Best Format to distribute demos etc?
I've recently retrieved my C64 (and 300+ floppies from the loft) and have found a whole load of music, demos etc from 1988 - 1992 that I'm sure people would be interested in.
So, not that I've got my hands on a XM1541 cable and can transfer all this stuff to the PC, what are everyone's preferences for the way to distribute this stuff?
Obviously if it's a multi-part demo, then it's obvious that you just use a .d64 disk image...
But what about small stand alone files... music with players etc? Just distribute the .prg or what?
Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks for all the feedback - I guess .d64 is the way to go! ;-)
Did a massive transfer session last night and it appears that there are more damaged discs than I thought. Found quite a bit of my stuff that hasn't ever seen the light of day though!
A follow on question then...
When adding releases to the CSDb.. do you upload the same .d64 for everything on the same disc or is it best practice to create separate .d64's for each?
Thanks again for the comments. |

Greetings Bizzmo,
it is possible to upload a D64 once and then give all the programs the same download link.
Most people prefer it this way and it saves you a lot of time. |

Quote: I'm sure the VICE people had docs on which zip plugig/application could be installed and configured so WinVICE could handle zipped D64s. I did hav it working once until I updated WinVICE a few times and got lazy.
So stop being lazy, find out how it's done and tell us!!
(Yes, I'm even lazier than you) |

I would also be very grateful if you could find out.

Pfah, I could give you numerous examples of why I'm lazier than you, but I just can't be bothered, that's how lazy I am. |

Bizzmo: d64 is nice. But winzipped d64 is even cooler.
Loking forward to your uploads!
By the way, do you have old paper mags? Like Iguana, Nails etc?

I have no paper mags now. I used to have a massive stack of them, but my dad made me throw them all out many many years ago! sorry! |

Damn, what a pity! So hard to find them and preserve them.
We must preserve! :)
