Release id #102925 : Legion's Intro

<sigh>

Stop using .prg files, I'm getting tired of this, I keep on removing them, instead of somebody just doing it right from the start ;(

I suggest next time using a "survey maker" that also displays the results afterwards :)

D64 is the way to go!

Modern C64 setups have no problems running RPG files directly without having them on a D64 image first; in fact it's often nothing but an extra step when running the thing. That said it's a minor inconvenience; I think putting onefilers on a D64 is ok in the larger scheme of things, especially if you want to have some directory art.

I don't have any "original filename" to preserve on my own releases, so that point is moot for me. If you want to know what the filename would be if I had made the release as a D64 image instead, just start up c1541, format a new D64 image and copy the PRG file onto it without any specific parameters.

sometimes on older files the group-abbreviation is written behind the releasename...this could be interesting for finding other stuff from the same group. when copying only prg files you might lose this information.

I usually name the files like "This Is Demo Name - The Sharks" or "Something Something - ARS" :)

okay, but then you loose the correct abbreviation f.e. [c] or <C> .i'm sure you got all the stuff you upload from real disks or real d64-files, so why don't you keep the d64 as it is and upload it?
