Very cool...

Not sure why this never makes the front page, as preservation like this should be rewarded with *at least* a nod and a link. I guess you've been blacklisted because of your *evil* countdown, nevermind that it actually counted down to something worthwhile ;) Or perhaps once there's a Linux-compatible method of using IPF images in UAE, TkChris will start reporting...

Keep up the good work, as it is greatly appreciated, even if by a less vocal crowd.

By the way, is there an up-to-date list of wanted games, and/or a list of required hardware/software for DIY dumps (i.e. what specific hardware configuration is necessary to dump a game, and is the software you use to generate a raw capture or a "cooked" IPF freely available for use) ?
