dentro/onefile demo/intro/crack intro
what's the difference between dentro, onefile demo and intro?
i believe i know the difference between an intro and a crack intro but hundreds of crack intros are marked here as intros so i'm puzzled about it too. |

Dentro = Trackmo-esque demo but in 1 single file
Onefile Demo = Single screener or a press space demo in 1 file
Intro = Small dentro :)
Crack intro = intro infront of a cracked game |

oh, I thought a dentro is a large intro, but too small to be a demo :) |

ok,the line between dentro and onefile demo should be rather clear but intro=small dentro is a joke. how can i figure out if a dentro is small enough to be an intro? anyway the vast majority of intros in the database are crack intros and no one seems to do anything about it. |

crack intro is the same as intro to me. Where else would you wanna put an intro? If it's in front of a demo, it becomes part of a dentro. |

Well, it is a thin line if it comes to intros and dentros on the C64, I guess. On platforms with >64kB it is more clearer.
Indeed, crack intros are often added as intros in this database and IMO that is totally wrong.
To be honest, I don't give a flying fuck anymore of the csdb database integrity. But that's a whole different story/thread. |

It's up to its creator to call it a dentro or an intro. The term "dentro" has more hipness I guess. Like, "hmm, I did this demo and it's a kind of lame but I still wouldn't like to degrade it to the "intro" level so I'll just call it a dentro" |

An intro is just one screen made to introduce something, a mag for example.
Cracktro is a terrible word but is an intro made to be put infront of cracks.
A dentro is a demo in one file consisting of several screens that move on without any interaction needed from the watcher, IMO it should only be used if it's stated to be a dentro.
A one-file demo is a demo in one file, it can be a press-space-demo with several parts or the parts go on by themselves (like in a dentro) or simply just one part but said to be a demo, otherwise it might also be an intro. :)
Crystal clear. ;) |

"dentro" is just like "cracktro" a terrible term invented by the amiga scene, they shouldnt be here at all, IMHO.
however - the original meaning is something along the lines of "preview of something which will at some point become a full demo". it later became a synonym for "one file demo with a trackmoish feel".
and please dont ever use "intro" for "small demo". thats just retarded. leave that to the pc scene =P |
