dentro/onefile demo/intro/crack intro
what's the difference between dentro, onefile demo and intro?
i believe i know the difference between an intro and a crack intro but hundreds of crack intros are marked here as intros so i'm puzzled about it too. |

i am not harrasing you. quite the contrary, you are making another offtopic posts which should simply be deleted.
as for the cathegories, we are discussing it, and we will probably come up with a better, more fine grained system, not only a single "release type". |

Oswald. Please, stop harassing Groepaz!
Also stop image-harassing poor users giving stupid questions (I don't mean this particular thread).

Anyway, I still think a onefiler deserves its own category.
have you read this thread atall? no one denies that a onefiler should have its category. the question is if it deserves its 3 own categories.
Groepaz: OK looking forward to it |

Yeah, sure I've read it. From what I reckon there were suggestions to group everything what's not a game under "demo", that's what I found a bit scary. Hence my post. ;-) |

no, we'll simply delete everything which isnt a game. starting with the sids!
the solution is so easy sometimes!

I think that one-file prods should be divided only by size:
- 256B Intro
- 1kB Intro
- 4kB Intro
- 16kB Intro - I suppose that most regular intros are about this file size thus 16kB category would suit them perfectly ;)
- all above and up to 64kB - One-file Demo
Simple enough? :) |

Quote: crack intro is the same as intro to me. Where else would you wanna put an intro? If it's in front of a demo, it becomes part of a dentro.
Hein was right, years ago: cracktros are a subset of intros, just like several other terrible (something)-tro types...like birthtros, for example.
Due to the fact that there are moooooore cracks than new groups per month, the term "cracktro" is much more around here.
Moreover, one distinctive fact about intros (like cracktros) should be highlighted comparing'em to onefiler in general: a someway lesser memory consumption is a valuable feature, in general. But this is fluffychatting, of course, you know... ;) |

Actually, we called them intros (on cracks) long before the demo part of whatever scene (amiga? pc?) glommed onto the name and forced a separation.
PS - the c64 doesn't have cracktros - head over to amiga/pc for that term |
