new release type "c64dtv release" ?
as shown in the goof info to Space Taxi +DTV-Samplefixed ppl start adding stuff that for one reason or the other are inferior to "real" c64 releases because they were "fixed" to work with the c64dtv - make a new cathegory? |

Yeah, adding some new catagories would be quite nice.
Like MMC64 Fix, IDE64 Fix and C64DTV Demo.
Esspecially the last one will be an issue for 2006.
The DTV is surfacing everywhere in Europe now and I expect some productions for it really soon.

maybe instead of adding a bunch of new cathegories the database could be reorganized into having main- and sub- cathegories... |

I think DTV qualifies as a new "platform", so an own category for it is justified. But IDE and MMC are extensions to the c64; if they have a category, then there could be one for the AR, RR, FC3, 1581, FD2000... naaah. |

maybe making it "attributes" which are attached to every release would be a better idea.... so for all the stuff mentioned (ar,fc3,mmc64,ide64,4player adapter, reu etc blabla) there would be a checkbox in the release edit dialog.... that way you could later easily search for all mmc64 fixes, or all programs that support a reu...etc (i sometimes wish i could do that for stuff that uses the ar ram) |

I like Groepaz idea of main- and subcategories. Would be great to have the checkbox with all the REU proggies... |

"MMC64 fixes" here so far have been onefiled games. Should all one-file demos, tools, cracks etc. be tagged as MMC64 & IDE64 fixed? If that's the case then I want C2N232 & Silversurfer fixed categories as well...
What I'm trying to say is that releases shouldn't be tagged as "XYZ compatible" just because they manage to work with that hardware without crashing, they should utilize it as well. |

Good point.
So to make a long story short, only a "C64DTV Demo" category would be needed.

i dont agree with that. that particular version of space taxi for example has a sample-fix specially for the dtv (and it sounds worse than the original on a real c64). also a checkbox "works on mmc64" or "works on ide64" makes equal sense to me as "uses reu" or "uses ar". it doesnt *matter* if it accidently works with mmc64 because its onefiled anyway here - what matters is the additional value of having the thing tagged like this for easier searching. |
