Tags for fixing...
Maybe we should decided on some standard how to tag fixed cracks to make them easier to find in a search & to get some consistancy in the database.
I think I've seen the following variations this far:
1) [pal/ntsc]
2) [Pal/Ntsc]
3) [PAL/NTSC]
4) [ntsc/pal]
5) [Ntsc/Pal]
6) [NTSC/PAL]
7) [Fix]
8) [FX]
I personally use & prefer #1

Complications....
"fix" USA term, meaning euro game was ntsc-fixed
"pal-fix", meaning USA game was pal-fixed
geeze was so easy then, no wonder i wouldn't align myself during the Amiga daze. |

Hmmm I find it more neat to do it like in the old days.
F = fix
(if it was bug-fixed or pal-fixed or something needing ellaboration, that should be done in the comments field anyway).
While we're at it:
D = Docs
E = Editor Included
F = Fix
H = Hi-score Saver installed
I = IDE64 fixed
R = REU support
T = Translation
100% = When no other cracked version works, if your fixing someone else's crack or fixing an error in your own release
101% = If the first fix still has flaws, this can continue. I recall even seeing 102% and 103% versions before it was finally done right.
Gamename- = Gamename Preview
Over the years things have changed a little, # has been docs but it is also picture file in the directory. M has symbolised mega version but also means trainers that can be used ingame.
I prefer the above system, which has been used for years now, as it looks simple and neat.

Yep. It sure was. Along with some things that we still use and other things we no longer use. I guess F is packed better than FIX or FX.
These days we have better packers. ;) |

D for docs?
Sorry but I won´t use that.
It has close to always been # for me and I think everybody knows what it means.
Pictures have been ´arrow up´ or % or (..),quite a mess.
Oh,when I see an `I´,IFFL comes to mind.
Why is there not something short for that? ;) |

Heheh IFFL in itself is an acronym, so abbreviating an acronym from say IFFL to I would suck ;)

His this been standardized yet? There should be rules added to the Cracking Standards. Added features to a crack should have universal symbols.
Proposed additions:
B = bugfix
O = a crack that has been crunched to one disk side
C = a preview that has been completed
As it used to be in the old scene, only if a game was actually fixed and contains a $02A6 subroutine with a template (Compatible with both NTSC and Pal systems), was it referred to as (NTSC/Pal)
Logically though, if it started out as a Pal game and was NTSC fixed, it would be (Pal/NTSC)
Visa versa if a game was originally programmed on an NTSC machine and Pal fixed it would be (NTSC/Pal)
