In what format should I upload releases?

When I upload a release to CSDb, what is the prefered format? If it's just a singlefile crack/demo it seems more logical to just upload the PRG, but then I have to rip apart spread disks.

But if I upload the whole D64, it's possible that there's other stuff on the disk too, so when you autostart the D64 you will get something else than expected.

What's the best way?

File Format;
Anything you can run straight off any c64/pc without having to unrar/zip. D64/t64/prg is apreciated!

Torrent; Good, all needed is some people to share bandwidth and harddiscspace. Thumbs up!

Trazan, ok! I'll not zip d64 files from now on unless it's 2-sided or bigger releases.

I disagree, I always zip .d64 files !

Follow this basic rule, Zyron and other use it too:

One file release in a .t64
multi-load in a .d64

Please please please no .t64 .. ever since I installed a new winvice I can't get that format associated with it (even though .prg & .d64 work fine). And as this is TDJ's csdb (go ask Graham) I think it should be obvious nobody uses .t64 anymore.

After all, you don't want me to start up winvice and actually have to drag & drop the file, do you?

Yes, but it seems my system is on the fritz or something, because it used to work fine. No biggy, I need to reinstall XP soon anyway.

I don't see the problem, I use VICE 1.22 and it's loading
the .t64 files without any problems with autostart...

TDJ, assuming you are using a pc with dutch windows:

rightclick a .t64 file -> eigenschappen

in tabblad 'algemeen' you'll see 'openen met'

If it's not associated with any program you'll see 'onbekende toepassing'

T64 might be associated with another program or even with a previous version of vice your computer cant find because it's not there, or filename changed, or whatever.

Hit 'wijzigen' and re-asign it to your current version of winvice.

that might actually help ;)

*edit* if that doesn't work, assign .t64 to for instance notepad or kladblok it's called in dutch (sigh.. hehe), double click a .t64 -> should open in notepad. Then re-assign it again to your version of vice. I had the same unexplainable bug with another piece of software once and managed to 'reset' it like that.
