MPF VS nnn

As an example, one of the main tools for dumping that you will find on their guide (MPF) even has an option to dump the disc twice and compare the hashes because sometimes due to a variety of reasons, like scratches, aged laser diode, copy protection shenanigans, etc. the disc won't be read correctly so the hashes won't match.

I can recommend https://github.com/saramibreak/DiscImageCreator . It handles all kinds of weird formats and copy protections, and it's open source! You can use https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF as the frontend if you like.

Be aware that some games are MIA (Miss In Action), so it's kinda pointless to try to find them, except if you have an original copy of those games and you dump it yourself by using the Media Preservation Frontend tool ( https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF/releases/latest ).

Try using this tool to make images of the discs: https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF

There is a preservation group called redump.org that preserves all sorts of disc based content ranging from CDs, DVDs, HD-DVDs, Blu-Rays and Video Games. They use a program called MPF (Media Preservation Frontend) which can be found here..

Best tool to dump disc based games it's the MPF, it can also be used to report the hashes to the redump database: https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF/releases/latest

How do you rip your games? Some of them come with pretty tricky copy protection. Still trying to figure out a consistent "one shot" method. Currently using a combination of MPF and Alcohol.

Media Preservation Frontend software allows doing quality dumps and generate the log to report redump.org, you can dowload the latest version here: https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF/releases/latest

If you want a file full browser experience choose nnn: https://github.com/jarun/nnn . If you have a desktop file for Helix you can use the Gnome Files program to make all your programming language files open in Helix.

The other option is to just download the static version https://github.com/jarun/nnn/releases/download/v4.9/nnn-nerd-static-4.9.x86_64.tar.gz and overwrite the Debian executable at /usr/bin/nnn, but this seems a bit hacky, agreed?

You can get the 'default' nuke plugin script from https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/plugins/nuke and customize it if you need to. You define files by extension or mime type and set default and fallback apps to be opened with.

I like nnn ( n3 ).

The icon-theme seems to be driven by your terminal font as detailed in `src/icons-in-terminal.h & icons.h, and the choice of "terminal-icon vs nerd-fonts vs emoji" appear to be hard-wired at compile-time rather than at run-time.
