The TOSEC Naming Convention (TNC) has been updated.
The two big changes in this revision are the removal of our previous low ASCII characters only rule, as well as disallowing completely unknown images. See below for full details:
Revision 4 (23/03/2015) changes:
- Introduction updated to be consistent with TOSEC website and Wiki page.
- "ZZZ-UNK-" removed outright, this is now a TNC fail.
- Low ASCII only restriction lifted, all Romanised names now valid.
- Removed restriction of when you have a dual language flag English must come first (they should always be alphabetical like other flags).
- Previous [h] ambiguity now corrected.
- Restriction on [more info] being lower case now lifted.
- Further grammatical errors corrected and examples given.

I am proud to announce that today is the TOSEC project's 15th birthday!
For a decade and a half we have been dedicated to the cataloging and preservation of software, firmware and resources for arcade machines, microcomputers, minicomputers and video game consoles.
As of release 2014-10-31, TOSEC catalogs over 280 unique computing platforms and continues to grow. As of this time the project had identified and cataloged 781,347 different software images/sets, consisting of over 4.97TB of software, firmware and resources.
We've come along way in the last 15 years, but that's nothing compared to what we have planned for the next few. Bring it on!
