Release id #158909 : Quad Core 100%
On 17th of september the 100% version is posted. I am sure there was a party-release last week, with a bunch of comments. That is now deleted?
Wasn't this site about preservation of all? |

It was changed to release type "Related Release" for some reason - prolly because a real binary doesn't exist or simply is not provided, only a recording - and CSDb normal mode view doesn't include this type of release. One can customize CSDb view mode in user settings, check Custom types to everything and then set Custom mode, it will pop up in searches.

This also brings up a question of different treatment for that entry and Arise's Pro Memoria 3 entry, which was deleted because the demo only exists as a video
Pro Memoria 3 (96%)

IMHO the original release should be kept (w/o download) to document the party version. This has happened before, with pre-releases for party compos, which were not spread as binaries.
For that reason, the Pro Memoria 3 should be restored as well, even if there is no download available. |

but it IS being kept - only the release type was (quite correctly so) changed. the "party version" was a video - as explained by the creator in the comments. and obviously a video isnt "c64 demo" :) |

But a video of a C64 demo...?
Or a party version that was not released as binary should be re-labeled as well then? Because it would be just a "memoy of the spectators", which isn't a C64 demo either. :) |

"c64 demo" applies to actual c64 demos, not videos of them, not pictures of them. its that simple. |

But shouldn't Pro Memoria 3 be also reactivated as an entry, e.g. as "C64 Misc."? I remember they released a video cap of the demo later togehter with some kind of Arise DVD-collection... |

No it's not I am afraid. As I wrote, there have been quite a number of demos shown at parties, but not released as binaries until later (or not at all). That has nothing to do with whatever further info, be it videos, pictures or whatever, is posted together with the release entry. And that does not turn them into whatever else.
It could be argued that the download here is reserved for binaries ony, but then the solution is to put the link to the video into comments, and not change the release type.
At least that's what I think. |
