Added a staggering 4841 intro's to the "Commodore C64 - Cracktros - [PRG]" DAT.

Uploaded all the newly added files to FTP.

I'm not missing many files for any upload btw (eg. only 3 missing for High Voltage)

Seperated disk magazines from 'Magazines' and moved to new category 'Diskmags'; much better this way. Added 500+ new diskmags and renamed even more.

Duncan,

I've just been going through your dats & there's a couple of questions :-

1) There's 93 files that have been removed in the new "Commodore C64 - Magazines - [PRG]" that aren't picked up in any of the other C64 sets.  Is this intentional or a mistake ?  I've attached a ClrMamePro dat of just these files that were removed.

2) Can you point me to where I can download the new files added to "Commodore C64 - Magazines - [PRG]" & "Commodore C64 - Collections - High Voltage" ?  I had some of the files but not all.

Thanks

1) Those files are not magazines but games produced by some Spanish people. It looks like they belong in the games folder. But they certainly don't belong to magazines. I'll move them to the correct location and update the corresponding DAT in order to keep the whole set consistent.

2) I'll try to upload those files this weekend.

Cheers,
Duncan

I'm a bit confused how those errors slipped back into the dat, anyhow I've corrected them and uploaded again. I'll upload the C64 files this weekend.

Moved to Commodore C64 - Games - Previews - [PRG]

Removed "Commodore C64 - Games - Previews - DOS Binary Files", all files were duplicate and moved to the appropriate folder.

Created and uploaded to TOSEC ftp:
* Commodore C64 - Collections - Coco

Well, I/we need all the files contained in the fixdat - fixdat's only contain details of the files missing from the creator's file set.

Sorry, you've lost me. I've 'touched' all the files in that particular DAT and the fixdat only contains 10% of the original set, how come? Main changes to the DAT were adding the first 250 files (give or take one), they're not included in the fixdat.
Could you please explain some more?

cheers,
Duncan
btw, I've upload the files contained in the fixdat to my tosec folder.

New fixdat uploaded.

Now we finally managed to get inside Duncan's 7z file, there's still a whole bunch of files missing.

No files missing, I only gave you an extract. Do you need all the files? 

Let's keep it the way it is at the moment. I've seen other C64 collections having more or less the same amount of files. As you might have seen, I've uploaded the DAT to the ftp site (amongst others).

Duncan

Guys,

The 'High Voltage Complete C64 Collection' is actually incomplete in TOSEC. I found all the missing roms and have added them to the DAT. The collection consists of some subcategories, mainly:

- NewGames
- OldGames
- Demos

This would account for more than 5000 files located in one folder. I suggest to split the collection on at least the above mentioned subcategories.

Could anymore please comment on this (is there a policy, guideline etc?)

Cheers,
Duncan

Duncan, I've just added this to the WIP set of dats for the next release

Haha, great!

Is there anywhere I can grab some of the added files from ?  I had the set from the original dat & some others but have some missing still, but I don't like releasing dats if I don't know 100% that the files are "available" (unlike some other projects).

I could upload them to my TOSEC ftp account if you like?

I've attached a ClrMamePro fixdat.

Are you aware that the fixdat is in xml format?

Hi Guys,

Thank you all for your response, I'm getting the hang of it! Here's my, hopefully, final version.

Cheers,
Duncan
