First off I just want to say sorry. :( Im sorry about bugging you the hole day. This is just one of the few days that I have hours of free time.
The last thing I want to say is I have gotten a website for VMU games that could go on dream arena. Again sorry about me bugging you. http://bswirl.kitsunet.org/vmu/game/

Seeing you so collaborative made me wanted to get started in this. As a matter of fact im already planning how to input the biggest part of this project. A complete database of the DC games. Covers, description, how many blocks does it take, release date, regions it was released, studio, developer, and even list the unreleased games. How does that sound? You think its a good idea?

Wow I would have never thought of that! Thats a good idea. I think the best place to start is the dreamcast talk download section. It gives some basic info on games and they all have covers. Im sure the net has an even bigger list of games. That could be a place where you put the vmu saves too.

Yes, thatd be a nice start. As for UNreleased games, wikipedia has a nice list:

Why would you want to put the unrealeased games on there? Do you want it as a reference bescasue I thought the games list would have support for the games and if the games never came out how would you put support?

Because i want the webpage to tell everything about dreamcast. Also the catalog will even list accessories, both official and 3rd party. Everything.

Ill try to make a hompage sometime by next week. Im sure you know how to use kompozer but for the entire list of games im thinking that you want each game to have a dedicated page and that will take a very long time. I was thinking that every page a could have the same template similiar to the one I made. So that we might be able to get some people to help put the games in.
For history of the game I was thinking of copying and pasting a wikipedia page of the game becuase it is under the GPL. Is that what you want me to do or do want me to type my own paragraph or is there another website you want me to use?

Oh wait now you are rushing.. I havent decided yet if im gonna use php based website or frameset like.. Gotta consider a couple of things. Whats sure is that i wanna make it the most looking like as original dreamarena. And even before the website shape, im right now working on the dc catalog, looking for a nice way to add the stuff, and apply it to a website. Im pretty good at microsoft access, unfortunately it renders pretty bad on a website so i need to find a gui for mysql that looks like microsoft access. Then i put a couple of games info for testing purpose, try to apply them to a test webpage and only THEN ill make the website structure. But thanks again for your help; it really means a lot. Dont take bad my comments at all, but right now you were rushing lol.
