with all the different report for each version of ppsspp... The website could also automatically create a discussion thread on the forum for those who'd like to.talk about the game or give more detail about the game's problem.

That way, it would be the most easiest way to give a nice compatibility list... To be sure about the validity of the report, ppsspp could provide a token when you first launch the.emulator. With a quick logging system, we could register all the games played be this specific token in a database. And then request the user to fill the token in the form to check if he really tried it.

The form could allow them to give a class to the game (perfect, playable, in-game...) , also let them commenting about why only playable... And of course, ask them to give information about the configuration used and the device used while testing

For more discussion, there will always be a thread on the forum. The thread will be named with the GameId and the playability state. That way, we can avoid problem about which was the game region
...

So, I would like to get your opinion toward such a system and I'm pretty sure there's many way and possibility to improve this concept.

Ps. I'm quoting myself from a private chat

I made an simple HTML just as example, but I can't upload it. My page have: Info about the game, Compatibility (Perfect, Playable, Ingame, Menu/Intro, Blackscreen), Issues, Requeriments and the speed that run with the requeriments, Settings. I made an page about PES 2013. We could create differents settings configurations, and put an name or number, and in game page, we put the name/number of settings that works, or just if need of an specific option.

On Android, some devices not will run well, then we put an requeriment for run in a good speed.

well, from what I think, the main page would allow to post report and compatibility but will also have a list (like a table) displaying the most recent state (playable, perfect///) for both windows , android and other popular plateform. When selecting a game, we display all the report from playable one to useless one. (by system difference and ppsspp version)

And, maybe, reporter can also add a video of the game ?

When first report, we can ask them if they want to register or to link their token (from ppsspp) to their forum account and use this one as report account.

Wouldn't be a wiki (like the pcsx2 or dolphin ones) simpler?

EDIT: My bad, I forgot the report part

[cloud1250000]

I think it would take too much time to make a wiki... with a report site like this we could easily handle many platform, many suggested configuration depending on the user device and everyone could contribute quickly

[stodag]

Would defo stop confusion etc.. We do need seperate threads for different OS's.
Am lookin forward to see if this idea becomes a reality

[cloud1250000]

The more people like this idea.. the more chance it becomes a reality.

[mupralsh]

I also like your idea
Looking forward for this, i wonder what Henrik think about this

[Ritori]

Maybe add screenshot (for proof! and video is great too but how about people has slow net) or game is main picture i perfect that

I don't quite get my head around how this would work / Look like, is there any chance of a screen shot of a dummy screen of how it would look even if its drawn on Paper please.

Playable- this means the game boot up and actually you can play games in full speed.
But sometimes it boot up but the game are very slow and yet this thread are in Playable section.

Why if we add some more category other than Playable like Fully Playable this means all the fully playabled games are in there (atleast for win and android) what you think?

One drawback with that suggestion would be the fact that games that run full speed for say me, on my setup on Windows, may well run perfectly for me, but other Windows users may not have as powerful rig, resulting in same game / same version running as Playable / Not full speed.

That why keep it as it is........

But the reporter give information about his device too... Oh well, it seems like it's pretty hard to get a touch of it without screenshot...

also 100% perfect playable to the end without glicth,problem,bug,crash,compatible is quite hard anyways,absolutely need someone to play the games to the end,and not sure if it okay today and break tomorrow.

Mc, I'm not doing a new forum or anything, it's not like a simple new subsection too, the new perfect section doesn't have anything to do with me. (Well except I'm a mods)
