Nintendo Satellaview and Sega Triforce Arcade on Android LaunchBox

LaunchBox for Android

 As posted here: https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/89363-nintendo-satellaview-and-sega-triforce-arcade-on-android/

I was wondering if these platforms: Nintendo Satellaview and Sega Triforce Arcade will one day become import platform options on Launchbox Android like they are on LaunchBox Windows.

Advantages:

Keeps up with other front ends that offer this like ES-DE

Allows keeping these systems separate from SNES and GameCube. Good because Satellaview is hard to find artwork for and Triforce has different controls from GameCube (I don't even know if they should be included with SNES and GameCube)

Keeps GameCube and SNES libraries less clutered

Matches PC LaunchBox, more consistency 

Raises awareness for these platforms 

Allows cool theme videos to be added

Stops people from adding requests or wondering where the platforms are.

More platforms for Android Launchbox

    Sega Triforce should be available in the next beta: 1.18 beta 1

    Nintendo Satellaview was found to already be available.

      Fantastic, sorry I didn't see Nintendo Satellaview before. It must've been added in the last update or I didn't look properly. Either way thank you very much.

    To me this request is less about your specific platforms and more a request for either of the following (or both):

    • Add new platforms to the Games Database, which in turn make them available on Android

    • Allow Android to import custom platforms, but scrape those platforms as one available in our database

    Correct me if I’m wrong here.

      These are already a part of the games database right? Already an option on Windows LaunchBox? I'm sure I've imported these platforms on Windows

        haha, guess I should have checked our gamesdb first.

        Interestingly enough I’m seeing Nintendo Satellaview in the list of platforms when attempting to import, but not Sega Triforce.

        We’ll look into that. I don’t think there’s any reason they shouldn’t at least appear in that list.
