- Sort and filtering of games (by genre, year, publisher, etc)
- Searching
- Tracks what games you're playing (last played, most played, haven't played yet, etc)
- Quitting the emulator/game from the controller
- Play a random game
- MAME support
You might want to shoot them an error report on that one. Hmmm, maybe on the mailing list?
- Sorting or searching : Could be merged into one same option.
- Tracks what games you're playing : Useless in my opinion.
- Quitting the emulator/game from the controller : This one will be great I know. But we will have to setup a game controllers database.
- Play a random game : Also useless in my opinion.
- MAME support : For filename -> gamename conversion. For other data we will use the scrapers
