Description

Usage
Parameters
The order of this list of parameters is meant to match the order they are displayed in the box. You can technically place each parameter in any order you want (as opposed to first, second, third, etc.) in the markup, but it can get confusing as the template is designed to have the values show up only one way.
title- The name of the console. If no value is given, it will default to the name of the page instead, so it's highly recommended to set the parameter yourself.
logo- Should be used for the logo of the console (if it exists). (optional)
logowidth- Set the width of the logo; might be useful for logos that either exceed the size of the infobox, or have a more vertical (and thus uncomfortable) aspect ratio. (optional)
image,image2,image3,image4,image5,image6,image7,image8,image9, andimage10- Show console images; the extra numbered parameters exist for cases where there is more than one image, possibly to represent different forms (like Nintendo Switch emulators) or different models (like PC Engine (TurboGrafx-16) emulators). The extras can also be used without the presence of the first
imageparameter, but this isn't recommended. (optional, but recommended) imagewidth,imagewidth2,imagewidth3,imagewidth4,imagewidth5,imagewidth6,imagewidth7,imagewidth8,imagewidth9, andimagewidth10- Sets the width of the images. (optional)

developer- Who's making the console? If the console was discontinued, then who made the console? (optional, but recommended)
