"or something like that" well there are multiple Atari #### systems... but yeah 2600 is one

The 5 "major ones" seem to be the Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, Jaguar, and Lynx. Those were the ones Wikipedia even bothered to make game lists for. If we're going to even bother putting these down as classifications, might I suggest:
Atari 2600 - [2600] or [ATARI]
Atari 5200 - [5200] or [AT52]
Atari 7800 - [7800] or [AT78]
Atari Jaguar - [JAG] or [ATJAG]
Atari Lynx - [LYNX] or [ATLNX]

I clicked on the "In Progress Topic" link in the first post, and I think I almost got a virus on my computer...  :P

Yeah, a while ago, NSM changed its domain to .org, and ninsheetm.us (the previous site) was lost. Now, several links on site still connect to the old domain, and so you'll need to be careful when browsing topics like these that were made a while back, simply for that reason. (The same thing happened to me, but in NSM Resources)

Oops, that could've been bad. I edited the OP so hopefully that won't happen anymore.

Quote from: tkethler on March 24, 2016, 04:47:02 AMI was looking to request a TurboGrafx-16 song for piano (Ys 1 & 2 - Palace) and there is no accepted console ID.
Its a great song and I'd like to set up a proper request. :)

thanks for the help
Looks like we're also in need for a TurboGrafx-16 code. [TG16], perhaps?

Then you're like most of the requests on the request board.
Requests are treated more as suggestions here than things that must be fulfilled. If no one wants to do it, it may not happen.
Also, 2 days is barely any time. Give it longer.

Thanks, Maelstrom. I know I should give it longer, I just wanted to know what to do if nothing ever came up. I'll probably start to give up after a month or two.

it's also worth downloading arranging software and trying to work on it yourself.  You could end up with a quality sheet.

I don't think I've ever had any requests fulfilled.

Same, apart from Casino Night Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2. And that was me saying "Ah, screw it, I'll just get it over with."

Well, Jester had arranged Gloam Valley from Super Paper Mario, but it was never submitted nor put on-site

We like to refer to these as "Self-Fulfilling Requests".
Try to do everything; you're bound to succeed with at least one.

I'm guessing that with the release of the Nintendo Switch and its associated games, there are going to be requests.  I've played around with a few abbreviations, but they are always too long [SWTCH], or don't make sense ([SWCH], [STCH]).  A little help?
