So maybe there are two issues here. The database, and a new rom-image
format. Maybe it's O.K. to start building the database and see how that
goes. When it gets to the point of seeing how an emu might end up using
that database, we can figure that out later. If it's human readable, then
it can't be too hard for an emu. But we can use the database to make a new
rom image format if we want. There's something I like about the idea of a
homebrew author being in control of their own information, and packaging
that information with the product.
