We have no problem with listing the file size or list of the contents of roms though, so maybe?

I wouldn't throw a Rule 5 flag on a post that contained info like the following:
- Game title
- Company /author
- Year released
- Operating system
- Controls
- Installed executable filename (i.e. "Daytona.exe" NOT "Cornholio's_Daytona_Pack.rar" NOT a self-extracting executable NOT an .ISO)
- Executable filesize (installed/uncompressed)

If the info posted describes the game, no problem.   ;D

If the info posted describes how/where to find a copy for download, that gets into Rule 5 territory.   :police:

I knew I was forgetting something.   :embarassed:

Describes the game, doesn't hint where to get it.

Added.

Honestly I would draw the line at the file size.
Giving the file name of the bootleg compressed file is a huge hint IMO.
...but if management is ok with it.  :)

I agree that a filename of a compressed bootleg pack or self-extracting executable would be a huge hint, but the name of the installed executable file should be fine.

Clarified.
