Smokers - https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/list?label_id=13444

It's all the same group, it can also be sometimes named SHG and Smokers Team. Actually it's not from Russia, but from Minsk, Belarus.

https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=38289 - is this a relevant entry? No information, no download, seems more like some leftover.

What exactly do you mean? a) Triumph is a publishing label from company (or group) Triumph Game Labs? b) Triumph is a person that owns company (or group) Triumph Game Labs? c) Triumph is a person that works for company (or belongs to group/team) Triumph Game Labs? Triumph is a publishing label of T...

https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.php?cat=96&id=3906 - Prowler seems to have poster from Prva Akcija. https://archive.org/download/World_of_Spectrum_June_2017_Mirror/World%20of%20Spectrum%20June%202017%20Mirror.zip/World%20of%20Spectrum%20June%202017%20Mirror/sinclair/games-extras/PrvaAkcia_...

I've done a large new feature on ZX-Art, possibly useful for anybody who is working with ZX file archives. https://zxart.ee/eng/about/search-by-file/ You can upload a ZIP archive with tap/trd/scl files and the system would make a deep scan inside every tape and disk image and show if any file has be...

Maintaining one standard for transliteration is a nice thing to have. I usually take it from Wikipedia, but now I see that in my list at least Odessa should be Odesa and Nikolaev should be Mykolaiv. In Russian translations I use Russian names, in English - Ukrainian-based English names. Everybody is...

Thanks, I'll change these in ZX-Art as well then.

There are both city and country mentioned in authors database on zxart. I've made a script which finds for wrong countries - not belonging to cities in a database to fix wrong information. For example, Viator's country is mentioned as Belarus, and his city is Chernigov. It is clear that his real cou...

As far as I see from official discussion on zx-pk.ru: 1. There is really periodical DDOS attack. 2. Setting the website behind basic HTTP auth is not a phishing and cannot technically be used like one, because user and password are one and the same for everyone. This is like primitive and (temporari...

I was going through old email conversation and found a document kindly provided to me by Carlos Alberto Díaz: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UkcxkyjfQ7fhseyI4GFTnVg-ROJ7WleF/edit - a detailed list of authors of Opera Soft games. I've done a quick check and it seems like many authorship info fro...

Art-Top is not a company, it's a person.
Artem Topchiy from Gatchina, Russia.

edit: I've published SQL for label type changing, but there seems to be no way to add Artem Topchiy as owner.

https://hype-retroscene-org.translate.goog/blog/809.html?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=et&_x_tr_pto=nui - some tech details via google translate. Shortly: that's not only about digital samples, but also about tone shape correction on the fly. Similar to multicolor on graphics, but for...

Most likely the problem is caused by browser's security policy. Some browsers block mixed content by default or by some strict settings: particularly, links with http:// cannot be embedded into https:// webpage in such browsers.

Bitfans is Juan-Antonio Fernández from Spain (NB, not the same as Juan-Antonio Fernández-Madrigal).
His one more nickname is F3MO.

Rest in peace, uncle Clive!

https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.php?cat=999&label_id=15602 Z-Group is from Belarus, Grodno, not from Russia. Members are Slavik and Mad.

Thanks a lot! Everything is working just fine.

From a second thought you are right. If I would like to change infrastructure (for a ddos shield, for example), then it would not be public anymore.

Why? That seems a public information to me, because anybody can see it if they ping zxart.ee and its mp3-storage

Thank you! I'm usually doing file copying for new releases only, and only in one stream, and it's not constant, but interrupted for some ZX-Art related processing and database update. I will run this at night, no problem. And since it's everytime a manual operation, I'm only doing it once in 2-3 mon...

I'm trying to copy releases and screens from ZXDB to ZX-Art, but I cannot get past the Cloudflare protection. My update bot is getting that HTML with text "Checking your browser before accessing spectrumcomputing.co.uk" instead of file content. Is there some legitimate way to do it? How is...
