Hi, I am IT student interested in retro gaming. I've been following your site for a while now. I really like your work and the idea of preserving disc information. I'd like to be a small part of your project and add some of the discs you're looking for. And I hope to add many more titles in the future as my game library grows. For some time, I've been wondering how to check and test the condition of discs from the data perspective, and how data corruption, such as scratching, affects gameplay. I would like to develop a system that verifies where corrupted data is located on the disk, checks the database for a tree of folders and files, and answers the question of whether the game is playable, playable with bugs, or will freeze at some point during gameplay. I think your database can give me a lot of details of how different types of discs works, what security methods different titles have. I know I'm not the first or last person to think about this, and I could find many people here who would be willing to collaborate on this.
