WOW!I don't know who this kind person is, but his support is enough to purchase several paid Next games.Although, I still don't know when I'll start studying them in detail, as new games and apps are released regularly, and that's because not all of Simon's files have been processed yet.
Hello from Finland, your Excel is great work. So much information and links packed to one file. I was once upon time owner of ZX81, and Spectrum 48K, now KS2 and soon KS3. Good memories, and this file helps with adventures with KS-Next machines
Wow!!! Two more people liked the spreadsheet, although it's far from final. Thank you for your trust; it gives me more room to maneuver. I'll definitely write about where I'm investing these funds.
In theory, ZZap and Fusion magazines shouldn't have anything to do with Next, so I won't rush to support them on Kickstarter.
I could consider supporting Duefectu Corp, Happy Coding, em00k's Crew, and Mike Dailly on Patreon to gain access to some restricted resources, or buy digital versions of Retro Format / Eight Bit magazines. It's a bit pricey, but they supported Next, and in addition to reviews, you can use the listings to build another game that's not yet in the database.
Congrats and thanks for your effort to ducument Next eco system! Just curious if you plan to add the spreadsheet data into the existing ZXDB database system?
Hi, thank you very much for your question. The table is being built with the potential for automation. I haven't looked at the structure of the ZXDB yet, but I think I can generate data for export. Two things are holding me back right now: 1. Genres. This is a time-consuming task, as I need to study the ZXDB's genre structure and then investigate each game. 2. New additions. I'm still finding lost games and utilities, and I'm tired of wondering when they'll all run out.
You are right. Looking at the ZXDB, it is a very sophisticated but complex setup. If you are willing to get help from AI that could cut down the time substantially or create a temporary DB + website in Lovable?
I wouldn't want to spread the data across different websites, because it would only make things more confusing... Ideally, I'd update the ZXDB.It would be even better to update the information on the official website specnext.com.But honestly, I don't even know when I'll get around to it, because I'm still finding games and utilities. And this is just a collection of data and files, I haven't even started studying them yet...
I honestly didn't expect anyone to buy the database. I'm very pleased. I'll have enough money to buy and study one of the digital versions of Next's games on ichi.io. Or gain access to the restricted files on Patreon. In any case, it's a start, and that's great. It looks like this process won't be over anytime soon :)
I supported Crash Magazine on Patreon.I'm currently reviewing the magazines to add the necessary information to the database.I've already looked through the Next magazines, and now it's time for the Crash magazines.I have paper copies, but it's easier to read on screen, so I'll download the ones from Patreon.

Thanks for the feedback; I'm a big Spectrum fan too. I can promise these aren't the last changes, there will be more to come.

Supported Duefectu Corp, em00k's Crew, and Mike Dailly. I'll support someone else over time, it just takes time to learn new material.

Oh I see. Good luck! Looking forward the next update.

Your software collection also impressed me from the very first minute.
