Any of you lurkers here have an idea where this compilation CD could be found? :confused

I've heard that it's probably one of the best scene related CD around...

It was on an Amiga Format issue...

I'll get it in a couple of weeks, unless someone else has it.

Well then..

How about doing a big favour to all of us and make a bin/cue image of it and uploading it to BippyM's or KombatSanta's FTP-Sites?? :lol

Speaking of scene CD's, there is a DVD with the best PC demos which have just been released:

This project is very cool, the dvd is made by scene people so please don't divx it :)

If they sell enough of it they have promised another one with the best amiga demos.

I`ve got volume one...
I bought it because they claimed it was made "in association with spaceballs"...
How funny! We`ve never even spoken a word with these guys :-D

We`re not americans, you know ;-) Hehe!
Just kidding!
Anyway.. I remember we sent them a mail, just for fun, actually.
No-one replyed, though.. hmm.. strange!?

But I think it says a lot about Digital Candy promotion policy?

hehe! :laughing

I managed to pick my copy up for £3 (what a bargain!) from http://www.powerc.com . I don't know if they have any left but maybe its worth a try? :)

heh,

for what it's worth, i was a regular user of Digital Candy BBS around the time they released the 'Scene Storm' CD, and I'm sure they asked _someone_ from Spaceballs before releasing it. I will agree, however, that they weren't particularly known for their association with Spaceballs (DCS, was it? They were Mono WHQ when we started the group.),

So, yeah, it is a slight case of someone 'tacking on' a famous group's name to get a bit more publicity. seems weird in some ways, cos they were easily the biggest demo-scene-only BBS in the UK at the time.

great CD, tho :P

Ok, almost six months after the first post made by me on this thread... there is NO CD-IMAGE ANYWHERE ON THE FTP's YET! *GRRR*:mad

I'm making a CloneCD image of it - is that format okay?

Where can we leech it ?

It's about 524Mb - I'll let Phiber download it from my FTP and then he can spread it onwards...

Got it!

Thanks, CodyJarrett :great

Next, i will split the file into 20 megabyte .rar chunks and create an sfv-signature file for it before sending it onwards...

Edit:

Aeh.. and ofcourse the ftp's i'm trying to upload it to were offline..

well, you'll just have to wait a little bit longer then..

And on another note.. seems i'll have to re-do the filecheck thing again, since i found out that crc32 doesn't work well on files over 15 megabytes... why you ask? simple mathematics, crc32 does't have enough bits to cover the whole 20 megabyte file..

here's a snip from a .sfv FAQ:

You see, 32 bits gives us 4,294,967,296 bit combinations, while simple 15meg file has of them: 5,287*10^3084 (thats in scientific notation, it means the number has 3084 digits)

as you can see there are many different 15meg files and there is a possibility that our CRC32 will generate same code for two completly different files..

Just to be on the safe side, i've decided to search for a utility that does MD5 checksums for the files..
