Adding missing platforms to the Games Database that have strong emulator support and/or plenty of metadata available

[Kurzih]

Requesting missing platforms to be added to the database like the NEC PC-6001 - there’s already the PC-88 and PC-98 on the database so it would be natural to have them all. I’m willing to contribute content to that platform and others (I have over 80 PC-6001 entries with covers, screenshots etc. - has taken me a lot of time to get those, but would be nice to share to the community directly from the database). Including the PC-6001 would be a nice start.

Other missing platform entries with very good or even excellent emulation support:

Thomson MO5/TO7 (lots of French publishers here like Infogrames, Ubisoft, Coktel Vision, Loriciels, Microids etc.  and exclusive titles)
BBC Bridge Companion (MAME)
Bandai Supervision 8000 (MAME)
Casio PV-2000 (MAME)
Memorex VIS (MAME)
Nichibutsu My Vision (MAME)
V.Tech V.Smile (MAME) - very good emulation and a lot of licensed games for kids.
Fruit Machines (MFME etc.) currently a very limited amount of these titles are found in the Arcade section (because MAME has some limited support), there are hundreds that are emulated with MFME for example - so a separate platform is more than welcomed.
MSX Laserdisc (runs great with OpenMSX)
MSX TurboR (Retroarch/Mame)
Bandai-RX78 (MAME)
Bit Corp Gamate (MAME)
Java 2 Micro Edition platform (EKAL21, J2ME Loader, SquirrelJME etc.)

Other missing platform entries with good metadata/images available but no/poor emulation support:

Apple Bandai Pippin (could work with MAC emulation)
Bandai Playdia
Bandai Design Master Denshi Mangajuku
Leapfrog Leapster
Tiger Gizmondo

Also have most of the covers and metadata on these platforms, just waiting to get the to the database.

V.Tech V.Smile now added to the database: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/platforms/games/221-vtech-vsmile
As well as PICO-8 and XBOX X/S. You can now contribute to put content in those platforms.https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/77322-retheme-update-to-the-launchbox-games-database-january-2024/
Let’s hope we will see soon more platform additions to the database (more votes needed for higher priority).
