Lemmings 1992 release
Posted: Wed Feb 09, 2022
No-Intro currently has a 1992 version of Lemmings datted which appears different to anything released by this preservation project. Does this exist on any of your documentation at all?

I've taken a look at the ADF, its the original 1991 release.flashfire42 wrote: Thu Feb 10, 2022 https://archive.org/details/lemmings-acorn-archimedes the file can be found here. I am hoping to be able to update the dats for the archimedes on no-intro to be in the JFD format as it appears to be the best way to preserve these disks. Hopefully this is of help and I look forward to your feedback.
No-Intro and by extension Dat-o-Matic store the metadata of the images. For example The MD5, SHA1, CRC32. Making dats that people can use to organise their files. It would not be hosting the items merely having the metadata stored in another place so it can be used for the purposes of Dats. No-intro is anti piracy in any way and would not host any roms legally obtained or otherwise.JonAbbott wrote: Thu Feb 10, 2022I've taken a look at the ADF, its the original 1991 release.flashfire42 wrote: Thu Feb 10, 2022 https://archive.org/details/lemmings-acorn-archimedes the file can be found here.

If you're proposing to upload JFD images obtained via JASPP you would need to seek approval from the original publishers. The agreements in place are for distribution via JASPP only, hosting them elsewhere without approval is illegal.
It's for this reason you will not find many games that have been released elsewhere on the Internet on this site. Unless the title specifically states the game can be freely distributed, I will link to the original hosting site and not provide the JASPP archive copy of the game.
That would be okay. There's no problem with hosting metadata as its publicly available.flashfire42 wrote: Thu Feb 10, 2022 No-Intro and by extension Dat-o-Matic store the metadata of the images.
