      Thanks for the reply @FlyingTomahawk. Did you fill in the Google Survey? If not, I'll add these to the now.

      What's Psikyo? I've not heard of that one.

        Yes I did fill out the survey.
        Btw. I was not the one that clicked all of them. ;)

        Psikyo was a Japanese video game company specialized mostly in vertically scrolling shoot 'em ups and erotic mahjong games.
        Some of the shooters are Gunbird, Gunbird 2, Samurai Aces, Aero Fighters, Cannon Spike, Zero Gunner 1 & 2 etc....

        I just like to keep my favorite shoot em ups in a separate system. So it is not a real system per se.

          That's... quite an eclectic mix isn't it?

            lol, yeah, I guess shoot em ups alone didn't do it and you know what they say, "sex sells". :)
            I don't know how to play mahjong so I just stick with the shooters.

              For those curious, NES is currently in the lead, with SNES a close second.

              10 - NES
              9 - SNES
              6 - SPX
              6 - N64
              6 - MegaDrive
              6 - Gameboy
              6 - Gameboy Advance
              5 - Arcade
              5 - FinalBurn Alpha
              5 - Genesis
              5 - Neogeo

              So, could MegaDrive/Genesis technically be in the lead with 11 votes?

                  @mattrixk surely the Megadrive / Genesis is winning... it's the same system! Damn Nintendo fan boys.

                    @AlexMurphy MegaDrive and Genesis have 10 each, so yes, combined they are beating the pants off the Nintendos (which makes me happy as I was a MegaDrive owner growing up).

                      NES and SNES equal on 22, but MegaDrive/Genesis on a total of 25. The race is on!

                        @mattrixk I haven't been this excited since... forever! The Megadrive kicks ass. My first console was a Master System in 1987 so I'll always have a soft spot for Sega. Where I am from owning an NES was considered weird, most people had C64s, Speccys or Amstrad 464s, a few like me had the SMS.

                          @AlexMurphy I was pretty sure I had a Master System at some point, but looking at the pictures on the Goog didn't spark any memories. Then I remembered that it was actually a Master System II, looked it up and it all came flooding back. Then I had a MegaDrive II after that.

                          Most of my friends were Nintendo boys, and I had an original Gameboy, so I was still exposed to Mario, Donkey Kong, etc, but the Segas will always have a special place in my squeedlyspooch.

                          Some real surprises here. Lots of Virtual Boy and Game and Watch. Not many MAME, but lots of Atari2600. No love for the 3do either, which I wasn't expecting.

                              No can do mate. The whole point of this survey is to find out the best folders to include in a theme, and in cases like MegaDrive/Genesis, PC Engine/TurboGraphx-16 and SNES/Famicom, to find out which folders and images to use by default.

                                @mattrixk Pointless! Really mate, are you that naive? You think you can please people??? I use Megadrive because I'm not a US citizen. They would not know, mostly, what a Megadrive was. It's just a regional thing. Blame the marketing companies and existing trademarks...

                                    @AlexMurphy Hah. When I was in high school in Aus, I had a mate going to the US on holiday. I gave him some dosh and asked him to buy me a MegaDrive game. I had no idea the Genesis existed. Neither did he. He had a hell of a time trying to find a "MegaDrive" game. They all looked at him like he had 2 heads.

                                            I use and enjoy the following.

                                            Atari 2600
                                            Atari 7800
                                            NES
                                            SNES
                                            Sega MasterSystem
                                            Sega Genesis
                                            Sega CD (Some real hidden gems here)
                                            Sega 32X
                                            Gameboy
                                            Gameboy Color
                                            Gameboy Advance
                                            Sega Game Gear
                                            Atari Lynx
                                            Playstation
                                            NEO GEO
                                            Sometimes DOSBOX

                                            I would like to use the following, however I prefer nearly universal compatibility in emulators with minimal configuration and these emulators have limited compatibility for one reason or another, so I generally don't use them.

                                            Sega Saturn (Insanely over-engineered hardware, difficult to emulate in general)
                                            N64 (GPU heavy emulation workload on a weak Pi3 GPU, difficult to optimize for many games, I will not play N64 emu in low-res)
                                            Dreamcast (Haven't tried with this one much, but I know the SH-4 outperforms the Pi3 CPU significantly with floating point math, so haven't even entertained the idea much, though I'm sure some games work ok)
                                            3DO (I don't think there is much technical reason for this one not to work other than perhaps a lack of optimization for the platform, this emulator (4DO) works fairly well on a PC)
