    I've been thinking about making the site more of a niche site than a multi-system site.

    Looking through the systems I see that very few systems are actually being used, primarily NDS, GBA, NES, SNES and N64. Therefore I'm considering removing some of the systems and then writing a system that's more specialised in the few remaining systems.

    This is your chance to affect which systems will remain on the site.

    So which systems do you think we should offer here at romulation?

    I vote for NDS and GBA roms. These two systems are still active with game releases, so it'd be a wise choice to keep these two. ;D

    I think you should keep NDS and GBA without a doubt due to the fact theres still releases for these systems
    PSX and N64 would be a good keep too due to it being a pain to find roms for those systems most of the time
    Snes and nes are on many large rom sites that don't get updated often, but is fine since there are no new releases
    So, I think this site should focus on the active and hard to get roms. Unless you want to make it into one of those one stop sites with everything.

    What's your reasoning for wanting to keep SNES?

    I need a reason to keep SNES, nobody is downloading any SNES roms.

    Snes is too popular, realy every rom site has snes games... We don't realy need it. But not many sites have PSX like we do~

    SNES really isn't that popular according to my stats, the most downloaded rom is Time of Illusion with 32 downloads. In contrast the most downloaded GBA rom has 12,465 runner up has 10,451 downloads and the most downloaded NDS rom has 3,605 downloads.

    PSX, N64, GBA, NDS must stay.

    There is no other option.

    I just started using the Neo Geo roms. They work for my GP2X Neo Geo emulator. I have had a hard time finding good roms that work with it. Please keep them there. Well at least until I get them all downloaded. I would have to say that the Turbo grafx, Genesis, and Neo Geo would be my top three favorite systems.

    Sorry to hear that you are thinking of reducing the site.
    Being relevantly new to the site, I have not had time to venture into doing a lot of downloading of roms. (I am cursed with dial-up. When downloading a Neo Geo rom I usually click and go to bed. It downloads during the night.) I really like the variety that you have here and find it appealing. I like Nintendo, but I am not a "Nintendo only" gamer. I guess you would not consider sticking people like me into a link somewhere that went to a different page?

    I'll talk to seph, but depending on the exact reason why he is downsizing, there may be options for retro gamers. I'll see what we can come up with :)

    Snes games should stay imo because the best rpg's ever created are on it. And also GBA roms are vital.
    NDS roms are at the moment useless for me cause emulators can't run them at a playable level.
    I believe the lack of Snes Dl's are due to ppl 's heavy interest to GBA roms because they are hard to find considered to others.
