==Extensions wishlist==
 +
* A working version of [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpecialMultiUploadViaZip MultiUploadViaZip] that also accepts 7z files.
 +
: [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SimpleBatchUpload Not quite the same, but a nice alternative to uploading multiple files without UploadLocal?] - [[User:Scarred Sun|Scarred Sun]] ([[User talk:Scarred Sun|talk]]) 07:51, 4 November 2017 (CDT)
 +
:: It doesn't have the benefit of compression, but could be useful nonetheless. - [[User:Hivebrain|Hivebrain]] ([[User talk:Hivebrain|talk]]) 21:56, 4 November 2017 (CDT)
 +
::: [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MultiUpload Extension:MultiUpload] might work. - [[User:Hivebrain|Hivebrain]] ([[User talk:Hivebrain|talk]]) 14:33, 22 November 2019 (EST)
 +
* OBJ or some other 3D object viewer (with PNG thumbnails). Maybe [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:3DAlloy 3DAlloy]. Something that supports textured models would be better (for example, loading the model and texture files from a single zip file).
 +
* Something that can read bytes from uploaded files.
 +
* Something that can view the contents of zip/7z files ("ZipHandler").
 +
: I'm imagining the file page for a zip contains a list of all its files, each of which has its own file page and can be viewed/downloaded individually (e.g. "File:Zipfile.zip/Anotherfile.bin"). Also thumbnails for contained files ("File:Zipfile.zip/icon.png").
 +
* [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Sync Sync] looks like a good way to share templates between wikis. From what I can tell it would only needed to be installed on Retro CDN.
 +
* [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:External_Data External Data] so we can share info stored in Cargo tables.
 +
* PSD thumbnails. PSDs contain layer information that gets lost when converted and uploaded as PNGs. Maybe thumbnails for other formats too, such as TIF. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:PagedTiffHandler PagedTiffHandler] would work.
 +
* RTF/DOC/DOCX/PPT thumbnails.
 +
* Something to bulk copy files from here to Retro CDN (by category for example).
 +
* Something to bulk delete pages/files (by category for example). [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DeleteBatch Extension:DeleteBatch] might be good if it works on files.
 +
* [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FileImporter FileImporter] and [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:FileExporter FileExporter]
 +
* More video formats for TimedMediaHandler: MKV, AVI, FLV etc.
 +
* DjVu thumbnails. [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_use_DjVu_with_MediaWiki Apparently possible].
 +

===Portable programs needed===
 +
* [[Cogwheel]]
 +
* [[FreezeSMS]]
 +

 +
* [[SSEmu]]
 +
* [[Yabause]] (creates files in user AppData folder)
 +
 
 +
===Problem emulators===
 +
* [[A-Saturn]] - needs a BIOS file I can't find
 +
* [[Xe]] - needs GTK+
 +
* [[Daphne]] - needs some kind of video files
 +
** Looking up "Daphne for dummies" may be a <i><b>pleasure</b></i>
 +
* [[Makaron]] - seems to require Xbox 360 controller
 +
** To use a keyboard: change "X360PAD.dll" to "MakaronKEY.dll", under "[PortA]" in "Maple.ini"
 +
* [[Gearsystem]] - missing component
 +
* [[SSE]] - doesn't detect BIOS
 +
* [[Retrocade]] - couldn't get it to detect roms
 +
* [[Virtua]] - uses nonstandard rom set

Extensions wishlist

Not quite the same, but a nice alternative to uploading multiple files without UploadLocal? - Scarred Sun (talk) 07:51, 4 November 2017 (CDT)
It doesn't have the benefit of compression, but could be useful nonetheless. - Hivebrain (talk) 21:56, 4 November 2017 (CDT)
Extension:MultiUpload might work. - Hivebrain (talk) 14:33, 22 November 2019 (EST)
  • OBJ or some other 3D object viewer (with PNG thumbnails). Maybe 3DAlloy. Something that supports textured models would be better (for example, loading the model and texture files from a single zip file).
  • Something that can read bytes from uploaded files.
  • Something that can view the contents of zip/7z files ("ZipHandler").
I'm imagining the file page for a zip contains a list of all its files, each of which has its own file page and can be viewed/downloaded individually (e.g. "File:Zipfile.zip/Anotherfile.bin"). Also thumbnails for contained files ("File:Zipfile.zip/icon.png").
  • Sync looks like a good way to share templates between wikis. From what I can tell it would only needed to be installed on Retro CDN.
  • External Data so we can share info stored in Cargo tables.
  • PSD thumbnails. PSDs contain layer information that gets lost when converted and uploaded as PNGs. Maybe thumbnails for other formats too, such as TIF. PagedTiffHandler would work.
  • RTF/DOC/DOCX/PPT thumbnails.
  • Something to bulk copy files from here to Retro CDN (by category for example).
  • Something to bulk delete pages/files (by category for example). Extension:DeleteBatch might be good if it works on files.
  • FileImporter and FileExporter
  • More video formats for TimedMediaHandler: MKV, AVI, FLV etc.
  • DjVu thumbnails. Apparently possible.
