Re: [SWCollect] Here we go.....

Ok Ok, don't want to upset my fellow collectors, though I still fail to see your 
logic.  You can't make a fake anything from the 4K computer file and I highly 
doubt it will devalue the game as a collectible to anyone.  Are you going to 
suddenly not want it anymore once you have the emulator image?  How many of us 
really collect the games so we can play them??  I guess some of you must but 
certainly not I..

I will still provide to people upon request however (send me e-mails directly, 
not to the list that is).

Howard I don't think distributing this image of your is a good idea and
I encourage to think twice and not do it.

I'd just like to (as always) voice my concern about how widely these
images
would get distributed.  Not that I'm against preserving it, I'm just
worried
about it falling into the wrong hands and we get inundated with fakes
being
sold as originals.

Before actually sending the game to the high bidder, do you think you
could

completely "preserve" it? There are so few copies that any image of
the

original tape is *very* important. Nobody knows where this tape will
go
and
if it can be properly preserved after you sell it. Also, the game will
have

another trip to the high bidder, which can even more damage the
game...

What you would need to do is to scan *all* documentation, box, tape
(both

sides), etc. at 600 dpi.
The most important is to record both sides of the tape at a very high
rate

(44100 Hz, 16 bit), with proper sound level adjustment. Do you have
the

hardware to do this?
