Preload Star Rating from online lists for less popular systems / multiple Star Ratings

Community Star Rating is perhaps the most useful enhancenment I've seen on an emulator frontend. Importing an unknown system with hundreds of games and having a hint about what are the best (and worst) games is invaluable.

On some less popular or difficult to manage systems like computers (Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC) votes are scarce, and it's difficult to find the great games and little gems.

I suggest populating the ratings with online lists like The Games DB, IGDB or Mobygames. When users add enought votes, those can take priority over the online lists to reflect the Community likings, but until then it prevents having empty rating data.

Perhaps multiple Star Ratings can be maintained, like in movies: this movie has a 7,6 in IMDB, 8 in FilmAffinity and 6 in Community Rating.
