Which is why I said

because it's something a court eventually decides, not the image's uploader

The "license" is just a plea not to sue them, but the whole point is that it tries convincing why (e.g. "this image uses a low resolution"). All I'm saying is that you should import those licenses too.

yeah, no one is argueing that.
I'm only argueing with the other stuff your saying 😀

I think the uncertainty over screen shots might be a carry over to other emulation communities. With Consoles the capacity to capture a screen image is only possible because a ROM image has been loaded which Nintendo has long held is an illegal use of even purchased games. But in DOSBox the platform isn't the property of the game developers and it is quite reasonable to assume that the screen was captured by loading an originally purchased game (even from from original media) in accordance with all of the supplied documentation. I think fair use fits well in this area.

Of Course I am Not a Lawyer. Just my $0.02.

The current game listing is only useful for looking for a specific game. There is a summary at the bottom of broken, runable, playable, supported, but it's static, making it useless for getting any real benefit, like say, the numbers being a link to the list of games in those categories. With the way it's setup now, you know there's 15 broken games with 0.72, but to find them, you have to manually search through the whole database and spot them. I would model it after mobygames, where most everything is searchable and sortable by that word attribute, except it's DOSBOX centric: broken, uses ems, requires normal core, etc. Tracking what's broken, etc. like mame is another way to go.

For the game description maybe just link to Wikipedia or Mobygames pages and only discuss the problems at the DOSBox wiki.

Just wanted to point out my latest page
http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Scaler

It was fun making it (though it took a while), and its rather buried in the Wiki. I also noticed that other people are starting to add games. Cool! Maybe this Wiki Game/App list is starting to have some legs.

I have to ask...why didn't you use MediaWiki in the first place? I struggled so much with the old wiki to write decent text...

Seriously. I had wanted to do this much work on the old wiki but kept running up against unusual syntax. Now I'm just hoping the #IF command can start working (makes really dynamic templates possible) and the thumbnail generation can be fixed.
