Release id #205500 : Freespin
Allow me to comment on some tech details here, as i don't have an FB account to comment on the blog.
Great idea about the table-less 3:2 GCR-compliant codec to have maximum spare space for actual payload effect code. =)
(But table sizes of traditional decoding schemes aren't all that big, really.) |

Good idea to have a "C64 on steroids" category!
One's tempted to just use the already existing "REU"-category for it right away, but I pretty much assume the mods won't accept such a friendly takeover ;) So we'll have to wait for upcoming wonders... |

Quoting Zyron
How is it not a C64 demo?
It's possible to argue both sides. It *is* a demo, and it runs on the original C64 hardware.
But most C64 demo compos don't allow modification of (or even non-trivial interaction with) the hardware. And at Gubbdata, where it was released, freespin wasn't part of the demo compo, either, for that very reason. |

Quoting Groepazmod the launcher so it loads itself via &-file ... :=) Still needs a load command issued via serial bus, no? :) |

We already have "Related release" - with one binary and two entries overall so far. Fill that up :)
Also looking at bugjam and Bigfoot for content on Tom & Jerry |

sure, but anything that connects to it could issue that command... even zoomfloppy or sth :) |

When it comes to CSDb categories I think C64 Demo is perfectly valid for this. |
