Glad to help.

I've been member of the community for a long time and have already contributed to this site.

So I have this Beta 128 clone (by Zaxon) and I'm trying to format my first 3.5" diskette. According to the TR-DOS manual, the format program is on a "Software Disk" I understand was enclosed with the original interface, but it seems I can't find anywhere on the net. Does anyone have a...

As inlays have no back side (it's entirely blank), I'm supposed to upload them as "Front", am I? Yep, it's correct. Thanks! I've just realized inlays needs to be correctly rotated (spine left, front image right). Fixed and re-upped images. :) Apologies, I'm not acquainted with the new upl...

@wallyweek I am not sure if those instructions and TZX files are really in English. If not, please remove them and upload them again with a proper language. Tape language is italian, passwords are ehr... actually passwords. ;) Removed all except inlay for Epic 3000 #5, will upload again asap. As in...

Just uploaded some goodies for existing entries 27346/27348, two issues of the wonderful "Epic 3000" italian covertape series.

Any feedback from the admins is welcome, in case I did anything wrong.

Therefore I suggest calling it "DJ Television", but keeping "Triller" as synonym.

I agree.

Also, please consider amending the publisher, which is obviously "Load'n'Run [IT]".

UPDATE: identified as entry with ID #7815, which needs fixing because of wrong publisher and title.

Thanks Alessandro, my apologies, this slipped out unnoticed. I'm going to fix the sheet ASAP as well.

I'm adding infos to the database for the remaining Load'n'Run italian tape magazine issues.
MIA's genuine titles are popping out in the process, please see the following posts.

Thanks!

I remember filling a sheet, maybe last year or a couple of years ago.
I'll be glad to recap after finishing the Load'n'Run series.

Adding missing Load'n'Run italian magazine is also a way to discover small fixes needed. :D Please consider the following: ID 26286 - Rename to "Play’n Learn: Europa centro meridionale" ID 26305 - Rename to "Play’n Learn: Segnali di pericolo" ID 27488 - Rename to "Scopa"...

I think the publisher does not need changing, right now it is: Viking, owned by Edizioni Hobbi . Please let me point out that "Viking - Adventures in italiano" is the full title of the magazine, and the magazine is owned by "Hobby Edizioni S.r.l.", just like e.g "Crash"...

This information was added using this spreadsheet . Alessandro Grussu and myself filled the first 7 issues, but we both have been too busy to do anything else. If you can help complete this spreadsheet, even if it's just a few more issues, we will be very grateful! Just send me a PM with your email...

I've made a pull request on github with the new table and the entries for all 1984 issues of Load'n'Run as a start.

Any feedback welcome, please!

I have found one error. On the page for 'HIT GAMES' there is a snooker game 'Biliardo' with no original game quoted, it is a rip of Steve Davis Snooker You can tell Giuseppe yourself, or I can forward the info to him on your behalf if you prefer. :) I've forwarded your suggestion to Giuseppe.
