Yeah, it’s really not that simple :-)

Just think of the amount of data that needs to be embedded and synchronized, 100 of GB data from various sources, as well as legal aspect, as some titles are only allowed on certain websites such as spectrum computing (zxinfo does not provide downloads, but links to SC)

I know there’s a program ZX-ED ([mention]Einar Saukas[/mention] ) that can run on desktop but requires a sql server as well

zxinfo-file-browser - Cross platform app to manage your files
https://zxinfo.dk - another ZXDB frontend

I did not mean the completething, like a site mirror, just the data which is in the ZXDB itself and perhaps some additional copyright-less things like screenshots. I had tried to run ZX-ED before and gave up because the setup process was just too much, it's definitely not something a mere mortal can handle.

The benefits of offline accessibility and portability seem obvious to me, but I must admit that it seems to be a dinosaur/caveman position these days. It's not the first case in which I'm the only one requesting such functionality.
