Release id #53316 : Ikari & Talent Intro
mmmh its somehow getting out of hand. intros that werent released like this (single file, without a crack attached) shouldn't get a seperate entry. |

I think for intro entries (for intros not released as separate releases) to be of any use, the cracks that use that particular intro must have a link to that intro entry.
Otherwise, the credits still won't be accessible from the crack.
Furthermore converting the entries when/if a better system is deviced will be much hard labour.
This has been discussed earlier, and I basically agree with groepaz that we should wait a bit with this until we have worked out a system.
I do agree with rOuGh that it would be nice to have intro credits in one way or another. |

Quote: what pops up in that particular problem to me is also that I strongly support a checker flag if code/gfx/music etc. is originally done for the entry or ripped (like music and fonts)
This is a very good suggestion!

I wouldnt delete 'my' intro entries, because it's much easier to add information when there is a "new solution" with the information shared in them instead of going through all the releases again.
And yes, crack entries should be linked somehow to the intro credits. |

i think you underestimate the amount of work involved to fix this kind of stuff. it could be quite a task to fix info for even one intro properly (which means locating all releases the intro was used on manually, and crosslink all the entries with it).
why not simply move the intros further down your todo list and add more regular cracks? much more efficient, imho. |

Currently I'm going through cracks, but those I actually enter the intros from I have already added as cracks. ;) They are in some kinda A-Z order and I want to add intro credits as well into the database.
I don't underestimate the work, I just don't see why adding each info from the original release again should be less work.
After all, when browsing through the forums there are many discussions on how to do this and that, and sometimes the discussioners draw conclusions but nothing happens. Probably a lack of time of the database coder which I understand of course. Thumbs up for him anyhow. |

I added this Vision intro some years ago:
Vision Intro 1992
It should probably be deleted then. :/ Right or wrong.. Ray/VSN did the code, Wave/VSN the graphics and Zeus/VSN the music. I think, these info belongs in here - and it´s nice, that these old intros are at CSDb too.
