I'm relatively new to the world of emulation; I've been playing games for a few years, but never really went to much effort to put a good library together.
Now that I am, I'm wondering: Many, if not most, frontends display game data when you highlight a ROM. Screenshot, Box art, etc., as well as text describing the year, make, and game info. Some games even have a diagram for the default control scheme that displays before the game starts.
My question is: where is this information stored, and is there a way to edit it? Some games have one line of shoddy info ("superfun 3-D scroller for enjoy!"), others display a whole Wikipedia entry's worth of descriptive history. This inconsistency really bugs me. I'd like the ability to flesh out info for games where it is missing or poorly done.
Also, is it possible to change the display name of a game, so it just says "Contra," instead of "Contra (EURO)"?
