Hi there,

Please enjoy this Demobase for the Commodore 64 )))
This is the second version and has been redone completely.
It has been a lot of work and maybe its not 100% but it has
come a long way ***

We hope you will enjoy this (i know for sure) !
We could not have done this without the great guys from CSDB.
Offcourse also all people that have contributed to this collection
through the years.(and thats a LOT of people)

Regards

Sjakie43

Respect for very hard work, sjakie & mad :)

Sorry to be a pain but I'm missing 191 screenshots, I no longer had V1 of this gamebase, is it possible these were in that?

Hi Paul,

This is a totally NEW C64 DemoBase.
we called it v2, so it would not get confused with the c64.ch demobase.

The missing screens are probably correct.
I have 369 missing. As i haven't updated with Sjakie43's screenshot pack yet.

some Demo entries are Source code or missing files.
These still have a screenshot file linked, as i linked every demo entry with an ID numbered PNG file.
This was done in a cut and paste from a generated list, to save months of work. ;)

To confirm, check if some missing screens also have a missing demo, or no screen via the CSDb web link.

Cheers as always .mad, I'll leave it be then, it was just I did the obligatory verify files thing and bingo, just the screens missing.

Thanks again...

Paul..

I downloaded the torrent. In the first place, I downloaded the Zip files only, overlooked the Z01...Z08 files, so the Demos archive seemed to be corrupt.

I also have 191 missing screenshots, most of them indeed from entries without a runnable file.
I removed the screenshots from the database entries without an runnable file linked to it and added 1 or 2 screenshots from csdb.org.

Hi folks,

Just a quick one. Is anyone else getting an unexpected end of archive on Demos.z01?

Tried 7zip and winrar (v5) and both report that error. I've re-downloaded the file just in case but still have that error.

Thanks again all.

Not tested it.
But you need to have all 9 parts before it will unpack.
ZIP, Z01 - Z08

WinRAR should unpack with the DEMOS.ZIP file.

Also, if you are downloading through your web browser, you may need to clear the cache, and then download again.

make sure on the download page you click SHOW ALL as there are files that are by accident hidden until you click that...

Yes, we all made the same mistake :)
