00:22 🔗 Coderjoe has joined #jsmess
00:39 🔗 SketchCow Plan for tonight: Go through as many CD-ROMs as I can while watching movies
00:40 🔗 SketchCow Scan those things, get through these boxes as fast as I can
00:40 🔗 SketchCow all .bin/.cue
00:42 🔗 SketchCow The uploading will lag severely. I'll eventually have to send a hard drive.
00:56 🔗 SketchCow (Watching "Call Northside 777")
02:31 🔗 yipdw_ is now known as yipdw
02:39 🔗 SketchCow Well, just discovered something delightfully scary about how Iso Buster works.
02:39 🔗 SketchCow So fuckin' great... it might have some bad reads.
02:40 🔗 bai uh oh
02:41 🔗 SketchCow Yeah, fuckin' verified.
02:41 🔗 SketchCow AWEEEEEESOMEEEEE
02:42 🔗 bai that probably affects many tb of rips going back years, huh :(
02:42 🔗 SketchCow Oh no.
02:42 🔗 SketchCow I didn't use this thing until recently.
02:42 🔗 bai oh ok
02:42 🔗 SketchCow Because someone said .bin/.cue was the way to go.
02:43 🔗 SketchCow But HOLY SHIT SO FUCKING BRAINDEAD
02:43 🔗 SketchCow I will explain
02:43 🔗 * bai stares blankly in no particular direction
02:43 🔗 SketchCow put in CD
02:43 🔗 SketchCow Now, you can say "write out .bin/.cue"
02:43 🔗 SketchCow Fine.
02:43 🔗 SketchCow But you apparently have to hit "Refresh"
02:43 🔗 SketchCow So it re-reads it in
02:43 🔗 SketchCow THEN hit write out
02:43 🔗 SketchCow Otherwise it's confused.
02:44 🔗 SketchCow I BELIEVE I have every thing I started using ISObuster with here in this room
02:44 🔗 SketchCow Unmailed out
02:44 🔗 SketchCow But what a fucking joy
02:44 🔗 SketchCow did I say joy
02:44 🔗 SketchCow I mean lost days
02:44 🔗 SketchCow I mean like at least a lost day
02:44 🔗 bai oh, so it's not like "doesn't properly checksum data so sometimes there's bad data", it's like "if you didn't follow this precise procedure your shit is fucked"?
02:45 🔗 bai lovely.
02:45 🔗 SketchCow No idea.
02:46 🔗 SketchCow I'm trying to find a selection
02:46 🔗 SketchCow for "do a refresh before you do a .bin/.cue"
02:46 🔗 SketchCow which is like asking for
02:46 🔗 SketchCow "cause a letter to come on the screen in this word processor when you hit a key on a keyboard"
02:46 🔗 SketchCow Where do I look for that
02:46 🔗 SketchCow soooooo angry
02:46 🔗 bai yeah, really
02:47 🔗 bai is it the kind of thing that only happens when you use the same instance for ripping multiple cds in sequence? any chance it could just be done with command-line arguments, and you just run a new instance each time?
02:50 🔗 SketchCow No, no no.
02:50 🔗 SketchCow It's just fucked
02:50 🔗 SketchCow It's a case of do a refresh or it won't work
02:50 🔗 SketchCow The question is if there's some fucking thing buried in it
02:50 🔗 SketchCow GASHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
02:56 🔗 SketchCow Anyway, that's that, going to have to make a second box and hand-compare the macs.
02:58 🔗 SketchCow Hopefully minimal
05:49 🔗 SketchCow OK, I have a method
05:49 🔗 SketchCow A way to see if there's something wrong
05:49 🔗 SketchCow If it fucks up, it'll write the same length
05:50 🔗 SketchCow So I just have to do a whole scan of recently uploaded items, find everything with a .bin/.cue, and then write down lengths
05:50 🔗 SketchCow So thankfully
05:50 🔗 SketchCow Also, I did this check locally. One clunker of 80
05:51 🔗 bai sounds like a great way to spend your evening :(
05:51 🔗 SketchCow Well, again, did byte-size compares
05:51 🔗 SketchCow so whew
05:51 🔗 SketchCow Still angreee
05:54 🔗 SketchCow Not as bad as it could be
05:57 🔗 bai that's good
06:11 🔗 SketchCow Yeah
06:12 🔗 SketchCow Right now I've got it sitting here going through every .bin/.cue item in the collection, and I'm going to them find every case where the byte counts are identical, and then I have the hotlist of possible issues.
06:12 🔗 SketchCow Make the computer do the work
06:48 🔗 SketchCow 506 CD-ROMs were /bin/iso'd.
06:50 🔗 SketchCow bin/cue'd
07:04 🔗 SketchCow I'm happy to say
07:04 🔗 SketchCow It's 4.
07:04 🔗 SketchCow Whew.
07:05 🔗 bai only 4 were bad?
07:06 🔗 SketchCow Well, right now, only 4 are cases of "It has the exact EXACT byte amount of other CDs in the collection."
07:06 🔗 SketchCow Like "Garfield 2" and "Music Madness Volume I - Porcupine Productions - 1992.bin"
07:06 🔗 SketchCow Could be they're different!
07:07 🔗 bai oh dang, well it's definitely a good thing you caught that first one
07:07 🔗 SketchCow One is a coincidence!
07:10 🔗 SketchCow 772015776 is Garfield 2 and Music Madness Volume I.
07:10 🔗 SketchCow Two different people ripped them
07:15 🔗 SketchCow Downloading the remaining ones to figure them out.
07:19 🔗 SketchCow Looking good
07:19 🔗 SketchCow Looks like I got all of them.
08:37 🔗 db48x sounds like a pretty bad design
14:57 🔗 SketchCow Yeah, top notch bad design.
15:09 🔗 SketchCow http://copy.sh/v86/?profile=linux26
15:10 🔗 SketchCow http://copy.sh/v86/ is a better start
15:12 🔗 DFJustin ooh very nice
15:57 🔗 SketchCow https://archive.org/details/msdos_Blocks_from_Hell_1993 (Review from Author)
15:57 🔗 SketchCow I'll be cleaning up the reviews soon, other good ones are in there.
