PCE CD and SperGrafx
-
I'm sure it get's asked here all the time but I couldn't find it when searching.
Why do we have Megadrive/32X/SegaCD Systems all separate but TurboGrafx-16/SuperGrafx/TurboGrafx-CD are all bundled together?
I think if RetroPie created the systems but supported all of the filetypes in the main system we could choose how we want to organise things.
Also sort of related, why doesn't Daphne appear as an emulator in the Arcade system?

You can always split out the systems for TurboGrafx, it wasn't done already because it would add even more work to Themers when they go to make new themes.

I know I can, I would rather go the other way and bundle 32x and segacd into megadrive personally, except for the way it messes up scraping.
It's the inconsistency I'm asking about really, why one way for one and a different way for the other.
I'd happily issue a pull request to make the change if the devs were happy for it but considered it low priority.

@dankcushions I figured it had to have been asked many times before. I personally merge all the sega systems together. It was just the inconsistency that made me ask. both are cart systems with cd add-ons but one is separate, one is merged.
You could argue that the supergrafx was a separate system not just an add-on like the 32x but with only 5 games who wants to split that out!
There is one problem with merging though. sselphs scraper doesn't find sega cd titles or pce cd titles if they are in the megadrive or pcengine folders so they have to be scraped manually, the built in scraper doesn't find them either (the system is part of the search criteria and it's the wrong system).
