Separate Game/Cracks from every thing else
here on CSDb they should separate games/cracks from everything else. When i hit lastest releases i have to skip though all the game stuff.Cracks, re cracks, it does not interest me so much. |

How do you mean seperate, cracks were a part of the scene.

so if they were part of the scene an option to filter them out is not possible? I like the idea, as I am not much interested in the cracking scene either. |

Yes, and eventhough the scene was one, games and demos are generally viewed as two different kinds of entities. Since there often are more versions than one of a crack and other data to be interested in (eg. maker of the game, gamecompany, firstrelease, etc.) it should be handled totally different from the demoreleases.
Take the entry "Killer Games" for instance. That Stormfront has made an introlinked repack of it is virtually of no interest, but i'm kind of curious who made the game itself and I would be interested in comparing it to eventual other versions. CSDb isn't really suited for cracks at the moment, and eventhough I accept it and use it - I don't like the system as it looks now.
I totally agree. Games and cracks should be a part of CSDb, but should be sorted and viewed in a different way than demorelated stuff. |

Well I am sure Perff can make a filter for everybody to use that will allow you to switch off seeing cracks or something like that.

I'd rather like a system with a gametitle as an umbrella and versions sorted out under it. I'd also like the handling of importgroups to be entered in another way. A possible entry for special info on the crack, so that you don't have to see that in the title, like amount of trainers, 100%, 101%, firstrelease and so on. Would like to be getting this after a search:
Vendetta, 1990, System 3.
Programmer: Stan Schembri
Musician: Matt Gray
(Link to Gamebase64 or other external source)
(Search at Pokefinder)
Versions on CSDb:
Vendetta by Genesis Project
Vendetta by Best Cracking Team, Chaos
Vendetta by Extacy, Rival
Vendetta by Ikari+Talent (International Network of Chaos)
Vendetta by Fairlight
Vendetta by Censor Design |

what Twoflower suggested would be very nice indeed. I am all for it. |

But the game itself isn't a scene release, so there shouldn't be any information about it really? |

I like to keep up with seeing the lastest demo, graphic and audio releases, but all too often i see them lost in a sea of cracks/re-cracks :(
There could be a 3rd division to. The 3rd division would house files that cannot be run on a C64 (scanned disk covers, PC graphic converters, documents and other such items).

No, the game itself isn't a scene-release, but would act as the umbrella keeping together and sorting the scenereleases of the same title. I'd say that f.ex Vendetta is a scene-release when there exists 5+ versions of it on the CSDb. |

Yeah I'm just trying to gauge the current level of purism here. :) Name only of course wouldn't be too much information, releaseyear and maybe publisher OK too, but coder/graphician/musician might be pushing it... |
