[game_preservation] News Release: Stanford Libraries preserves historical software collection with Federal Agency

[REDON Joseph (gamepres)]

Same here in Japan.
We've spent the last 5 years to develop tecnologies in order to properly archive tapes and floppies for oldest systems.
And we're not completely ready yet.
Games are heavily protected and no preservation can be done with just data extraction.
I would love to know which technology is ready to use for this ambitious project.
As far as I know Apple ][ is sure one the most difficult piece.

Best regards,

Joseph Redon
