Massive thanks to Remy Sharp for his brilliant .http (https://github.com/remy/next-http) and zxdb.remysharp.com ZXDB proxy
No I didn't create NextBestNetwork as the Kickstarter update stated, NextBestNetwork was created by the awesome D Xalior Rimron-Soutter (https://www.nextbestnetwork.com/wos/)
Without the D and Remy none of this would have been possible, I just wrote the front end client.
Boriel for his ZX Basic Compiler which the browser was written in. (https://github.com/boriel/zxbasic) with NextBuild (https://github.com/em00k/NextBuild)
Next ZXDB-dl search
If you get corruption when loading and you had a previous version try deleting c:\sys\zxdb.cfg
How to use:
Copy the two folders to the root of your Next SD card :
- zxdb-dl
- dot
Connect to your wifi using the wifi.bas supplied on the next distro this can be found in demos\esp\wifi2.bas - note you only need to configure your wifi once, each power on the esp should automatically re-connect.
-
Using the browser, Go into the zxdb-dl folder
-
Launch zxdb-loader.bas
-
If connection is successful you should see a search prompt. Enter a search term
to find result. eg manic*miner
You can then select a file to download or search for a new term.
The search works with "starts with", all spaces must be replace with an asterix, eg : "target renegade" should be entered as "target*renengade"
zxdb-dl can than lauch your download if preffered, or you can choose to do another seach.
Sometimes a download will fail and zxdb-dl will attempt 4 times before giving up, these can happen for a number of reasons and hopefully as time goes on this will improve.
