Regardless, we should do so.
The saves and highscores shouldn't be there to begin with.

If you really mean to update some of the files, I've always thought that DOS games should be already configured to run under DOSBox's (and VDMSound's) default config (SB16 @0x220 irq7 dma1) when downloaded--EVEN if that wasn't the out-of-the-box config. It would save a lot of trouble with people asking, even people who manage to get DOSBox right and still they don't get sound.

There's also a problem with MechWarrior. It says change a string in DosBox v0.63 from mpu401=inteligent too mpu401=uart, but i don't get it, i can't find that line in my DosBox(it's 0.63 too)

Abandoned Places should have the Folder "Save" + "Data" created, then move most of the Files in "Data"-Folder.

anyways good idea!

Hind won't let you save your progress until you manually create a folder called "log". It should be already present in the zip, empty.

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 has to be replaced with proper version, as this one is beta.

Also, could we add the two expansion packs as well?

While you do the cleaning, I guess it would be advisable to remove any messages left by... err... people who circulated these files

eg.: Prehistorik archive has 5 such unnecessary files.
