Scene DVD
I have started to create a scene dvd, what i am hoping to do is create a dvd full of c64 scene release (demos, magazine, tools) where each release is a d64 image so that you can run them straight from the dvd.
to do this, i will need some help, not just in collection all the releases, but in converting them into d64 images.
what would you recommend for converting p00 and the other file formats into d64 images (PC please).

I'm compiling a collection of DVDs for the winner of the X2004 demo competition. These DVDs will contain C64 wares, no FTP collections, but pure rare stuff and other people's collections.
So far I have 19GB of stuff, PACKED.
Some of it will be unsorted unfortunately as I have no time for that.
Case: waiting on your reply.

'demobase' is good enough, use of the frontend of gamebase should be easy as well, i never tried that but it was always my goal to someday fill a database which that gamebase frontend can use, perhaps with some little changes to he frontend itself, so it fits demos more that games |

Rambones: hahah, I'm mad, but believe me anyway :)
The collection is a lotta stuff not on the net and stuff like the collections of Bod, Code18, Hornet and many other people. If your at X2004 I can show you :) A pity "all" of it is not sorted, but over half of it is. Too big a task for my time-window.
Will send it all to Case for the site anyway.

Excellent, this is starting to take shape now.
for the website name thing, i think www.C64demos.org would be best.
for the releases i think we should have one dir for the "A" groups, one for "B" etc, and then each group should have its down directory. I like the nameing scheme as you said it is nice to watch history in the making and see how a group grows over the years. so "/Crest/19961007_We_Rule.D64" is cool.
Will we be having only D64 images ?, no prg or lnx files. maybe some T64 ? |

Wouldnt it be better to have like big groups as Crest, Blackmail, Horizon in the root and then a various with the rest? :)
Since, Im a collector myself (however just swedish productions) I'd like to participate, though, my time is right now limited. I think this is a good idea that I hope will be kept alive.
There is one problem with the "/Crest/19961007_We_Rule.D64" notation and that is when you have no clue which year the demo was released. No dates, no hints in scrollers etc. Would that be "/Crest/19YYMMDD_We_Rule.D64" then?
and my vote goes to d64 only. |

I would prefer d64 images aswell.
as for the date, we could always have a text file/excell/spreadsheet for each group listing all the demos and (if known) release dates etc, but that will make alot of work for some everyone, it will also take away valuable space from the purpose of the collection.

I suggested the same as Case writes, and about unknown dates, we just have to decide what to do.
19YYMD..... seems good.
The purpose is to make chronology where possible,
and also it then is very valuable for a fast database creation.
I think D64 is the best, because of filenames, I want them as they originally are. |

This seems good. I also agree with D64 only. This site should include everything except for MAGS and CRACKS.
Seems things are quite well good.
One day Mason will launch his CRACKS site, and there already exists http://mags.c64.org
So a good representation of our scene.
Preservation is the key. |
