Add more information into the wiki entries. - Intruso - 01-22-2016

The wiki show interesting information about the games and how to emulate them.  It would be great if you added more:

(In the lateral panel)
-What video modes the game supports (50hz, 60hz, 480p) for every region
-if the game supports widescreen.
-languages for every region.


(in the configuration section)
-Indicate which compatibility options haves already been set in the game ini file and which of them have to be selected manually.

Hello. We already have some of those functionalities:

I think we don't track this info on the wiki, but I may be wrong (Kolano probably know more about this kind of info). Generally, if it's the NA or JAP version of a given title it'll always run at 60Hz. If it's a EUR version then it normally runs at 50Hz but most of them also allow setting 60Hz modes. About Progressive Screen, enabling the option in Dolphin's video config should make the compatible games run on it (although running in interlaced/progressive scan mode may have no effect in image quality at all since we're emulating them?)

All GC titles runs at 4:3 except for a few that are listed on it's own category and also have this info in the Emulation Information section. Regarding Wii titles, most (if not all) of them have widescreen support. A few early titles runs only at 4:3 but sadly we don't have a category for them (yet). However, those games generally have a entry either in Problems or Emulation Information regarding the lack of widescreen support (right now I remember of WarioWare Smooth Moves)...

We don't have track of this info. I don't even know if there's a reliable source somewhere we could use for that (generally the EUR version of a given title will be the one with most languages available)

This one is a bit hard. It's not always possible to have GameINI settings in sync with the configuration recommended on the wiki for a lot of reasons I'm too lazy to detail now...
