New game now completable in SuperSakura dev-branch: Rose Blood (#Aaru, 1996). Supports both Windows and #PC98 version of the game, although no music on the PC98 one. It's a kind of detective thriller. Was a bit tricky to get the palette-swap tech to work for night-time backgrounds, but somehow I got it to look fine. ^^;

This is still a very alpha functionality being developed in #Aaru: graphical representation of the sectors of an optical disk.

Green in for valid sectors, yellow for unknown, grey for undumped.

You can see on this one that there are 9 sessions (the 8 parts in grey are the intersession spirals)

Natalia, the lead developer of the #Aaru open-source project, have just published the latest progress report:

#Aaru Technical Committee is gathering this weekend.

We will be discussing usual themes (roadmap, next version...) but if you have any question/subject that you would want the Technical Committee to discuss, please share it with me.

If you have any questions about the #Aaru open-source project (media dump/image, file extraction...), you can contact me here on Mastodon.

You can also contact @TheRogueArchivist :)

If you're a user of #dd #GuyMager #ddrescue #dvdisaster, you should consider having a look at Aaru: https://www.aaru.app

The #Aaru dev team is working on the Aaru File format v2 that will take into account flux level floppy images (amongst other novelties) and support for existing floppy image file format will be added.

@flibble On my side, flux with the Pauline (made by the same people as HxC). Conversion usually to RAW/img since, at least for work, I do mostly data floppies. Folder/file extraction with #Aaru.

For anything else than floppies, I use #Aaru and dump to Aaru image format.

On a pu découvrir en particulier, les outils suivants :

You have three good resources to start using #Aaru:

- The documentation: https://www.aaru.app/

- A LiveCD based on ArchLinux which includes Aaru: https://archive.org/details/archaaru-2022.10.11-x86_64

- A LiveCD based on Knoppix 7.2 which includes AaruRemote: https://archive.org/details/knoppix-v-7.2.0-cd-2013-06-16-en-aaruremote

#AaruRemote is a small executable made to run on older hardware that cannot run Aaru. After launching it, you can perform all Aaru actions remotely through the network.

@nkrabben good. #Aaru 6.0 is in the pipeline with a lot of good stuff.

@nkrabben Thanks for going with #Aaru. We have a private Discord where we can invite GLAM users.

@bitsgalore as you know, I'm more of an #Aaru software user so no idea, but I am boosting the question.

To continue a bit on the #introduction toots, I was very honoured to present some of my work at #iPres2022 in Glasgow, about our use of the #Aaru software and the floppy dumping hardware #Pauline at the Cinémathèque suisse. The short paper is now published in the iPres2022 proceedings.

Since I moved recently to the digipres.club instance, a short #introduction is necessary. (thread 1/2)

I'm Robin FRANÇOIS, from France but now living in Switzerland. With almost 10 years in IT security, I work now as a digital archivist at the Cinémathèque suisse (Swiss National Film Archive).

I have been investing some time on data storage media, through which I discovered the #Aaru software for imaging/analysing media. I am also part of the #Aaru Technical Committee.
