Backing up discs now will have a huge benefit later. That is we have a way of keeping those games that will be tied up in licensing purgatory, or delisted on digital storefronts. So if you can digitize your games and use ODEs, or Flash carts. You in theory could play your entire physical game collection for decades. Digital is another problem.

Adam you do such thorough walk through of retro gameplay topics in a format thats pretty casual yet well organized and easy to listen to. Been watching since I was 15 in 2015!

You have to give Adam credit for backing up his entire disc based collection as that must require a ton of effort. I bet the vast majority with extensive collections wouldn't even think about it, even though disc rot is eventually going to happen. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if more than 99% of those using optical drive emulators to play images simply download the Redump sets for convenience (myself included)

Not the historian we deserve, but the one we need.

For PS3, I recommend ripping the games on the console itself with custom firmware and a program called MultiMan, It can even rip PS1 and PS2 games (even on non-PS2 compatible PS3s).

When I bought Sonic Adventure 2 for the Dreamcast, the game played perfectly until the end of the Hero Story. It would crash every single time. When I bought a second copy, it played fine. If you have the resources available to you, backing up your disc games is so important, even if it's just to validate them.

Wow that's like one of your top videos you have ever made. Really interesting stuff. Thorough and helpful!

I thought disc rot was a myth until I dug up some of my old PC games from the late 90's. A couple had black spots and one had deterioration around the outer edge. Luckily I've been migrating to ODEs for my consoles because dealing with worn disc drives is a huge pain. Optical discs were fine in their heyday but they haven't withstood the test of time.

It really depends on how they were made. I'm gonna just put this out there. If they were Japanese made discs they probably gonna outlive you. If it was made somewhere with less care for quality then it might get the rot. The majority of badly mad discs wouldn't last a decade and would be dead by now and out of circulation.

Thank you for making this video. I find myself returning to it rather often. I have a question regarding backing up Playstation 1 games, more specifically those PS1 games that are multi-track (i.e. where there are separate tracks on the disc from the data). When I rip the disks and check the hashes afterwards, I find that the first track, containing the data, is dumped correctly, but all the audio tracks get incorrect hashes. Is this something you have encountered, and if so do you know what the solution is? I am guessing it has something to do with "pregaps", whatever that is, but I don't know.

Great video as always Adam! Gosh, this brings back memories for sure. I also am one of the OG's from back then that backed up all their games.. CDRWin, CloneCD, Disc Juggler and Nero Burning ROM were some of my tools of the trade. I spent countless hours researching how to do this and that.. modded nearly all my consoles for the purpose of playing backups.. except for the PS4 (I know there is a firmware exploit for that one, but haven't gotten around to it) and well the Xbox One is still as of yet unexploitable. On a side note, for PlayStation 1 era games, I actually found a hardware based professional CD duplicator made by TASCAM that ripped PS1 games 1:1 to blank CD-R's. It worked near flawlessly (granted the original source disc was not too scratched up), and hence no computer was needed for those games. When I get home I may leave the model number of this TASCAM duplicator for reference. Just another option if anyone had acquired something like that. On the topic of scratched discs.. I remember how GameStop (EB Games in Canada) constantly tried to sell me their warranty on games.. Well guess what? I said no to that extra charge every time. To this day, all my games disc/cartridge still work, and are in immaculate condition. But yeah, I never understood how used games were always so bad.. I found discs from previous owners that were scratched up the wazoo and even spilled with pop drinks and gum... Seeing that kind of abuse to these discs just breaks my heart.

Nice info! Now all we need is a piece of software that we can load our image files to, have it recognize what images they are, automatically build a database of them for us to reference, and also be able to compare the image files with a known good image file database (maybe an online one) to compare the two images to make certain our image file we just created matches the verified original images and maybe give us a CRC check of some kind (in the background or on the side) along with a message if the image is confirmed correct or not... and if not then what is missing from it.

I love emulation! I have well over 10,000 games and productivity software (the productivity software is for my old computer emulators like the Amiga, the Atari St and BBC Micro etc.) 😁 Yes, I do buy games but only for the PC and nothing else. And consoles that I cannot emulate I couldn't care less for. Very interesting video. Thank Adam. I was wondering if the Dreamcast was really 1gb or it was just the disk fooling it that it was 1gb (you know like the fake 2tb $15 USB Thumb Drives you can get.)

Will you be doing PS4 / Xbox birthday videos this year mate?

I for one cannot wait

Once I got a used Kingdom Hearts PS3 disc, and it the visuals and audio messed up in the middle of a prerendered cutscene.

So i've been running into some issues with immaculate discs being unreadable for some reason on a couple of consoles - immensely frustrating. Does the Disc2app rip a disc that spits out a disc error on the normal wii u?

That entirely depends on the disc itself. Wii U discs are annoying, they can break for seemingly no reason at all

@@AdamKoralik Gotcha. Yeah, mine looks spotless, practically the best disc I own. But the wii u won't read it. Really sucks, especially with the eShop shutting down....won't be many options available if this stuff isn't backed up.
