MAME game list

@Melvin.FoX yes that makes sense for the data validation but anyways I'll defer to @dankcushions as the compatibility lists are in his domain.
Mame is just far too massive and fragmented to come up with any homogeneous solution, docs or compatibility list wise.
If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/
Also if you want a solution to your problems read this first: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

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.
