@syn I don't have denyonet or obsonet.
But feel free to adapt my program to this device.
If you need information about what type of request to send to the server and what are the answers, let me know.

With GR8NET is quite easy to do "MSX Appstore" !

It should be an impressive feature to buy digital games for MSX directly from MSX

UPDATE

Thanks to Vampier (member of this forum) I was able to update my database with really interesting data !
Now I'm using SHA1 file hash to identify rom file on the server side. It's better to identify mapper to use.

MSX Program also received a minor update : http://www.ebsoft.fr/msx/gr8net/rombase.bas

More updates coming...

Wow, just installed it. Works great! Fine job Eric.

Only issue is that when I try to save the BAS file locally and run it I get an illegal function call on line 3030. Using http to download and run the BAS file somehow does work.

Some suggestions:

1. Make a a menu where you can scroll or point to the results with the mouse and/or keyboard (NOP mod player uses a method for that for example)
2. Maybe DSK support?

Is it also possible to use my own collection and run my own gross through my mySQL server I have running on my private server?
