Apologies to anyone still waiting for new software, Frankie's MIA or PROSM's type ins—they're for me to do and I'm otherwise occupied at the moment. Will get on to them soon

I removed that annoying ULA Plus code from a number of titles:

Lost In My Spectrum
Apulija-13
Al's Double Bill
Sophia
Sophia II

Others will follow. Do you wish me to send you the tape/disk image files individually packed as .ZIPs as I previously did?

Note: Anyone who wishes to download the new files for use with their ZX Vega, ZX-Uno etc. can do it from my website since they are already available there.

Thanks to all for the updates!

More quality (and in some cases missing from the archive) stuff. It's important to have into account that there are still some games without available instructions or with low-resolution inlays.

Updates, improving 'little bugs' along the DB and adding new games are what makes SC the best Spectrum database.

Ah! and the memes thread too, obvs.

I don't understand these updates. When I click the link, I see the file has been added, but no mention of that its the Danish release, and the Danish red inlay hasn't been added. Am I missing the point here? Its also not added under RELEASES.

I'm pretty sure I did these, and included a comment about it being a Danish re-release. I'm not sure why they aren't showing. I'll check it out later.

I am little bit confused also. I would expect that ZX-DATA re-releaser will be added. Then I can add the inlay with a connetion on that re-releaser.

I've just checked the spreadsheet and I forgot to add the comment. I'll fix that in the next update. I didn't realise [mention]pavero[/mention] was waiting for a new ID.

But this is not a new ID is it? I thought it was just adding new material to the already existing ID 918?

[mention]Frankie[/mention], apologies. Doing the MIA is a convoluted process, so if you spot anything wrong please continue to raise it

Not exactly for entry_id, even for label_id. Acually I was waiting for adding ZX-DATA as Re-release #3 for the ID 918.

Now we have TheChessPlayer(ZX-Data).tzx.zip file and wrong info about publisher - Quicksilva Ltd (UK).

[mention]R-Tape[/mention]: That bump in your head must have been harder than I thought. You forgot everything about release numbers it seems!

No need to apologies, I just want to understand how this works

Apologies for the radio silence over the last month or two. August through to October is my busiest time work-wise, so I don't get much time for other stuff.

Posted: **Wed Oct 02, 2019 9:53 pm**

Just to let everyone know that the latest update from [mention]Einar Saukas[/mention] has been applied.

I'm in the middle of a PC rebuild, but as soon as I have FileZilla runnnig again I will update the date on the homepage too.
