Gaming and I go WAY back, all the way to Atari and Nintendo. I have so many games from my childhood that I still play and one of my biggest complaints with emulators is their lack of a quality user experience. For example, why don't emulators maintain a database which can retrieve game reviews and descriptions from web sources as well as allow you to rate games and add notes? Of all the emulators I tried UberNES, was the closest to offering this functionality. Unfortunately, of the games I tried only a few had descriptions, box-art, or screenshots.
So I decided to create an application I call, NES-Loader which adds all this meta data from an online scraper. You can see from the screenshots below, the application interface. The application starts up and all the games are listed with details like the developer, the year it was released, its genre and whether it is a "recommended" title or not. This is really helpful for sorting the list by genre (e.g. I only want toplay shooter games today) or the developer (such as Konami).
You can see below the NSIS installer which I used to package everything up into a single installer so I can install everything I need on any of my machines with just a few clicks.
