Removing Intros
Some guy made a collection of single file .prg's without intros (for loading speed):

Without the "Perfect for RR-Net!" quote actually judging the "releases" there I would have taken the initial post as informational.
With it in mind I'd rather vote for a rupy ban! How dare you?!
This place is all about credits (and made up credits for which the binary is just/still/forever missing)!
With some bad retroPie setups even the space key isn't mapped easily to the attached controller. You may like the crap linked up there whenever utilising something alike but just noting the existence here is sure demonishing.
Sigh ... "sceners" ... ?!?!? |

so indeed, it deserves an entry in the db. |

As much as I love intros, SID music, and the scene, I still think that games are best preserved with the copy protection removed and a nice fastloader, but nothing else added. Intros and trainers can be added as a separate load for those of us that want it. |

@Count Zero For someone who has worked on the RR-Net stuff I'm surprised to see you react negatively about someone celebrating single file .prgs to the point of banning because I don't want to press N many times and/or RUN/STOP every time I start a game? |

CSDb is a C64 scene database, with emphasis on scene. Here we try to gather as much information and as many releases as possible from the C64 scene.
Even if some like to think of it as their playground, or want to try to stretch the limits for what's supposed to be here and not; that is not the main purpose of this site. And you know that.
Try to do something productive instead. |

As long as you cant define what is "scene" and what is not - thats quite a statement >_< |

@Zyron It's hard to do something productive when I don't know how yet. Getting banned is not going to improve that situation. As for the scene, it is what you make it; specially when you are moderators; you are supposed to help people, not threaten them. |

IMHO this topic boils down to "sceners would not propagate recracks".
You are required to press some keys to run pirated free software without copy protection and with sometimes added value? Wow! Thats blatant really - put the codewheels back in! |

The moderators have been trying to help you understand stuff since post 1. |

Quoting MagerValpAs much as I love intros, SID music, and the scene, I still think that games are best preserved with the copy protection removed and a nice fastloader, but nothing else added. Intros and trainers can be added as a separate load for those of us that want it. I'm with you there, except some games require a few bug-fixes and patches, while the go-to game medium these days would be a cartridge. =) |
