Re: Little bugs in the database 6

Hi-Res scan for Myth (Rainbaird) Found it on the missing in-lay page, but they are actually already there (as I uploaded them years ago). However, they have not been classified correctly in ZXDB - as can be seen on the page as well: https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/entry/11949 I've changed the class...

Re: ZXInfo API v3

ZXInfo API v4 The next iteration on the API has started with the following main topics: * rename a few endPoints to make it more logic (eg. /games/ becomes /entries/ - which is the correct ZXDB term) * adding a few specific search endPoints - for example, if you want to search within titles only * ...

Re: ZXInfo API v3

Hello! Thanks for the beautiful api. Can you please tell me more about file hash search? Seems like a search going across TOSEC and ZXDB entries? Their files have different md5 and filesize. So you have both ZXDB and Lady Eclipse TOSEC sqlite3 database available for search? The general search does ...

Re: How I find [CENSORED] game

With the latest update of ZXDB to ZXInfo - I've implemented X-RATED marking in the API and on the website. On the search overview and detail page, the "image" got a nice red ribbon, in case the title is marked x-rated. There is currently no way to get only x-rated from the search, maybe th...

Re: How I find [CENSORED] game

I couldn't find a way for zxinfo.dk to show those 261 titles, the interface doesn't seem to have 'adult' listed. I did type the name of a game I know for sure to be highly explicit, and saw [adult] in the filename. Searching for that in the general search only brings up two games. ZXInfo does not m...

Re: Complete Spectrum - partwork

Being late to the game - I can confirm that ZXInfo and its API is build on elastic search. It means that the ZXDB is not used at runtime, but used to generated “documents” that are indexed by ES. The original idea was to have only one search box to rule them all :-) By creating a clever document str...

Re: ZXInfo API v3

While looking at the indirect release date, I found this example

It contains different release date for "release" and for indirect release. Release year 1988 vs 1989. @Einar Saukas - what is suggested "correct" date to display in this case?
