Comment on I have some very old CDs, mostly retro video games. Is there a way to pull the games and data off the CDs for preservation?

  That’s a name I haven’t heard in a very long time.

    I am taken back into time by 20+ years. I remember hearing from my friends that it’s the best lightweight imaging tool

  It is still around actually! I looked into it a month or two ago when I was having some similar thoughts as OP. I found it quite cool they’ll let you download a windows 9x compatible version too for people using the images on a retro machine.

  I’ve done the DVDs I care about, and ensuring I’ve got FLACs of all my CDs is probably next.

  I’m deciding if it’s actually worth doing my PS1 games given I’ve already got a (not entirely legitimate) full 1g1r library on my media server, my rarest game is probably silent hill and that’s definitely already in there.

    Please don’t. It’s ancient.
