ZXDB Update January 30, 2024

[PeterJ]

The latest update has been applied. The previous one was skipped (as I was busy with other stuff), so I'm sure there will be loads to enjoy with this one!

[druellan]

And some of the changes in this update, we tackled several old but complex ones, my favorite: the one regarding the Shaw Brother's MCoder II games from Goodboy (viewtopic.php?p=82224#p82224) that ended up producing:

50 new games identified as compiled with MCoder
211 identified as compiled with MCoder II
23 compiled with the Colt Compiler
1 compiled with ZX COMPILER MMII.D (two in total in the whole database, which is interesting)
2 compiled with MCoder3 (and only one back in the day, and using the microdrive version of the encoder)

Let me know if anyone knows more, in this thread.

Also, two variants for the encoder discovered: Super Compilatore - Softwell (Italy, and so far 10 titles using this compiler) and PI-VOTY B. Compiler (Hungary, two titles).

I have an update question: Using the Preservation tools, if there's an entry that is not in the database, is there a way to create the entry as well as upload the files all at once?
Up to now, I've been creating the new entry by using the "Add a new (MIA) title/entry" button, then at a later date after the ZXDB Update, I have to come back and upload the associated files once the entry is available. It would be nice to create the entry and upload all at the same time.

No need to wait for the update. Go to 'add new files for existing entry', and you should be able to find your newly created entry right after creating it.

Thanks @R-Tape. I'll give that a try.
