Scene Resources

The definitive production database for the worldwide demoscene. Every release has metadata: group, platform, party, competition placing, download links, and YouTube recordings. Covers C64, Amiga, PC, and dozens of other platforms, all cross-referenced by group, scener, and event.

The original scene review site, active since 2000. Productions carry community ratings, thumbs up/down, and comment threads where sceners discuss each other's work. Search by platform, group, or party for unfiltered scene opinion going back over two decades.

The C64-specific archive: group profiles, demo releases, SID tracks, graphics packs, and scener bios, all interlinked. The authoritative record of C64 production history from 1982 to today. If a C64 production exists and matters to the scene, it has a CSDb entry.

The open-source Commodore 64 emulator used by most sceners. Runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Supports .d64 disk images and .prg files, with accurate SID chip emulation and configurable PAL/NTSC timing. See the Play page for setup guidance.

Browser-based SID player drawing from the High Voltage SID Collection. Search by composer name, group, or game title, then play directly in the browser. Supports subtune selection and SID chip model switching between 6581 and 8580. No install required.

The event calendar for upcoming and past demoparties worldwide. Each entry covers location, dates, competition categories, stream links, and how to register. Use this to follow the annual party circuit and find events worth attending or watching online.

Personal site of scener Lft (Linus Akesson), creator of A Mind Is Born - a complete C64 demo packed into 256 bytes. The technical articles cover SID programming, VIC-II hardware tricks, and low-level C64 internals with a precision rarely found outside original hardware documentation.
