Hello
first of all, let me say that i am proud of you guys for having a redump disc website
but, i wanted to know how to get CUE files to be read, because the CUE Sheets I downloaded for the following Games: Barbie Cool Looks Fashion Designer, Barbie as the Princess Bride and Barbie Magic Genie Bottle, aren't readable, is there anyway i can view them? do you recommend any software for doing this? (oh and to the user who uploaded those redump files, i do thank you), keep on the good work with your disc preservation project guys Image

Cues are the plain text files, you can open them with a notepad or any other text editior. If you're expecting these to be the disc images - nope, they aren't.

okay, sorry these aren't disc images, but could some of you please consider donating disc images to Barbie Magic Genie Bottle, Barbie as the Princess Bride, Barbie Cool Looks Fashion Designer, Walt Disney Magical World Quest Racing Tour to this website? https://oldgamesdownload.com/missing-games/ they have an instruction link from that page, the reason i am asking you to do this as there are no available disc image downloads of these games, please share the word around, your help is appreciated here

I'm afraid disc images can't be shared and aren't stored on this site. Some disc images can be found on the internet (shared despite copyright law), but that depends if other people who have dumped the game in a way that produces a matching file, have shared them.

Murky at best.

Get a judge to declare these specific games as abandonware in the jurisdiction of redump's servers, then let's continue the conversation after.

Abandonware is a just a term people use to morally justify sharing copyrighted materials.

Distributing copyrighted works without permission is piracy and illegal.

Contrary to what you may read on "abandonware" sites just because a game is no longer sold and/or is "old" that doesn't make it legal.

You're not getting free gamez here, period.
