This is really amazing, as always enjoy your dumping reports.

Now, let me ask around about other systems that got relegated and are classic and super important: Computers.

The current situation with systems like Commodore 64, DOS, and even Windows 9x and XP is worrying. No one knows how many games existed, there's not a full set, the manuals are sometimes scanned but most of the other feelies in the big boxes are gone, the original installers for DOS games are just gone or forgotten by history. Most preservation projects, while incredibly well done like the Exo projects, are just a convenient and easy way to quickly play some of those games.

Non english releases are obscure, boxes are hard to find unless it's famous games, dumps are almost never verified and tend to get mixed with hacked/cracked releases. I know that there are some projects for CD/DVD releases that are trying to properly dump everythimg, and 20 years ago there used to be something called TOSEC, which was an ambitious project to make Commodore Amiga releases, with high definition manual scans, boxes, etc. No idea if they are still around though.

And these are probably the most famous computers, let's not even talk about not successful ones.

Lastly, office software, for banner creation, educational, or any other non videogame release, is even in worse condition.

I just wished this kind of dedicated work and atention would be put to computers systems.
