    Solving logical memory block errors on my secondary hard drive with the right Linux tools for this task

    I wish that was the case. Maybe an admin can still move it if that's the case, but I've found no great places to post it in this forum.

    A little help with automated vector image duplication for frame-by-frame animations (advanced)

    This forum article is vastly different from what I usually write here in this website, but anyway.. I was always been fascinated by 2D sprite animations done by people on sites like youtube and wanted to do something myself by using mostly free and open source programs that are compatible with...

    Sharing my latest progress with dumping DS ROMs with my own hardware (personal archive project)

    I might have gone with ReactOS for that but I guess it's still alpha-grade software at the moment despite having plenty of nightly builds being released.

    (retro pc gaming) saving some of my old early 2000s windows pc games into a modern hard drive for building a personal archive

    If I remember correctly, some of the PC game I had only asked for a disc drive to be present during the installation process. A lot of time has passed since the last time I've played them, so I really wonder how they will beware once I'll get most of the dumps ready to be played with WINE and...

    (retro pc gaming) saving some of my old early 2000s windows pc games into a modern hard drive for building a personal archive

    another plan I have is to use bin/cue files for the archivial of disc data (which is more well-supported at least) or maybe even .img files if there's a benefit in using them other than simple .iso files. I don't know what kind of protection they might have since they're all basically old CDs...

They where one of my first gaming experiences before I've got a playstation 2. my dream is being able to preserve those games and put them into local...

    Would 3DS piracy-protecting mechanism hit in if I'm trying to use wooddumper on a separate device over a network

    hmmm........ is there an open source hardware dumper for ds/3ds games? how about using a third party game console in order to dump those game cartridges from there? I also have another theory in mind, how about using an hardware programmer like for example the pikkit4 to attach some serial...
