| Platform | Describes what kind of MAME binary was used for testing. We don't officially accept bugs from SDLMAME or MAMEUI, but if we had a field for them, we could allow them to be logged and easily filter them from the results. Then it would be easier to find bugs that only show up in SDLMAME or MAMEUI and get people to reproduce them on the standard Windows build.

If pacman and clones share the same issue, just write down the master set name.
