:: To be more specific, I agree the GameINIs of affected titles must be updated to automatically handle the needed settings instead of the user needing to manually adjust those settings, I just don't agree those config-related problems should affect the title rating in the meantime we have a problem entry here in the wiki waiting to be crossed when the INI get updated, hence why I'm proposing moving them to Emulation Information, which isn't considered when assigning a rating.
::We would still cross those entries when the INI get updated and purge them out when a new stable version is released, and for cases such as Super Smash Bros Melee/Brawl (EFB2RAM/Real XFB) the related entry would just live here in the Emulation Information indefinitely.
::It would also finally put some consistency on our compatibility charts, for example, we have nearly 70% of titles with a "Playable" rating but I bet at least 20% of those already are "Perfect" for a long time but are "stuck" at the 4 stars rating anyway just because the user needs to manually adjust something with some mouse clicks in the meantime the GameINI doesn't get updated or in cases the GameINI probably never will be updated (such as Smash Bros).
:: TL;DR that's just another issue with our stone-age rating system that's bugging me for a long time and I strongly think this change would greatly improve the consistency of the current system without requiring drastic changes on the wiki, especially after the previous attempts which didn't go anywhere (e.g. the relabeling of the ratings from [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]], the 3-star rating from myself or that "blue stars" thing from [[User:Lucario|Lucario]]) - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]]) 06:37, 16 March 2017 (CET)
:: Side note, since it seems you've been doing some Channel testing. Can you fill in the missing Channel GameIDs, Jhonn?

::: That's already on my list, I got busy with other stuff but I'll fill them soon (probably before the end of this month). On another side note, from a quick look, channel IDs seems to lack a publisher code, being only the first four characters. Is that normal? - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]]) 06:37, 16 March 2017 (CET)
