Where's the latest GamebaseZX (or Speccymania)

[Neo-Rio]

The old Dax links seem to have expired.

Any idea where to find it nowadays?

SpeccyMania v4 2013 by Sparky (2GB) - originally uploaded by Dax.

The pack also contains a very small update to version 4.5.
Which updated emulator scripts and GEMUS for changing the Spectaculator machine settings.
And a few screenshots added for the zxzvm adventures.

The script uses batch files to edit the Windows registry and might need you to run with admin rights for Win7.
Not tested with Win10.
If it doesn't work, you will need to edit the script and change the machine settings manually.
*The last used config is always saved to the Registry.

I always test, try to optimize before upload (if possible), because I like full automation. So it work properly - for sure. Also added missed entries for some 128k games, to run it with ZX 128 machine

The SpeccyMania v4.5 download above is incomplete or bad.
Part of the "RZX" EXTRAS folder is missing after extracting the 7z.
not sure if there are any other problems / missing files after the unpack?.

This is the complete RZX set.

Thanks for the RZX files .mad.

It looks like the "Solutions" folder in "Extras" is missing though.

When choosing manage emulators, it says:

can't find GEMUS.DAT

How can I solve this and be able to run the games

[.mad.]

Most GameBases do not come with a GEMUS.DAT
But do contain pre-configured emulators and emulators.ini file.

the GEMUS.DAT (if it existed) would create an "emulators.ini" file.
which you should already have.
check the paths to your gamebase install and emulator folder names.

emulators.ini
