Request platforms here

I’d like to request WiiWare and WiiUWare to be added as platforms. My main 2 reasons are 1. There are lots of games that have only come out on Wii/WiiU Ware, and it’d be better for proper classification, and 2. Often there are loading time differences between Wii/WiiU Ware and disc. For example: Wii Sports Cub, and Wii Chess which are both games I run, have faster loading times on the Wii/WiiU Ware version.

Requesting Palm OS / Palm PDAs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_OS me and some people recently started running a Palm game and have it under 'Android' because that's what the emulator is on. https://www.speedrun.com/sspos

Ok, I’ll try to provide examples for my points. Here’s a list of games that have only ever come out on WiiWare: http://www.nintendolife.com/forums/wiiware/list_of_wiiware-exclusive_games And here’s a Speedrun from the Japanese WiiWare version of Wii Chess: https://www.speedrun.com/wiichess/run/zp0qgvxm compared to a Pal version on disc: https://www.speedrun.com/wiichess/run/yvj4w8xy The pal run was done on a emulator, however still has a greater loading time then the WiiWare Version.

There is a game currently listed without a console: https://www.speedrun.com/Drag_Strip This comes from the Fairchild Channel F which is not currently listed as a console: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_Channel_F There is potential other games from its short library that could be included for speedrun.com

Hi there requesting the platform of Atari Jaguar CD. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_Jaguar_CD :)

@cinemassacres Commodore CDTV is added but AmigaOS is a really strange one. Is there some exclusive specific case for this? Because a couple of Amiga platforms already exist on the site that uses the OS and its like saying "Windows 10" is a platform (I can see the argument but I really need more information regarding the case here).

looking up the town with no names for platforms shows up as Commodore CDTV, DOS, AmigaOS

@cinemassacres I am going to deny the request for AmigaOS at this time as this doesn't provide the information that was asked.

Is there any chance at we can get flash as a platform? "Web" is unspecific, as html games and other stuff exist. Also, all of the major browsers will stop supporting the flash plugin by 2021. Playing flash games in the "developer" flash player or something similar is extremely common now, and this doesn't use the web at all. PC is also wrong, as flash runs on raspberry pis, Macs, etc. I don't want to have to add 10 platforms to every flash game.

I would like to request two platforms which are both relevant for this game: https://www.speedrun.com/cbnk3d

The first would be the Zeebo, a Brazilian home console released in 2011.

The other is Symbian. While strictly not a platform, it is the OS under which Nokia phones ran. Problem I see with that one is that we also have the N-Gage as console already which also runs under Symbian. So I'm not entirely sure how to handle that but at least something needs to be done about that. I figured Symbian would be the most fitting, just like iOS and Android are a thing.

Hello. I'm a series moderator for Sonic the Hedgehog. The analogue mega sg has just been released and we are allowing it to be used for speedruns. there is a slight problem. the analogue mega sg is not either a.) original hardware, or b.) emulation in the literal sense. We are struggling to find a place for it under current circumstances. As moderators, we would like to separate it. I would like to request either:

1.) FPGA (analogue nt, analogue mega sg) to be added as console. FPGA is the process in which these consoles work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field-programmable_gate_array FPGA would be a blanket console for these releases for both the nes, snes and genesis.

2.) MegaSG- this one would obviously be specific to the Genesis.

Thanks for the time.

Don't know if it counts because its essentially just a portable genesis but the Sega Nomad doesn't seem to be a system.

@Liv It does not seem to have any major hardware differences. The differences it does have is that its limited compared to genesis, as it doesn't have a power button and it has to rely on buttons, as well as not being compatible with some add-ons. However, i'd argue that this is no different than the Game Boy Player, which is listed as a console even though having virtually no differences to the Game Boy Advance.
