- can't think of anything to add to that list. A few of those I didn't know about (redbook for Dreamcast, streaming formats on 3DO). I was also unaware of (or had forgotten) the console-focused nature of the CD32.
Oh, CD-i. I guess?
Similarly, the Playdia. And the LaserActive. CD-based systems which would presumably use redbook.
There's supposedly some games made specifically for the FM Towns Marty, but I'm unaware of what those are.
oh, and the Super A'Can, of course. I'm sure there's a lot of sets out there for it, just waiting to be found with a Google search. There's a number of other obscure cart-based consoles with very small game libraries, which I guess might eventually be supported via the VGM format and rippable via MESS, but I doubt that's likely to happen soon.
I wonder what the Zeebo uses? Streaming formats and MIDI, I guess.

- Option 2,
NES deserve quality rip/treatment like you are doing for GB/SGB/GBC
I strongly suggest a second webpage for the ''console'' series :)

- Okay, I have some good news and some bad news.
The good first - cmh should be up and running... well, soon-ish, I need to make some preparations, and generate enough buffer so that the site doesn't run out of entries.
The bad is that I gave the matter some thought, and here is the revised list of supported systems:
1983.07.15: NES/Famicom. Formats used: NSF+M3U, VGM.
1983.07.15: SG-1000. Formats used: SGC+M3U, KSS+M3U, VGM.
1985.10.20: Sega Master System/Sega Mark III. Formats used: same as SG-1000
1986.02.21: Famicom Disk System. Formats used: same as NES.
1987.10.30: TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine. Formats used: HES+M3U, VGM.
1988.12.04: TurboGrafx-CD/PC-Engine CD-ROM². Formats used: HES+M3U, VGM, Redbook Audio
1988.10.29: Sega Genesis/Sega Mega Drive. Formats used: VGM.
1989.11.30: SuperGrafx. Formats used: Same as TurboGrafx-16
1990.10.21: Super NES. Formats used: SPC, SNSF
1991.07.01: Neo Geo AES. Formats used: VGM
1991.12.12: Sega CD/Sega Mega-CD. Formats used: VGM, Redbook Audio
1993.09: Commodore Amiga CD32. Formats used: Amiga exotic formats, Redbook Audio.
1994.09.09: Neo Geo CD. Format used: Redbook Audio
1994.11.14: Sega 32X. Formats used: VGM
1994.12.23: PC-FX. Formats used: HES+M3U, Redbook Audio
So, only the earliest 32-bit systems. I'm still thinking whether Amiga CD32 should be included or not, so it might get the axe as well.
There's simply no way to process CD-based 32-bit (and up) systems to my satisfaction - No-Intro romsets for those are not even close to complete. Not to mention the fact that set sizes increase with geometrical progression with those systems - I'm not sure if hcs would be okay with hosting 100+ GB of PlayStation rips.
If you want music from those systems, they should be available at JoshW mirrors for the foreseeable future.
Hopefully everyone is all right with that?

- Sound mighty fine to me Knurek. Having that too many systems for you to gather/rip music would be a monumental task anyway.
Besides, it's not like you can't revise the whole chronology for more systems when HD space and lack of game dumps no longer become an issue. ;)

- Having just those systems archives is still quite the feat, so don't sweat it. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication!
