Not yet, but they're on the list. Same for [mention]spider[/mention]'s MM/JSW stuff. Actually, I'm after some help on this one, I'll post later on that.

IS anyone willing to collate these? Information on how to do so is here

djnzx48 · Post by **djnzx48** » Wed Jun 05, 2019 2:41 am

Yeah, I could probably do it. Would you want the .wavs as well (with the introductory voice)?

Good man!

If possible could you convert anything that will work as a tape image to TZX, but include everything pleez.

Corrections are happening separately in batches
Also: I (R-Tape) only have time to collate brand new software, and Dru is working on corrections, so if anyone wants to help collate older MIA then please volunteer. Things that need looking at:
-[mention]Frankie[/mention] 's many MIA and uMIA mentioned here (I made a start but there is more still to do).
-[mention]wallyweek[/mention]'s MIA mentioned in the preservation forum
-These uMIA Spanish games.
Info on how to collate stuff here. It takes a while to get everything to the lofty standards required by ZXDB, but it's worth it and the help is appreciated

Apologies: some demos posted by @g0blinish, still to do.

Ta Peter.

Also - I forgot to mention the bugfixed .scl and .trd for Al's Double Bill have been added.

Also 2 - I couldn't get Battle City, Boom and Popcorn to work, so they have no screenshots. If anyone is more familiar with Trd and can provide some then please do.

Didn't. It's included it as part of the original Magical Tower. I assumed it was the same ID. Do you think they should be different?

A new experimental inlays viewer ...

PeterJ · Post by **PeterJ** » Sun Jun 30, 2019 9:32 am

This is fantastic [mention]pavero[/mention]

You may want to start a thread for it so it gets the attention it deserves. The quality of those scans is amazing!

Ralf · Post by **Ralf** » Sun Jun 30, 2019 10:22 am

This inlay browser is great! It definitely deserves its own thread.

I would have one comment. Currently the search page say "choose title or publisher" You know, maybe I'm thinking like a programmer and not a standard human

but for me OR means "return everything where at least one of two conditions is true". So if I choose

title=Dizzy OR publisher=Ultimate

then I'd expect games from Ultimate + games having "Dizzy" in the name

But is seems that the search actually does AND - returns titles for which both conditions then both must be true.

Good point, Rafal!

SQL query really uses AND operator only.

But if you want to use the web form, you can specify one condition only - title OR publisher.

On the other hand you can also specify both of them at once (optionally) and it will work too.
