| | Think we really need to change the information under each company/brand name on the official page to a simple table format. Coz, the page is getting too long, just too much blank spacings between lines of text/fonts & whatnot. I mean, just look at Irem's list alone (Mostly just 1980's-early 1990's fare).

| |
| − | '''2020, July 06''' - Just experimenting with an ideal table template. I had this idea in my head for a year or more. They can be inserted under each major company/brand and also in "Other" sections. This can also be copied into several other pages with modifications.

| − | Do each edit in 3-4 steps per company/category so editors are less stressed and can relax and enjoy ;):
| |
| − | : '''1)''' Add table and names.
| |
| − | : '''2)''' Add production dates of games, then rearrange in ascending order; plus compat status - start with default cross symbol first.
| |
| − | : '''3)''' Add notes with MAME driver links & type notable game examples. Update compat bars too.
| |
| − | : '''4)''' Research availability of machine support in alternative emulators and FPGA cores like the MiSTer FPGA if you want to bother. Good luck.

| − | Unfortunately, in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arcade_system_board&diff=977220309&oldid=968500687 early September 2020], one regular editor removed the large list of [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arcade_system_board&redirect=no arcade system board] names in a Wikipedia page and instead redirected it to a sector in a simple description-focused page on arcade games. Compare to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arcade_system_board&diff=968500687&oldid=965644357 old page] - take all the useful information from there and refactor the page. This [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Arcade_system_boards wikipedia category tags page] is more basic - this wiki's page should be better one day.

| − | This [https://arcadepcbfever.blogspot.com/ blog] from arcade PCBs collector [https://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/Corrado_Tomaselli Corrado Tomaselli, AKA Kold666], a member of the Italian Dumping Team, has a long list of companies that made arcade games and other electronic machines on the right-side pane. It could be useful to research the lesser known names and find out more about their systems and add to the page.
