*for newbies that weren't around emuscene years earlier*
imo: 10 years earlier, UnMAMEd was something along the line of the Getty museum with all the images (screen snaps from flyers or other sources) of games that were daring to be emulated/preserved with Atari page or Sega page loaded with several dozens of images. Way back then, one could spend an hour or so viewing all the pages.
In a good way, it is great to have many of the old images in unMAMEd now become actual emulated hardware with images on MAWS, System16, Arcade-History, and other places. And eventually that meant unMAMEd being reduced quite a bit to where it is more of a local art gallery display with fewer old images still left since many of the more popular arcade games (ie: games that were begged to be emulated on a daily basis in previous years) have been emulated.....*j/k*
A lot of the remaining images of games to be emulated: Naomi hardware or post 2000AD hardware, numerous gambling video games, mahjong games, lesser known games from 1970s/1980s....and then bringing up the rear would be some of the lesser popular non-cpu games.
I can see unMAMEd getting by with fewer visual images compared to past years now that a lot has been already completed.
