Let's try it!
SCREENSHOTS!!!These titles (listed below) don't have a screenshot yet. Please help us to complete the archive!
In ZXDB, screenshots must be saved directly in the original SCR format. Most emulators have an option to save the current screen as ".SCR". NEVER store them as GIF/BMP/PNG image, otherwise they will lose hidden details!
If you think a particular game has so much variation that only one in-game screen won't be enough to represent it, you can create more screenshots. Just please avoid repetitive nearly-identical screens, and ensure the most representative screen is uploaded first since it's the screen that will be displayed in game lists. A good example of varied screenshots is
Pets vs Aliens Prologue.
If a particular game has different loading screens in re-releases, or multiple parts with a different loading screen in each one, then these others can be uploaded too. A good example is
El Cetro del Sol.
If a particular game runs in multicolor, please save a screenshot directly as MLT instead of SCR, using Fuse 1.4.0 or later.
Upload your screenshot(s) using
the online form selecting "Add new files for existing title/entry". Thank you!
CREDIT MISMATCHES!This list below shows mismatches between ZXDB and SPOT/SPEX, regarding authors of certain titles. Except for a few cases of minor differences on author name spelling (that we plan to handle ASAP), most remaining cases show completely different authors (or companies) credited for the production of certain titles. If you have any information that could help us clarify these cases, please let us know. Thank you!
UNNAMED GROUPS!This list below shows unnamed groups imported from old WoS. We could not assign a proper name to these groups yet, because it has been hard to identify what each of these group of titles have in common... If you have any information that could help us clarify the meaning of these groups and suggest a proper name to any of them, please let us know. Thank you!
