Special:CargoTables

Extensions wishlist

  • Something like Replace Text, except the search field can be blank. In other words, it adds some text to the beginning of every page, regardless of content.
A challenger appears, but it doesn't query all the pages matching criteria first. - Scarred Sun (talk) 07:51, 4 November 2017 (CDT)
Better than nothing I suppose. It's possible to generate lists of pages with ReplaceText or DPL and then paste them in. - Hivebrain (talk) 21:56, 4 November 2017 (CDT)
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)
  • 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").
  • 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.

To do list

Portable programs needed

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 pleasure
  • 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
