I am far from an expert but I'll add my 2 cents...
My understanding is all the "classic" databases are just taken from MAME set, filtered by manufacturer, so can be disregarded? I believe so but there may be more filtering that occurred.
AAE games are all emulated in MAME, so no need to use this emulator or add games to database? The AAE emulator adds some nice blooming and other video aspects. Not sure how well MAME does this.
Zinc and FB Alpha games are emulated in MAME, so no need to use these emulators or add any games to database? Correct.
Neo Geo emulation is great in MAME so no need to use different emulator or add games database? Correct.
Sega Model 2 emulation is not very good in MAME, so games should get added to database and model 2 emulator used? Correct.
Sega Model 3 emulation does not work in MAME, so games should get added to database and supermodel emulator used? Correct.
Laser Disc emulation does not work in MAME, so games should get added to database and daphne emulator used? Correct. Daphne and Daphne Singe.
Capcom Play System I,II&III are emulated in MAME so no need to use different emulator or add games to database? Not sure about this.
Cave games are emulated in MAME, so no need to use different emulator or add games to database? Correct...as long as you use a MAME version that has support.
MAME only emulates some discrete games, so the Dice emulator should be used for any unsupported and those games added to database? I believe this is true.
Namco System 22 is emulated ok in MAME, so no need to use different emulator or add games to database? Not sure.
Sammy Atomiswave is not emulated in MAME, so Demul emulator should be used and games added to database? Correct.
Sega Naomi is not emulated in MAME, so Demul emulator should be used and games added to database? Correct.
Triforce hardware is not emulated in MAME, so triforce branch of Dolphin should be used and games added to database? Correct.
Tatio Type X games are not emulated in MAME, so games should be added to database and setup to launch correctly? Correct. (these care basically PC games)
Anything I have missed? Not that I am aware.
I will be curious to see the final product and may very well use it!
