Where do I put the "magazines" folder that is downloaded?

This is answered in the video.

Another question, what is Demoscene, Diskmags and SID? Can I erase it? I only want the games

Demoscene is essentially art and music demonstrations by C64 scene groups that push the hardware to its limits. They're neat, and still a big part of the C64 scene today.
Diskmags are news magazines in disk form. They often have music and art to go along with the current news stories in each issue. These are still being released today by various scene groups.
SID refers to the SID chip which is the sound and music chip used by the C64. The SID category is a collection of music tracks composed for the C64. Again, this is still a big and active scene today.

You could technically delete these but you're talking about around 100MB out of a 30GB+ collection.

Absolutely fantastic project :)

I see at the top of the thread, it says "Current progress: working through "P"

yet, the games list seems to be pretty complete? Are you going back through the alphabet and adding missing games?

Also, is it ok to suggest a couple of games?

1) You've got Super Huey, but not Super Huey 2 (which is arguably better)

2) Mediator. A really great game, but the official cassette version of this was released with a game-breaking bug near the end. However, maybe there is a different copy out there that works?

Thanks for your hard work! :)

I'm parsing through all of Gamebase64. The existing games that are beyond "P" are ones that I played as a kid, knew about already, were specifically requested by users, etc. The overall completion level, however, is based on a complete pass through every game in GB64, which is why the next version will be v0.60, as I'm about 60% of the way through it at this point.

7 hours ago, Kured said:

Absolutely. With that said, no requests at this point will be in the next version, as all 500 new game slots are accounted for. I've added both games to the to-do list for post v0.60 additions.

I'll have more detailed info later, but things are getting pretty close at this point. I'm in the metadata and media creation phase currently (final phase of work for the update).

The best way to keep track of progress is on my Discord, and I will be posting a release candidate for v0.60 there prior to the standard wider public release.

Brilliant info there, thanks Zombeaver :) That's great to know the two games are on the list for the future. I'm hoping there's a bug-free version of Mediator that you can use.

Oh, one more easy suggestion for you... For the game "Beyond the Forbidden Forest", when the game first starts, it sits in "demo mode" until F7 is pressed. I think this confuses a lot of people, and they wonder why there are no monsters. Maybe you could add a popup or something to tell people to press it, or add "press F7 to start the game" to the notes on the spreadsheet :)

Cheers!

Sure. I made a notes overlay for it which will be in v0.60.

@Zombeaver Sorry, I had to delete my previous post, because in the meantime I took a closer look and learned alot how 4 player is working and how you configured it :)

But one problem remains: I can't get the game "straight-up" to work with 4-player. I added it manually. Did you add this game in the meantime in 0.60? It's from the same author as "shotgun" and "frogs", which are already implemented (and it's really a great & fun game).

I tried to configure everything exactly as "shotgun" and "frogs" (I even copied & renamed the cfg and opt-files of "frogs" to have the same options with "straight-up"), but only 1 and 2 player work. 3 and 4 seem to work, but quickly after moving, they stuck. After that, the firebuttons of player 3 and 4 are still working. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong here.

I know you don't take requests anymore for 0.60, but I'd be glad if you could take a look sometime (I enclosed the game, since it's free).

Thanks alot! Can't wait for the new version.

Err.. what do I do so the C64 dreams stuff will have one of these new icons that got introduced recently?

 

Edit: I figured you need to set the <ScrapeAs in the XML files for the platforms. However for platform categories there is no such tag.

Edit2: Figured you have to have the icon with identical name in \Images\Platform Icons\Platforms

Okay guys, the release candidate for C64 Dreams v0.60 is now up on my Discord. The plan, like last time, is to have this up for a week or two, address any issues that come up, and then put it up on Archive.org. I'll have the normal exhaustive changelog once it's released on Archive, but some highlights below:

  • 506 new games (there were 6 duplicates identified in v0.45 - same game but alternate regional title)
  • Game-specific background music added in LB for as many games as possible (2368 / 3500 currently)
  • New Mega Bezel options added to the configurator; these are accessible via C64 Dreams\C64 Dreams\Configurator.exe > Shaders > HSM Mega Bezel > double click "Enabled". Screen and background options can be set there as well. Keep in mind that this requires a pretty decent video card.
  • New playlists for Shmup and RPGs
  • Tons of media improvements
  • Tons of game version upgrades, fixes, etc.

Blog post for v0.60 on Zomb's Lair
Download C64 Dreams v0.60 (DDL / Torrent)
Download local magazine module (optional but recommended!) (DDL)
Game details spreadsheet

Version 0.60 of C64 Dreams is now available! It features 506 new games (6 duplicates were discovered in v0.45 - same game but with an alternate regional title - and have since been removed) brining the game count to 3500. It was a long road to get to this point - multiple events IRL slowed down progress on this update but I'm thrilled to finally be able to share it with you all!

I've prepared a brief overview video of some of the new features in v0.60 so check it out!

New:

  • Created new playlists for RPGs and Shmups to facilitate quickly browsing these specific genres; more such playlists will be created over time as this is a work in progress
  • Added game-specific background music for as many games as possible in Launchbox - 2368 out of 3500 games now have music
  • Added new Mega Bezel shader options which are highly recommended if your GPU and CPU can handle it; a variety of screens and backgrounds are available of my own creation as well as some from TheNamec; you can find a lot more info on TheNamec's creations here: https://retrogamingpacks.blogspot.com

  • Added Elite: Flicker Free version as additional app (right-click) option for Elite
  • Added missing notes overlay for Rescue on Fractalus! (SuperCPU version)
  • Replaced Trashman with New Generation Software version (this was the intended version to begin with, but was incorrectly using the Creative Software version previously)
  • Replaced Caveman with Arlasoft version (this was the intended version to begin with, but was incorrectly using the Compute! version previously)
  • Renamed "International Tennis" to "International Tennis (Zeppelin Games)", corrected media/metadata to match, as well as removed the Zzap!64 review and manual as these were all for the Commodore version, not Zeppelin
  • Added some missing images for SID tracks (only relevant in some image views)
  • Added missing 4-player config settings for Hockey Mania and Zatacka
  • Fixed a bug with Zatacka which caused the order of player inputs to be incorrect
  • Set It's Magic II to use TDE + autowarp - some versions of this game apparently require it
  • Added missing additional app (right-click) option for the Easyflash version of Sam's Journey
  • Fixed a broken reference in the .bat for Metal Dust
  • Updated Star Paws to latest (bugfixed) OL64 version
  • Corrected publisher name for The Isle of the Cursed Prophet and The Sky is Falling to be "Psytronik Software" instead of "Psytronic Software"
  • Renamed "Lost Realms of Murkasada: Episode 1" in LB to "Lost Realms of Murkasada" and added both Episode 1 and Episode 2 as additional apps (right-click menu) - default launch is Episode 1; updated fanart box and 3D box title accordingly
  • Made GPU Screenshots enabled by default

Misc:

  • Remade every single 3D box in the collection - the rationale for this is that, originally, the 2000~ that I made were designed to mimic the same style as that used by a user on the Launchbox forums (marcoooo) who made a set of 3D boxes for C64 games, and his boxes had the logo for "The C64" (i.e. the plug and play device from a couple years ago) on them, which this project has no affiliation with (not that I have anything against them, I think it's a cool project) - this had always irritated my OCD, so I finally decided that I was going to remake them all from scratch without the logo, covering both the ones that I had created previously and all the ones from marcoooo's set that I was using; many cover improvements were made along the way so it was worth it in the end, but hoo boy was this a long and tedious undertaking
  • Replaced hundreds of box covers with higher quality ones
  • Added hundreds of new manuals, bringing the total to 1930, with 55% coverage - many of these were found thanks to the help of the amazing Smiling Spectre of the eXoDOS project, thanks again dude!
  • Changed all games to use 6581 SID instead of 8580 - I started noticing a few too many instances where things just didn't sound right with 8580 + digiboost; the SID and demoscene stuff are still set to 8580 unless I'd specified otherwise previously
  • Upscaled all bezels to 4k - there are some minor scaling artifacts when upscaling from the previously 1080p bezels to a higher resolution such as 1440p, but not when downscaling from a higher resolution
  • Upscaled all notes overlays to 4k
  • Upscaled all screenshots by 4x with nearest neighbor scaling to preserve quality - this increased the total filesize by less than 100MB but made them a lot easier to see in the process; some of the screenshots were relatively poor quality to begin with so in some cases this is just polishing a turd, but the vast majority of them are a nice improvement
  • Color and contrast corrected hundreds of screenshots (still a work-in-progress)
  • Added new column to game details spreadsheet to indicate source (CSDb, GB64, etc.) and added links to GB64 pages where relevant
  • Replaced "Text Adventure" column on game details spreadsheet with "Genre" and added genre tags for text adventures, RPGs, and Shmups; others will be added over time as this is a work in progress
  • Added additional games to Best of Vol. 7 and created new playlist for Best of Vol. 8
  • L'Abbaye des Morts has gone free to download so the rom for it is now included!
  • Linked hundreds of games to LBGDB entries that didn't exist when they were originally added
  • Added missing release date years wherever possible (only 22 games in the collection are missing this info now - cases where the release year is unknown)
  • Reset last played, play time, and play counts for all LB entries
  • Set all games installed status to yes in Launchbox
  • Added 4k variant of CRT-Easymode-Halation-C64 shader in Configurator

Great stuff, @Zombeaver

I do have a technical question; I currently have the previous version of C64 Dreams installed within my Launchbox (along with multiple other system emulators) and I'm curious as to how I can update to the latest 0.60 release of C64 Dreams.  Is it as simple as downloading the latest version and copying the folders over to the relevant directory (whilst overwriting any and all matching filenames)?

Thank you.

You'll need to delete the original first and use the new version. I wouldn't recommend overwriting on top because that wouldn't address files that were outright deleted between versions (so they shouldn't be there but wouldn't be overwritten / deleted if you copied the new on top of the old).

Great. Thank you. I'm downloading version 0.60 now and will do as advised.

Thank you.

Sorry; one last question... I recall that when I previously setup the prior version of C64 Dreams, that there was a way to enable the magazines to be viewed offline (as opposed to an online webpage being opened upon clicking on them), but I can't remember how this is achieved, nor can I relocate the relevant information on how to do so.  Please could you be so kind as to jog my memory?

Thank you.

Sure. All you have to do is go to C64 Dreams\C64 Dreams\Magazines\!XMLs and then copy the Magazines.xml from either the Default Local or Default Web folders, depending on which you want, and then replace the one in C64 Dreams\Data\Platforms. Make sure Launchbox isn't running at the time.

Jeaesus this is an awesome project. C64 was something I was dreading having to tackle especially culling all the crap out of it. Thanks for this one man, I know with this everything is taken care of and the list of games is all relevant stuff. Great documentation as well which for me is much appreciated
