@pavero

Please could the ability to select the programming language be added to 'Add a new (MIA) title/entry'.

QAOP Emulator Issues

We are aware that the QAOP emulator, which is one of the two emulators we use for playing games online, is coming up with the error 'Failed to Load'.

I will take a look as soon as I'm able.

Re: RZX link not downloading properly

Hi @saucysarah,

Looking at the server, the file has been renamed which is why you can't download it. @pavero looks after rzx files so I'm not going to touch it, but he should be able to look at it when he is next logged in.

Re: List of all votes of a logged in user is broken.

Hi @ZXSpectrum128,

Thanks for the report. I see you are referring to the show all votes link on the individual entries page.

There have been some field changes in ZXDB. When I have a chance I will take a look.

Thanks

Evening @GreenCard,

Nice to have another Linux User!

From memory there are two versions in the Ubuntu repositories. Gtk and SDL. The SDL version is full screen only and I believe it shows the correct perspective.

Re: "Sorry but you cannot use search at this time..."

As 1024MAK says we use shared hosting which is a cheaper option for smaller sites who don't have a lot of traffic. ZXDB is a relatively big database for this sort of hosting so we need to put restrictions in place. I don't see this changing in the future. I can fix the too many connections error qui...

Hi @Adrian45,

I've never had any issues paying with credit cards on a PayPal site without needing to login.

Can I suggest contacting Phil at Retroleum. I'm sure he would talk you through it.
