Hello, i will do it.
Wanted to work on the other stuff first, but however.
There is no need to rage quit.
It took me a long time to come back to this topic, but please try to understand that things need time.
If people would be raging to not fullfiled promises of all the politicians the world would be burning.
Cheers.

Please could you elaborate?

Okay, i will add a subsystem option where other supported systems can be listed as well.
Such discs will also appear in the disc search in all the listed systems incl. the main one,
as well as in all the datfiles which qualify for that (if this is what we want?).

This will affect all the hybrid discs, which will have to be updated (note to me: probably requires a new form and listing table).

Statistics page will remain unchanged, listing only the main system.

Hi Robot. It's been several months and I've input a few discs successfully in the database since. Are you still planning on adding a form of subsystem entry so I don't have to buy 2-4 copies of same disc?

Hi.

Is implementation of subsystem listing available now? I understand it is not *snap of a finger* to do. I'm not programming wizard.

Is there anyone actually making discs with ARM Mac software? Because ARM Macs were released last year and they don't have a disc drive.

No idea, just named all the known CPU variants.

I don't know how I feel about them appearing in all dats, this will seriously bloat the Macintosh datfile in particular.

Mac needs to be split to 68k Mac, PPC Mac, x86 Mac, x64 Mac, ARM Mac. After that dats should look fine even with hybrids.

I feel relieved people won't have to buy 3 copies of The Horde which cost $210 each just to make an entry in PC98, then FM Towns, and then DOS/V.

Boxes are different for these, so they need to be bought separately in any case (we've already dumped FMT and PC98 releases, though).

Apologies on double post.

Can you post here once it's updated?

Thank you. I will continue to purchase and preserve these rare systems I promise

I will ask someone, after this is implemented, if they can edit entries I've already submitted and update them accordingly.
