Something that I would like to see but might only be possible after the rebuild would be a way to sort games and save a list of them.  The reports section was fine but lets say you want to find all the 4-way games with 2 buttons and a spinner... you know stuff like that. 

Concentrate on getting the site up to speed though.  This is obviously quite optional.

Some games shown more than you actuelly use. Would been nice to shown real number of buttons needed, due MAME sometimes shown wrong info (I mean I have wrote about that long long time ago and have been debated that to).

I also think all controls.dat posts should been moved here (Example that one Garmin have doing).

That's one of the goals of Controls.dat, to relate the actual controls to mame.  Some games in mame do have the wrong number of buttons.
