Site news

May updates (2019-05-16)

Just released the new search page, now accessible via an orange link on the right side of the usual search page.
All the features are kept but should be easier to hide/show features.
Also, in the platform selector you can type to filter the platforms list, and typing a brand, i.e. sony, will show all PlayStation models.
If no issues arise, it will shortly replace the old page.

End of february updates (2019-02-21)

The main news about february had to be the new search page, but the need to switch to a new server came suddenly, and left no choice but to work on this.
After solving some problems with the different versions of PHP related to the migration, the search page will be finished.
