Stored in the factory seal since 2005. Unreadable, some drives do not even recognize a disc. Preservation is not just storing aside and hoping for the best!

Libraries, museums and professionals have limitations. But in most countries individuals have exceptions that allow them to preserve computing history. We will keep working in the easiest and most exact tools as we can for this purpose.

Today, the U.S. Copyright Office announced that it would not support the needs of libraries and archives to increase access to video game history, leaving over 87% of classic games legally inaccessible through any practical means.

While we are disappointed, the fight is not over. See our full statement here.

It's been a long day, but our first supported archive format is full in. Symbian Installation Files for EPOC Release 3 to 5 (and Release 6 if uncompressed and without scripts) are totally supported. Tested 1117 files without errors.
