Publishers are absolutely terrified "preserved video games would be used for recreational purposes," so the US copyright office has struck down a major effort for game preservation

  • Bonus points if you can get them to preserve all the NSFW mods as well.

  • I'd say it's time to push the argument that the Library of Congress needs to be preserving games as part of the cultural history of the USA. If the legislative branch won't abide private efforts then it's time to make the government do it.

  • Thanks for taking the time to respond It's impressive work for a 2 person team.

  • I previously commented that I was interested, so I downloaded the Docker image and set it up. It has potential. I haven't tried too much out on it, but have managed to get it to index and install a subsection of the DRM-free GOG and itch.io games I own.

    One thing I couldn't easily see was how it deals with DLC. I own AI War: Fleet Command along with a handful of expansions which have their own installers. The server picked up the metadata for the main game, but not for the DLC, which are in their own archives. It also didn't pick up a metadata match for "Dungeon Keeper Gold" despite it having an entry in IGDB. What I'd like to do is be able to assign the IGDB ID as part of the filename, much like one can with IMDB, TVDB and TMDB in Plex. It would also be great to be able to store and separately access non-game assets such as manuals.

    Finally, having to use Microsoft Store to install tears at my soul. Is there really no way to distribute a standalone installer?

    Jump

  • I've consistently enjoyed and come back to the following for years:

    • "Make it Sweet" by Milkcan (Um Jammer Lammy soundtrack), 35 mins
    • Forgotten Worlds arcade OST by Kawamoto Tamayo, ~45 mins

    I also like to boot up and listen to the Amiga title music for SWIV and the Mega Drive/Genesis soundtrack of Revenge of Shinobi.

    • AMD Linux Graphics Driver To Switch To More Aggressive Power Heuristics By Default

    Jump

  • Key info, this relates to discrete cards only, not integrated graphics:

    Since Linux lacks the infrastructure for properly and reliably indicating if a full-screen 3D game is running versus another application, this change will just use the full-screen 3D power profile at boot time by default. It's better in the name of performance but with more aggressive ramping of the core/memory clock frequencies it can come with an increase to power use by default.
