is dcore compatible in a any way with core

It would be as good to have tczs working under dcore(backwards compatibility).

In the first concept stage, tczs made from fetched debs was the package format for dCore, but at the time it was difficult to work with the circular deps in Debian as well as being slower overall with loading.  Slower because Debian's packages are much more factored out than Tinycore's.  Gcc is broken into 20 packages in Debian, but only 4 in the standard TC repo.  I am sure I could get the imported tcz format to work now that I have spent over 2 years with dCore, but it would in a way mean starting over from scratch with importing, updates, etc. 

If you are talking about the option of also using the standard tcz repo, then no, there is not library compatibility so it would not work.

Although a branch of *Core, dCore is a different system. Is there a specific .tcz you are looking at? As Debian and Ubuntu have thousands of packages available you would be hard pressed NOT to find what you're looking for through the regular  sce-import  route. Ubuntu dCore can even access PPAs.

Simple personal extensions i've used in TC6 also work in dCore, squash your own into an *.sce instead of a *.tcz, but it's a hack and user is required to ensure he imports all necessary dependencies (can create a file list).

Select lightweight software is available from the dCore repositories that may no longer be offered by Debian and are still enjoyed by *Core users, including beaver, emelfm (original), fluff and xmms using the sce-searchprebuilt command.
