Prototype for compatibility list

[JayFoxRox]

You have to run the script to generate the dummy (Click here, for older screenshot with more info):

Some concepts introduced here:

• Only official Xbox games are kept in this list (Homebrew would have different lists)
• Parses information from John GodGames list (he probably allows it)
• Games are identified primarily by title-id and other DVD specific things [disabled currently, due to lack of information]
• Games compatibility has a couple of components:
  • Exit reason: None / Stuck / Hangs / Crashes / Aborts
  • Supported parts: Nothing / Intro / Menu / Ingame
    (If the game is Ingame and does not have an exit reason, then it's automatically "Playable")
  • Modifiers (hidden if no problem exists):
    • Audio: Working / Missing / Broken
    • Graphics: Working / Broken
    • Performance: Normal / Slow

Problems not solved:

• We need to store this information somewhere else. Using John GodGames google sheet is a temporary hack.
• If we display all discs that are in redump, and multiple binaries for each, we will have 2500+ game artworks loaded at once, a huge bandwidth and performance issue
• Artwork might be copyrighted, so we can't safely display it (it's also hotlinked currently)
• We need a way to match artwork to games
• HTML validity was not checked
• We should have social media integration, like allowing finding twitch or youtube recordings of games (by having them tagged in a specific way [#xqemu #xbox: ?])
• We should have more links for searching for online-games (system link stuff)
• We should have links to redump, wikipedia, and other related projects
• We should be able to group different releases per game, possibly have it unfold (one box with generic game info, which contains one row per release / compatibility entry)
• We should highlight "Playable" entries, by coloring their background, so they stand out
• Performance and visual integration of filter / sorting (also they are from third party services at the moment) [feature disabled by default]
• Filtering by compatibility
