You can upload the package at the Archive, and then let me know you've done it and we'll get it working.

Done:

Also there was a couple of errors. After following the instructions at:
(https://blog.archive.org/2015/05/08/making-your-dos-programs-live-again-at-the-internet-archive).

The online emulation metadata was not saved for some reason. Moreover after adding it later on the emulation still doesn't work.

At the same time the software was added to the collection "open_source_software" without asking me to do so, and I'm unable to choose a different one. Simply the field appears to me as not editable.

If it was me I would make those processes obvious, and mistake proofed, in the web form itself.

Thanks ;)

Additionally in:
(https://archive.org/details/mission-critical)

You would want to edit the description to recommend the new version for common usage, as the original one there is very hard to setup. As seen in:

This is not your fault and I'm sorry we don't make it clear, but having spaces in filenames confuses the emulator. I've renamed it to "Mission_Critical.zip" instead of "Mission Critical.zip" and it appears to be working. I'm screenshotting as we speak.

It still doesn't work:

I cannot reproduce it using the locally installed Dosbos, so it's likely something in the server side.

Jason I reply this post because I don't know another way to contact with you. It's possible to contact with you as private message or some other system?

First of all I wanted to thank your work as uploader. I collect old adverts of computer games and thanks to you I have been able to get many at 600 dpi, from the magazines Crash and ZZap! 64.

I would like to know if you have plans to upload 600 dpi other collections such as C + VG, Amstrad Action, Your Sinclair, etc., which you scanned previously at 150 dpi.

Thanks a lot mate :)

Thanks for your interest and enjoyment of the collections.

I am not the scanner of old magazines, these were done by driven and committed people over the years. Some of these scans are notably old and are of very low dpi, compared to others done at a later time. It is my hope people will be inspired to re-scan magazines of an older vintage and bring up versions that will be at the archive at that time.

Hi Jason
I have a game that is not in the collection. I have uploaded it to the archive but cannot get it into the ZX Spectrum Games collection. How do I do that? This is the link to the game https://archive.org/details/Ghoulies_201711

Thanks in advance,
Mike

I've made your program bootable and will also put it into the collection.

I saw that you posted songs by the local band "forever the way" back in 2012. I know its been a while but some of the files seem to not work or are cut real short. They were one of my favorite local bands and I have been trying to find anywhere to download their music (unfortunately I lost their CD years ago). Any chance you still have it?

Thanks for your kind and quick reply Jason.

I'ts a very good thing that in these materialistic times, with a total domination of the commercial lobbies, there are initiatives like this website, where you can share culture and knowledge for free. Amazing

So, I hope It's possible share better scans in the future.

Greetings.

Hello Jason,

I've also want to convey my appreciation for your immense collection and uploads. And I don't know any other way to contact you except like this.

I have benefited greatly from your efforts, especially the arcade games.

For some reason, on my end, the arcade game Mr. Do! doesn't work anymore. Do you happen to know why and can it be fixed?

Here is the link.

Radhodad,

I had problems too. I discovered, as of now, the only way Mr. Do! works on my computer is via Chrome Incognito window.

Several days ago, it was not working on Chrome (very, very, slow) and the only browser it would work on then was on FireFox Private window. Now FireFox (regular or private) doesn't work and Chrome Incognito is the only way...today.

It doesn't work at all in IE.

I noticed this coincided with the Net Neutrality ruling. I wonder if this is the things to come.

What can we do?

I assumed Jason had something to do with it working on 1 of my browsers. Perhaps we can notify him again and maybe he can shed some light on the problem.

Mr. Do! is my go to relaxation. I guess the advertisers don't like it.

Thanks SE. Mr Do is the only video game I enjoy. I have no talent for fixing tech problems. I hope Jason can fix it. Radhodad
