Amiga 9000, Kubrick edition. In space. -

@stingray: do you mean size limited categories that are applied to prods because they happen to have a certain filesize? (e.g. a 37kb 90s crack intro that gets labelled "64k" for no obvious reason) -
Havok: Yes. And these types are simply wrong. -
yeah if it's 37k in size then it should be in the 40k cat not 64k - Havoc even, sorry. :)
- 100bit: it's a problem because those prods were never intended as size limited intro, cracktro, or whatever, and it pollutes search results
-
Finally, someone other than me raising this issue. Inventing size-coding categories for e.g. prods released before such compos were even invented simply sucks. -
thats why there is an intro category, for prods that were made as intros but not specific size limited kind of intros. -
But we all agree that ALL c64 one-file demos are 64k intros, right? - Exactly. Now, try make everyone submitting prods understand that.
- Maybe pouët needs tags for prods or something like that to make searching easier.
-
You call them c64 one-file *demos*. That's is pretty telling about the intent. Most are meant as a one-file demo. It just happens to be limited to 64kb on c64 - and my comment was obviously meant for ps
-
As far as bbstros and Cracktros go, a lot of Times the size helped to identify Things even though both were mostly Not coded for size. But that is all dos on my side anyway. - sensenstahl, any plans to check your email/discord any time soon? :)
-
Its time pouet includes a field that shows the total binary size, so that you can just search prods by filesize as well. - That would be nice. A search by real size. Would be fun to vote for the bloatest modern PC demo ;)
- That's not binary size though.
- I guess real executable size just makes sense for intros. And, as p01 said, 60K size doesn't always mean intro in certain 8-bit platforms.
-
There was an Amiga demo which had a dummy data file - tiny to download but 1GB after unarchiving - Oh, I remember taking part in one tiny Amiga prod which had a huge bunch of garbage data included in the exe, just so the traders would get more credits for BBS uploads :)
- i'm sure that went well with everyone who wasted more time downloading that
