[game_preservation] The most significant development in the history of floppy game/software preservation!?

[István Fábián]

Hi Jan and All,

Glad you like it :)

You can already download the software - currently beta 3, but beta 4 will 
probably be out this week - at:
http://www.softpres.org/news:2010-02-19

Our main goal has been preservation for the past 9 years and remains so, in 
fact we've preserved 3000 Amiga games in their unaltered, factory new/gold 
master state.

We plan to extend this effort to ALL (disk based) platforms, and KryoFlux is 
an important part of making that to happen.
Simply backing up disks (in any format) does not guarantee preservation, 
disks should be checked for authenticity (original, not modified in any way) 
and integrity (data is correct) as well - both for which we have technology 
developed throughout the past 9 years.

We've come to the point with our project that it needs to be a dedicated 
full-time job; however this is something that we simply can't afford to do 
without the support of the communities, institutes and organizations, both 
financial as well as material help is needed.

We'd truly appreciate any help we could get.

Feel free to get in touch if you have any specific questions and would like 
to contribute in any way.

Kind regards,
Istvan
