Scene DVD
I have started to create a scene dvd, what i am hoping to do is create a dvd full of c64 scene release (demos, magazine, tools) where each release is a d64 image so that you can run them straight from the dvd.
to do this, i will need some help, not just in collection all the releases, but in converting them into d64 images.
what would you recommend for converting p00 and the other file formats into d64 images (PC please).

I think we may have overlooked one small, but inportant thing. where are are going to store the files, as Jazzcat pointed out he is posting me 6 DVD's of files, thats around 20gigs of data, add to that all of our own collections and we will be talking about quite a sizable chunk.
I have a dell server sitting in my spare room which i should be able to connect to the net, i also have 2x60gig, 1x160gig, 1xDVD writer & 1xCD-RW writer sitting doing nothing so i think that might be the way forward.
currently i'm on a 768mg connection, but if i pay £10 more each month, i can get a 2mg one. I think that its justified in that matter. The only drawback is that the server has linux installed and i've only scratched the serface of this os, although i do know that it can be configured remotely.

wreg wrote me he wants to store files, i don't know how much space it is..
I have 250 GB fundrive.
If needed, we can split something up in 2 places, and try and find a gigaserver sometimes later.. ?

20Gb of scene demo's only??
That is about 120525 disc D64 files? Is that a realistic figure or is it just the unsorted non de-double'd raw material??

i think that xxgb includes games and stuff also ...
and yes many doubles, though if all goes well, we will sort out the good stuff only
in the end you will have a nice collection including each demo only once ;)
nevertheless we need much help sorting the stuff !!
we'll see how fast we can give you first results :)) |

Yep, pretty much what Wreg said. There is doubles. There is demos, cracks, EVERYTHING that is C64. Including scans of paper art. C64 songs converted to mp3, interviews with famous sceners in mpeg etc etc etc. the bulk of this 26.3 or so GB of stuff is C64 d64 images, zipped.
Will send a copy to Case for the archive (preservation!).
The winner of X2004 Demo Competition also receives this as a gift from me (seeing as customs won't let me bring other presents that I would like to ;)) |

I have just looked back at my original post and noticed i had propsed to include magazine & tools. I don't in all honesty think this will be worthwhile. JAZZCAT has done the most amazing job with the mags so i dont want to take anything away from him on that.
Tools, well i for one would prefer to use the space for demos only, unless there is an exception (eg. krestology tools etc)
and finally, this is slightly off-topic (by a small mile) what distro of linux would anyone recommend for the server, i'm willing to wipe the entire thing and there's no way in hell i will install a windows server unless its a total and utter absolute final utter last option. |
