01:24 πŸ”— arkhive Just picked up over 100 videodiscs(selectavision,CEDs) someday I'll have to dump those. Included was Star Wars Empire Strikes Back..Wonder if that's a different mastering(i think you call it) from VHS/DVD/LD...
01:24 πŸ”— arkhive And a Videodisc player.
01:24 πŸ”— arkhive if anyone cares.
01:24 πŸ”— arkhive :)
01:25 πŸ”— mistym_ Cool! :D
01:25 πŸ”— Coderjoe mmm 244%
01:25 πŸ”— arkhive CoderJoe: huh?
01:26 πŸ”— Coderjoe I'll take the CED stuff if you want to get rid of it
01:26 πŸ”— mistym_ I think it's on Youtube, but you should totally get your hands on Memories of Videodisc and upload that to IA ;)
01:26 πŸ”— Coderjoe arkhive: the infocube 2.0 is up to 244% as of a minute ago
01:26 πŸ”— arkhive I will eventually. Just out of curiosity where are you located.
01:26 πŸ”— arkhive I'm Colorado
01:27 πŸ”— Coderjoe I have an LD player and some LDs (including the faces edition of the original trilogy)
01:27 πŸ”— Coderjoe I had been meaning to pick up some CED stuff
01:27 πŸ”— Coderjoe southwest michigan
01:27 πŸ”— arkhive ah. This stuff is soo heavy when you add them up.
01:28 πŸ”— mistym_ LD <3
01:28 πŸ”— mistym_ arkhive: I bet!
01:28 πŸ”— mistym_ How many pounds does it work out to?
01:29 πŸ”— Coderjoe and I think I have heard that every release is slightly different
01:29 πŸ”— Coderjoe I don't have any of the special editions of the OT, prior to the DVD release
01:30 πŸ”— Coderjoe I have a fox video VHS release and the faces LDs
01:31 πŸ”— Coderjoe on the subject of old video recording tech, have you heard of phonovision?
01:41 πŸ”— arkhive nope.
01:41 πŸ”— arkhive uploading pictures. I also got a beta max player. no tapes though.
01:42 πŸ”— arkhive btw it was all free. *end of bragging*
01:45 πŸ”— Coderjoe mm
01:45 πŸ”— Coderjoe another thing I kinda would like to get
01:45 πŸ”— Coderjoe even though I have no immediate use for it
01:57 πŸ”— shaqfu You could watch Blade Runner on it
02:00 πŸ”— mistym_ I know I'd never do anything with it but it would be kind of cool to have a D-Theater deck.
02:00 πŸ”— shaqfu (I wonder if anyone owns a complete set of all Blade Runner releases, given that it's on almost everything)
02:02 πŸ”— mistym_ Or a Hi-Vision player, even if apparently all the discs look really crappy.
02:02 πŸ”— shaqfu mistym_: Analog 720p? Spiffy
02:03 πŸ”— dashcloud is D-Theater the same as DVHS?
02:03 πŸ”— mistym_ dashcloud: D-Theater is DVHS + DRM.
02:03 πŸ”— dashcloud interesting
02:04 πŸ”— mistym_ There were a couple dozen commercial movie releases on it. 720p + 1080i.
02:04 πŸ”— dashcloud the player+tapes would still be useful today, if you've got a firewire port on there
02:05 πŸ”— mistym_ shaqfu: Hi-Vision's kinda odd, I thnk it's *around* 720i in the LD version.
02:06 πŸ”— dashcloud arkhive: I wouldn't be surprised at all if that version of the movie is different from the others
02:10 πŸ”— dashcloud SketchCow: have any travel plans for California in October?
02:11 πŸ”— SketchCow Not sure
02:12 πŸ”— SketchCow Maybe
02:12 πŸ”— SketchCow What's up?
02:12 πŸ”— dashcloud I'm going to be out there anyway for a trip- meeting Will Wright for lunch
02:12 πŸ”— SketchCow The kickstarter thing
02:12 πŸ”— dashcloud yeap
02:13 πŸ”— dashcloud also going to see the MADE museum hopefully
02:16 πŸ”— dashcloud folks, apparently you can register for CES 2013 for free until Sept. 1st : http://registration3.experientevent.com/showCES131/Default.aspx
02:16 πŸ”— SketchCow You didn't mention the downside
02:16 πŸ”— SketchCow you have to go to CES
02:17 πŸ”— dashcloud well yeah- but it could be worse- you could be paying them $200 to go there
02:17 πŸ”— godane finally getting commodore 64 training with jim butterfield video
02:18 πŸ”— arkhive You don't like CES SketchCow
02:18 πŸ”— godane i found a bigger file on piratebay
02:23 πŸ”— Coderjoe well, i would like to get a beta deck so i can play beta tapes, should i happen upon any
06:28 πŸ”— Sally323 Learn how to become an op in any channel with the program at http://tinyurl.com/9gwzvm9
06:30 πŸ”— SketchCow NOT TODAY, SALLY
06:31 πŸ”— Nintendud aw but SketchCow, I wanted to leaaaarn
06:31 πŸ”— Nintendud one more disc to upload
06:39 πŸ”— Nintendud SketchCow: Alright, I just uploaded the final one (PC Gamer Extended Play Collection Volume 2). When you get a chance, move them over to the collection.
06:40 πŸ”— Nintendud I accidentally uploaded disc #1 to the 'texts' collection; I don't appear to have the ability to rederive it as software.
06:49 πŸ”— Nintendud SketchCow: I also have some scans for existing items that I cannot edit (#12 / #3.3). Let me know what a good workflow would be for contributing them (upload them to new items that you later merge, or send them to you offline?)
06:50 πŸ”— SketchCow Better to give me .zips or whatever and tell me what the items are.
06:50 πŸ”— Nintendud SketchCow: eh. Items that I've uploaded that need to be moved to the pcgamer collection are here http://archive.org/search.php?query=uploader%3A%22nintendud%40gmail.com%22
06:51 πŸ”— Nintendud So you want me to email you a .zip with the scans and tell you the individual items?
06:51 πŸ”— SketchCow Will they fit in a mailed .zip?
06:51 πŸ”— Nintendud Should.
06:51 πŸ”— Nintendud let me get on that
06:56 πŸ”— Nintendud SketchCow: sent.
06:56 πŸ”— Nintendud it's something like 8MB of scans total
06:56 πŸ”— Nintendud or 7MB
07:01 πŸ”— SketchCow They've moved.
07:01 πŸ”— Nintendud Thanks much
07:01 πŸ”— Nintendud SketchCow: oh, #1 needs to be moved to software
07:02 πŸ”— Nintendud it's still categorized as text
07:02 πŸ”— Nintendud http://archive.org/details/pcgamer-coverdisc-1994-12
07:02 πŸ”— SketchCow Done
07:02 πŸ”— Nintendud thanks again
07:02 πŸ”— Nintendud hopefully the scans have safely arrived via email
07:03 πŸ”— SketchCow http://ia600805.us.archive.org/isoview.php?iso=/18/items/pcgamer-coverdisc-1994-12/1994-12_-_Disc_1.iso
07:04 πŸ”— SketchCow http://archive.org/download/pcgamer-coverdisc-1994-12/1994-12_-_Disc_1.iso/BREAK%2FBRKDEMO%2FMIDIFILE%2F4VOICE%2FGERMANY.MID is what plays when archive.org processes CD-ROMs
07:06 πŸ”— Nintendud hah
07:06 πŸ”— Nintendud what game is this from?
07:08 πŸ”— Nintendud Looks like Breakthru
07:08 πŸ”— SketchCow Not sure offhand, but bet it sucks
07:09 πŸ”— Nintendud from alexey pajitnov
07:09 πŸ”— Nintendud judging from filepath + scan of the back sleeve
07:09 πŸ”— Nintendud oh god, this thing never ends
07:09 πŸ”— SketchCow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakthru!_(video_game)
07:10 πŸ”— Nintendud huh. maybe the PC version was canceled?
07:10 πŸ”— Nintendud a demo is definitely on that disc
07:11 πŸ”— SketchCow http://www.classic-pc-games.com/pc/puzzle_games/breakthru!_for_windows.html
07:12 πŸ”— Nintendud Looks like the wikipedia article could use updating
07:15 πŸ”— underscor Nintendud: Looks like SketchCow fixed it before I could nab it
07:15 πŸ”— underscor oh, wow, scrolled up
07:15 πŸ”— Nintendud yup
07:15 πŸ”— Nintendud 28 new items added to collection
07:15 πŸ”— underscor nice!
07:15 πŸ”— Nintendud still waiting for the collection to update on the site
07:16 πŸ”— Nintendud Two of the uploaded discs had sector errors on the discs, which I noted.
07:16 πŸ”— Nintendud But they appear to function correctly
07:16 πŸ”— Nintendud I have a second erroneous copy of one of the discs. I hope to do a binary diff between them; maybe recover some sectors
07:20 πŸ”— Nintendud Oh. I actually have three more discs to upload at some point.
07:20 πŸ”— Nintendud Noice.
07:49 πŸ”— underscor awesome!
07:50 πŸ”— Nintendud I wonder how often the collections are updated. The PC Gamer coverdisc collection description is still at 74 items
07:51 πŸ”— SketchCow Once a day
07:51 πŸ”— SketchCow roughly.
07:51 πŸ”— Nintendud gotcha
07:51 πŸ”— Nintendud I'll stop refreshing then, haha
07:51 πŸ”— underscor Nintendud: It's waiting on the search engine to reindex
07:52 πŸ”— Nintendud after these three discs, we should have all of the main numbered discs from #1 up to 7.19
07:52 πŸ”— Nintendud still missing some of the weird best-of and extended-play discs
07:57 πŸ”— Nintendud underscor / SketchCow: Also, if you can, mention in the description of this that, while labeled #5.14 on the jacket, it is also counted as #6.1 as its CD's volume label is 6.1. http://archive.org/details/pcgamer-coverdisc-2000-11
07:57 πŸ”— Nintendud Dunno if that tidbit should also be reflected in the title (#5.14 / #6.1)
07:57 πŸ”— Nintendud there's so many fuckups in the volume labels of these things
07:57 πŸ”— Nintendud I believe one of them has the label CGAMER, haha
07:58 πŸ”— Nintendud But yeah, according to several people who have the actual magazines they went from #5.14 to #6.2
08:15 πŸ”— underscor Nintendud: archive.org/details/pcgamer-coverdisc-2000-11?reCache=1
08:15 πŸ”— Nintendud underscor: <3
08:16 πŸ”— underscor :3
08:16 πŸ”— underscor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erh2ngRZxs0
08:16 πŸ”— Nintendud more discs should be coming in too, as Swizzle is going to rip the stuff he has
08:16 πŸ”— Nintendud so excite
08:16 πŸ”— underscor awesome!
08:17 πŸ”— Nintendud honestly, a complete collection is not too far away
08:20 πŸ”— SmileyG hehe
08:21 πŸ”— BlueMax nice
08:52 πŸ”— Schbirid Nintendud: did you grab the ones from underground gamer already?
08:52 πŸ”— omf_ if you were going to buy a domain name for an open source project is there any real difference between .org and .info if .com is not available? Is there brand erosion?
08:52 πŸ”— Schbirid use org
08:55 πŸ”— underscor ^
08:55 πŸ”— omf_ yeah that is what I thought
08:55 πŸ”— underscor I think of .info as scams and server hostnames
08:55 πŸ”— underscor haha
08:55 πŸ”— omf_ everything that is not .com .org .net is not "good enough"
08:55 πŸ”— Schbirid undersc.org
08:56 πŸ”— Schbirid .de is great
08:56 πŸ”— underscor .biz has always bugged me too
08:56 πŸ”— ersi .de's quite the DNS nazi
08:57 πŸ”— ersi they were a pain in the ass to deal with, when working at a registry/dns resolver
08:57 πŸ”— Schbirid wat
08:57 πŸ”— underscor yeah, they are
08:57 πŸ”— underscor .am too
08:57 πŸ”— * ersi shrugs
08:59 πŸ”— Nintendud Schbirid: huh? I uploaded that collection
08:59 πŸ”— Schbirid Nintendud: you rock
08:59 πŸ”— Nintendud :3 thanks
09:00 πŸ”— Nintendud that collection is actually what got me to contribute to the shareware cd archive; DFJustin told me about it
09:00 πŸ”— Nintendud I had no idea that it existed
09:00 πŸ”— Nintendud A revised torrent with new material will be coming soon
09:00 πŸ”— Schbirid i've been pming uploaders of german stuff about it
09:00 πŸ”— Nintendud well, with the material that I just uploaded to archive.org
09:01 πŸ”— Nintendud german stuff?
09:01 πŸ”— Schbirid discs and mags
09:02 πŸ”— Nintendud ahh, cool cool
09:02 πŸ”— Nintendud this is all PC Gamer US; no UK stuff so far
09:04 πŸ”— Nintendud but yeah, if it can get people to contribute some other stuff, that would be cool
09:06 πŸ”— Nintendud I'm hoping the next torrent iteration will bring fresh faces with more stuff to contribute, now that the 'stuff needed' list is much shorter
09:06 πŸ”— Nintendud looking forward to contributing a ton of scans once I get back to my apartment in two weeks
14:17 πŸ”— godane SketchCow: is starcade in the dark on archive.org?
14:18 πŸ”— godane i ask cause there is a complete run of starcade on underground gamer
22:34 πŸ”— arkhive So I picked up hundreds of 5.25" floppies. From Commodore, IBM, CPM, DOS, MSDOS, Windows, Apple. I have three PC Magazine 5.25" disks
22:35 πŸ”— arkhive Anyone want to help dump them?
22:35 πŸ”— DFJustin where are you located
22:35 πŸ”— arkhive Colorado, USA
22:35 πŸ”— arkhive I'll be back. have to go somewhere. but let me know people.
22:36 πŸ”— underscor Twitter> @BillGates: 4 out of 10 people donҀ™t have a safe way to poop - thatҀ™s 2.6 billion!
22:36 πŸ”— underscor https://twitter.com/BillGates/status/235126430055411712
22:37 πŸ”— DFJustin won't somebody think of the poop
23:01 πŸ”— dashcloud look at this press release: http://pandodaily.com/2012/08/13/ycs-kippt-and-buffer-join-forces-for-saving-and-sharing-content/
23:06 πŸ”— dashcloud arkhive: be sure to update the instructions on the wiki with the actual equipment & commands you're using if you use something different
23:22 πŸ”— balrog arkhive: I'll get back to you soon (about the data recovery)
23:22 πŸ”— balrog Been busy as ever :(
