Not sure whether it's a good idea but was thinking of splitting up the mobile section like what happened with PC and the MSX computers. At the moment it has the early stuff (Snake, the postage stamp screen size colour Nokia games) to whatever is the latest game that tSR/tMR has.
There is a technological divide between the old Java/J2ME mobiles and Android/iOS, the latter isn't just phones but tablets, handhelds and even computers too. Plus I'm not sure if the old games can be natively run without using an emulator or a Java simulator.
The only problems that I can think of is whether it would confuse people and the time period (around the very late 2000s to early 2010s) where there were some games that came out both on iOS and later the very first Android stuff with the more capable phones like the Sony Xperia X1. Already the mobile section has a bit of confusion as especially with J2ME where each game can have multiple versions depending on the resolution and capability of the phone (Sonic Advance is a good example of how it can be like and is also really well organised). Also the name as well...
Would like to hear what others think.
