We have two suggestions:

1. Dark mode: available today on YouTube, Reddit and many others, visual comfort at its best.

2. Search by description and tags: sometimes we would like to search for a title by description/tags, which maybe could be new fields on software entries.
Simple example of description: a bee collecting fruits must avoid spiders. Tags: bee, spider, etc.

is there a REST API for searching/retrieving information from the database? I'm using RetroPie with skyscraper, but even the best-filled scrapers (screenscraper.fr & mobygames) are missing a lot of software that gen-msx does have. I'd like to create a scraping module in skyscraper for generation-msx.nl - if there is a REST API, and if scraping would be allowed, of course. (E.g., screenscraper.fr requires bandwith restrictions, which are dutifully implemented in skyscraper. So that could be an option, if there are bandwidth concerns.)

Ideally, the REST API would be queryable by sha1 hash - is that information available in generation-msx.nl's database?

I'm unable to submit screenshots.

For example: whenever I try to submit a screenshot (in PNG format) it shows this error message: [imgur.com]

If I try to submit a screenshot in other formats (BMP, JPG) it show an error message like: "File 'image.jpg' has a false extension".

Am I doing something wrong? I select/write in all the required fields. I tried taking screenshots from different emulators or creating with image editors. The errors are always the same.

Thank you for your attention.

Hope this message finds you well.

In the past there was an option for sorting games and software by country, but now I could not find this option.

Is there any plan to return this option back again?

I'm asking such a question so that I may see a full list for each country alone (e.g. Spanish games or UK games, etc...)

I use to live in Japan and always looked at MSX magazines, but never bought a machine. When I returned to America, I thought to buy one but the cost of MSX machines in the USA via eBay was always crazy high. This past June I went back to Japan on business and bought a ton of MSX related hardware and software.

I have a few machines that work, a few that need fixing and a few missing power cords. I also picked up lots of games with extra copies to sell when I got back.

If anyone is interested, I have lots of games here: [www.ebay.com]

I'm moving to a new house next week so all my MSX stuff is packed up. Once I am done unpacking, I will drop back into the forum to share some pictures.

Thank you all and looking forward to learning more about MSX.

Domo arigatou gozaimashita!

I recently tried the dsk version and couldn't get it to work on any emulator. It just keeps resetting all the time. I could however make the cassette image load without problem. This was annoying as android MSX emulators don't seem to support CAS images. So ... I tried using DSKExplorer and copying the files out the cassette onto a blank DSK and recoding the basic loaders a little to use the disk instead. What happened ... it didn't work! looks like Polar Star I *think* uses a clear command that may clear the disk I/O kernel functions so loading of cassette would be fine but not from disk. Then ... I came across dsk2rom and that got me thinking - I bet a romed dsk wouldn't use the real kernel disk IO so maybe just maybe my defective hacked dsk would work once it was converted ... guess what ... it did :-) Polar Star as a ROM at last!

It'd be nice to be able to share this rom but I'm not sure what the correct etiquette is - I've tried contacting MicroCabin before and never had any joy so I can't really ask for permission to do so, but it'd be nice for more people to play a good ol classic]]> physcopanda Generation MSX Sat, 15 Mar 2014 08:24:11 +0100 https://forums.generation-msx.nl/read.php?6,8625,8625#msg-8625 https://forums.generation-msx.nl/read.php?6,8625,8625#msg-8625 www.generation-msx.nl]

I'd like to contribute a bunch of box photos and cart scans that I've got sitting around, but a few questions have come up and I feel like I could make a few suggestions for improvements so people wouldn't hit the same stumbling blocks I am.

After talking to Manuel and some others in #openmsx on IRC, it seems the guidelines are rather loose (ie. "upload what you can, we want more media!"), but none the less, some guidelines to image uploads could stand to go in the FAQ. Things like "photos are ok, but actual box scans are preferred", target resolutions for images (or at least lower boundaries maybe), formats, etc. Oh, and a definition of "complete" would probably help. Manuel explained it's a fully unfolded slipcover, but I would have possibly considered it to be a picture of the box and everything inside (like a spread of the box, manual, cart/disk, any additional contents).

On the user side of things, when submitting a cover shot we only have five options, and from what I understand, they might be different from what the backend recognises, so this paragraph of feature suggestion might double as a bug report (if so, sorry about that). When submitting a cover image, my options are: front, back, side, complete, manual. I have cart scans, but I'm assuming with the exception of manual, the others refer to a box. I've been trying to think of other ways to represent the menu for choosing what type of image the user is submitting and I keep going back to VGMdb. I'm not at home right now, so I'll try and get a screenshot up of that as soon as I can.

Regardless, it would probably be useful to be able to submit front/back/side of both box and at least front/top of the (or multiple) media, as well as possibly submitting scans of the entire manual, and perhaps the registration card or stickers or anything else that may have come in the box. I'm told the current types of cover scans are not stored as freeform strings and I don't know how hard it would be to let the user specify their scans as such, or if that is desired.

Anyway, please feel free to correct me if any of this information is wrong / not representative of your goals for the site. Just trying to be helpful and figure out if there's anything I *shouldn't* upload. =]]]> UnixGameRocker Generation MSX Tue, 06 Dec 2011 23:01:12 +0100 https://forums.generation-msx.nl/read.php?6,7001,7001#msg-7001 https://forums.generation-msx.nl/read.php?6,7001,7001#msg-7001 Anonymous Generation MSX Mon, 03 May 2010 20:40:14 +0200 https://forums.generation-msx.nl/read.php?6,7081,7081#msg-7081 https://forums.generation-msx.nl/read.php?6,7081,7081#msg-7081 Edit: But it works properly when I click on the option under the "help us" field.]]> Blaming Halo Generation MSX Sun, 25 Apr 2010 13:35:20 +0200 https://forums.generation-msx.nl/read.php?6,6671,6671#msg-6671 https://forums.generation-msx.nl/read.php?6,6671,6671#msg-6671 User8 Generation MSX Thu, 21 Jan 2010 19:43:09 +0100 https://forums.generation-msx.nl/read.php?6,6451,6451#msg-6451 https://forums.generation-msx.nl/read.php?6,6451,6451#msg-6451 will happen in the next days.
