Applications:
- Re-releases should be tagged as clones, ie. software name="3dgamemkdro" cloneof="3dgamemk"
- Where multiple disks/sides are included then specify a part_id for each, ie. feature name="part_id" value="Side A"/. When selecting items with long filenames in the internal UI the useful info like (side a).dsk is usually truncated. Specifying a part_id will let the UI offer you either 'Side A' or 'Side B', these should match disk labels if known.
- alkdevlo: the side b image is only 256 bytes, really?
- edduced: filename suggests it's a master disk, maybe worth adding to the description.
- lifeguar: filename suggests it needs a multiface, so tell the user this with info name="usage" value="Requires Multiface"
- revelado: if it's Spanish language then add (Spa) to description.
- Do we really need all these [aka ...] comments in the filenames?
Compilations-Applications:
- unknown years should be 19??, I believe 19xx will fail validation.
- Re-order names, ie. Lancaster, Gary -> Gary Lancaster.
Demos:
If a publisher is unknown then enter as unknown, or in this case homebrew may be more appropriate.
Educational:
- funsc268: why all the alts? We want to document best available. I'd just keep the first, which matches what WoS lists.
All:
- No need to include comment for each item indicating source, ie. remove . If you want to credit a source then add it to the file header.
These are just quick comments, and are not meant to put you off, but I see little to no quality control being applied to these additions. Anyone can blindly add TOSEC collections but MAME software lists are supposed to be definitive collections.
