Protocol for contributing

[Galaxy]

I have a fairly substantial collection of original Amiga games and was wondering what are the protocols (if any) for contributing to the database.

You probably could be of great use to CAPS to: http://www.caps-project.org

HOL doesn't collect games, just information about the originals. If the game you have is already on there then they aren't interested.

Check your games against the CAPS site while you are here as Jim said as they are the ones interested in the actual disks, not HOL.

Box scans / game info is what I had in mind..

But if you supply all the manual/box scans + disk image to CAPS then the info will eventually filter to the HOL. I'm sure most people (including HOL maintainers) would agree your first stop should be CAPS. Once scanned & sorted if you wanted you could submit the manual/boxscans to HOL too.

Thanks Galaxy - scans of boxes, floppies, manuals etc. that are missing in the HOL would be appreciated. If you've got better quality versions of existing scans we'll replace them. We've got a public FTP for uploading scans when they are ready.

I've got to write some sort of documentation soon for this sort of thing...

@Galaxy: Thanks for your interest, one public guide will be up with the next version of the website.

Atm, you can post info intormation this forum "HOL contributions" and post files into our FTP :
