Platforms and the "Played on" value.

Hello!

I just had some questions about the way the board is set up.

How come hardware platforms other than GBC (SGB, SGB2, GBi, GBP, GBA, GB) aren't allowed to be selected?

I notice the 'Played On' value mentions the emulator/hardware it was played on. I understand the use of this value to list emulator names (would be nice to have versions here too); but I'm not sure why the hardware platforms aren't just added as platforms?

I would expect 'Played On' to be 'Emulator Version' and for the hardware platforms to just be added as platforms.

I was just curious why the alternate format for listing hardware was chosen vs the built in way. Is this board just from a day before the other platforms were introduced to SRC?

Thanks for hearing me out! Legs

I don't remember if all the platforms listed were present on SRC when the leaderboard was created, but chances are they were and we were (read: I was) too oblivious to notice. The platforms have been added (and I've tried to the best of my ability to change people's platforms to what they played on), and the variable has been changed to "Emulator".
