I'm currently updating nplayers.ini for MAME v0.162 but with the MESS merge, many systems are tagged as games. As the purpose of nplayers is giving info about games, I won't check if those are computers, consoles or calculators. It sounds complicated to sort all these things as some of them are multipurpose systems. So I'll put everything under a new "Machine" special tag to differentiate them from games (in addition to the already existing "Pinball", "Device" and "BIOS" tags).
It sounds like the best solution except for systems having a built-in game, such as the Master System console with Alex Kidd for example. But it will do for now. ;-)
