The daily news! - how to get the whole stuff?
The CSDb is consultated daily by many users, some of them are posting packages of their stuff, others get old stuff and update the db and so on, what can I say a great community since the word FRIENDS ARE 4EVER was connected to the scene!
And of course overall new fresh prods come to us.
Due to my lazyness, lack of time and so on, I just give an eye to the prods some time. Days goes by and since I'm THE COLLECTOR I've to get the releases of about 1 year.
I wonder if there is a way to get a package of the day, week, month and so on .. a sort of ftp would be also nice like the friends at https://sh.scs-trc.net/
Any suggestion??

I have to agree with Groepaz...
I didn't accumulate my collection ranging from 1985 to the current day by asking for them. It required daily visits to this site. And of coz I had most of what was on my BBS from the day. To date, I've accumulated roughly 246,612 c64 files.. Roughly 30.9 GB of c64 files.
Most of which I haven't sorted through, but I upload what I don't see here. I think of it as having a backup of my files and I do share when I get a chance to. We suggest you do the same ;) |

well, this is a call to collectors: unite!
in 1995 there was 4 main collectors/rippers of sid, and nemesids was already in place (1 man organizing it all)
in 1996 HVSC was born and from there to 2000, there was hundreds of zip packs every week, flying into our mailboxes + we ripped outself like maniacs. the backlog was always 1000-2300 sids. just too many zips..
so we have what we wanted, the most complete collection possible to make.
so someone did the same, and gamebase64 is a reality.
so, its 2010, and there is no "demobase64"
this is very disappoiting.
because everybody sit there and make his own small/big collection, and dont work together and get organized.
this is very disappointing..
DO SOMETHING! :D |

Quoting E$Ga great community since the word FRIENDS ARE 4EVER was connected to the scene!
I hated that from the first moment. It's about competition damnit! Not about being partners in misfortune.
But about news-part.. There might be some diskmag in the future :) |

Hey, I want my 15 seconds of fame! :)
I coded an Amiga program to find possible duplicates for Nemesis1. It patched sidplay.library (or whatever it was called) to catch all audio output and calculate a checksum (CRC-32? Can't remember) from it. IIRC it went through given directory, played all SIDs there for 10 or so seconds (no waiting for frame sync - warp mode, wooo!) and output the checksum and file name. Resulting data was easy to analyze with short Rexx script. Way better than doing binary comparison between different rips. |

tnt: infact we have at least 2 tools that do that to find dupes/identify sids. Sometimes binary search of small byte patterns gives better result anyway. |

iAN: "Way better" than what Nemesis1 did back then, which I remember being binary comparison of data part od SIDs. If you manage to get me really bothered with this I may be able to dig out my old email archive from some Amiga HD image to verify what method he used ;) |
