Well can’t take full credit for that, as it’s a standard feature in the backend im using(elasticsearch)

Of course I’ve configured the indexing to make it useable :-)

And just to be clear zxinfo.dk does not offer downloads of game files, but provide links to eg sc or wos as defined in ZXDB.

Re: File permissions.

Is there any way of adding aliases to the database? For example, if I search for just "Jason Railton" I get nothing. Yes, it's possible - for example Joffa Smifff also exists in ZXDB as Jonathan M. Smith But.. it also depends on how the website implements the use of ZXDB, for example spec...

Re: Screenshots in the archive - suggestion

As I understand- the black border is as designed, and it scales depending on your screen size.

I’m short - the black border has nothing to do with the screen dump (in this case a .scr file)

Re: Screenshots in the archive - suggestion

This is a zx81 title, but it should not make any difference as zx81 screenshots are converted to .scr - using this format most hi-res dumps works as well. Few exceptions includes screens larger than 256x192 pixels, yes that’s possible on ZX81. Same title(and screen) rendered from the same .scr file ...

Is there a way to submit database corrections, incidentally? There's a minor detail on the Break/Space page I'd like to change. :)
Don’t known if Einar is here- otherwise just tell me and I’ll make sure it gets corrected

Re: Introduce yourself!

Hello James... Think we had some chit-chat back about 10 years ago, when I did the native OS/2 version of x128 (NOT the recompiled X/Window version for OS/2) You probably don't know - but the OS/2 version actually ended up on a danish magazine cover cd ;) Hi, Thomas. Ah, you trigger vague memories ...
