Removing Intros

Some guy made a collection of single file .prg's without intros (for loading speed):

Perfect for RR-Net!

The moderators have been trying to help you understand stuff since post 1.

Quoting MagerValp
As much as I love intros, SID music, and the scene, I still think that games are best preserved with the copy protection removed and a nice fastloader, but nothing else added. Intros and trainers can be added as a separate load for those of us that want it.
I'm with you there, except some games require a few bug-fixes and patches, while the go-to game medium these days would be a cartridge. =)

The most controversial part of this thread was probably that Raistlin confessed to having friends outside of the scene.

Yes, and the boards are meaningless too, as well as specific loaders and floppies - just go cartridge with everything - hell, why even stop there: Mega64 is coming, let's move there. Or even better. I heard there are new computers that have much more colours and memory than even the Amiga! Why not move there? I also think some demos have parts I don't like, long bitmap scrollers and stuff. Can't we just cut these parts out, and release them in a form we like? Noone would notice. It's easy now with Youtube, anyway.

Settle down, Marv, take another pill.

When gaming on an original realthing C-64, nothing beats zero loading times. And you know i love playing around with disk drives otherwise. Just my 2 cents. :)

we could debate if those who think to be sceners but have friends outside the scene are considered sceners or not.

What about those of us who don't have friends in or outside the scene?
