Hi David, Yes, that's something that's on the list for some time now. The official lib will come with the hashes for all 4,000 releases "out in the wild", new ones will be signed. Back in the day simply keeping it closed was easier, quicker, and also did the job. I understand that being open has to do with trust, hence the lib was opened as promised. To give you a brief sum up of what has happened since 2001: The project / org was founded by a programmer (Istv?n F?bi?n) that was so upset about only pirated, obfuscated copies of his games being in circulation that he tried to submit the games to some project that would care about storing true and unmodified original mastering data. There was none, so CAPS (The Classic Amiga Preservation Society) was born. F?bi?n developed a toolchain that would allow for using an Amiga 1200 (which has a special floppy controller; actually none) as the ingestion device. This data would then be processed and stored as IPF files. Over the years the toolchain and the number games preserved grew. The project was renamed to SPS (The Software Preservation Society) as it became evident that other platforms had the same (no mastering data being preserved) problem. It also became evident that the Amiga as the ingestion device won't be around forever. It is a dying platform. Hence other technology was inspected but no solution satisfied our needs (capturing unprocessed flux changes as delivered by the drive). By 2008 the project had spent more than EUR 50.000 on buying games; most of this money was donated by project members. Please consider: There are a few games you care about personally, but you pretty quickly reach the point where you have acquired all games that matter to you? In 2009 we picked up the Cyclone20 project by Rich Aplin. Rich and me worked for Cachet back in the day and Rich was the inventor of the original Cyclone (a duplication tool that would force feed data read to the target drive). Rich had lost interest so we decided to develop the proof of concept to something usable. It took us about 1,5 years to redesign everything and to move from prototype to production status. Just for the record? until then we only had gotten very few donations for SPS which were spent on - you might have guessed it - buying and preserving games. The digital assets produced are given to libraries, museums and back to the original contributors. Some of these also share the images. Something we can't do ourselves without jeopardising the project. When KryoFlux was ready we decided to sell it trough a company, to protect ourselves (things can go wrong, people can try to sue, etc. - you don't want to risk your personal life for a hobby) and to give this thing a legal basis to build upon. When you sell hundreds of boards, regardless of your margin, you better are registered for electronics recycling and you better pay tax. The money earned is intended to pay for the expenses, but also help establish SPS as an NPO, and of course? help buying more games. In Japan, gamepres, run by one of our members, was already accepted as an NPO. Because of this, KryoFlux was never made because we thought it was a cool thing to sell, it was and still is the tool we needed and we made it happen after several others said they could / would, but never did. I have no idea when I really spent an evening on playing a classic game? It for sure does. But when you are a group of five or less, you have to focus on something. Games came with high profile protection techniques. These can't be stored by standard sector dumps. It was therefore decided to focus on the most precious stuff and hope that others would do the more easy part. But we always took dumps of apps when we could get them, and we still do. We e.g. have various versions of DPaint. A quick look in the archive shows we have 2-5, physically and digitally. Maybe the above helps explain things? It's odd, but things become really complicated once money is in the game.
