MAME game list
-
unfortunately there's no such data validation in google sheets. if you unprotect a cell, a user can put whatever they want in it.
i don't really like the idea of locking everything but a user comments field because they will suffer the same fate, and even if they didn't, i don't want to be the gatekeeper to translating comments to 100,000s of game status in the various sheets :)
it has to stay as it is IMO. it mostly works.. i rely on other people bringing to my attention when lists go bad. i only regularly look at 2003 and fbalpha sheets.

@dankcushions there is data validation. Give me your e-mail or something and I will send You a link. PM's doesn't exist here so I can't reach you.

@Melvin.FoX i'm not posting my email address sorry.

WINE's AppDB is open-source: https://appdb.winehq.org/
I imagine it would take something like that (plus server space and people to maintain it) in order to manage compatibility contributions across multiple MAME versions. Not trivial!
-
@Melvin.FoX you can post a google doc as an example

i can't edit the drop down? even to choose an option?
-
@dankcushions I tried it on my second google account and I could choose an option from dropdown but couldn't write anything. Can someone else take a shot and try it?
-
@Melvin.FoX when I have access to my PC I will take a crack at it but couldn't do anything on my phone

it's because we were given the wrong link. if you open it in sheets using this URL:
as you can see, i broke it :) you can't validate cells in this way, as i said.
-
I can't access it but still I know that You can override it by just copy pasting text on the cell with data validation :/
Still just disabling any editing option will work fine. I don't trust any of those sheets but for me they are a list of compatible roms.
