Hello everyone👋

This is my first thread on the forum, hope you like it. Below are links to a collection of files containing, among others: databases of historical sites, dictionaries, various types of logs, password hashes, isos of various OS and programs, etc. The genesis of these files is a certain Chinese http server made publicly available a few years ago, but now it is unreachable (his owner changed the hosting several times, but each time he left the "directory open" so I conclude that he is not a bad webmaster, he did it on purpose to share these files with the world and at the same time found a new hosting using the file index was trivial, but now he's come to his senses and has secured his resources well, I'll link below to an archived version of the original server on thewaybackmachine's site in case anyone wants to dig into it).
I hope you like it. If any of you have some more information about this server, I will be obliged if you share it👌

Enjoy 😎

    Oh yeah it works there now, I didn't use awave because it doesn't really have any useful formats for what I'm trying to do right now (though at this point I might as well get to work and Frankenstein an XS/XF version of this library)

    Wasn't in my plans but might as well

    I did try to convert the version from archive.org to something more usable like GIGA (played by g-player or by exs24) but that went horribly wrong
    Quote Link
  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    G-player under logic (at least 2.0) is buggy as all hell

  • A (Guest) anon:
    If it works for you, I guess it's fine. It really did not look to me like there was anything wrong with the ISO, after the track mode change.

  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    Oh no the iso is fine, thanks for that

  • A (Guest) anon:
    If the archive.org version is the one I think it is, it's exactly the same as the rutracker one.
    Quote Link
  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    Guess it was just a very sloppy conversion job to get it to fit on an AKAI CD
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    And it looks like it's also the same as the magesy one, too.

    it's half the size

  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    Seems to have less programs too
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    I don't know, I have three or four versions I got from different places.
    Quote Link
  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    The archive.org one should be a little over 200mb
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    You are right that the archive.org one was smaller. It also was an ISO, and not a bin+cue.
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    Yup.
    Quote Link
  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    Yeah forgot to mention it was an iso
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    Anyway, the AKAI stuff itself does not look particularly wrong. If anything, I guess something went wrong when ripping it; but it's really strange that it would result in a cue file with the wrong track type.

    What's Mode 2 used for anyway? Never gave it a single thought
    Quote Link
  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    with that said I haven't burned a CD in well over a decade
    Quote Link
  • N (Guest) Notxeraser:
    I think the last time I did it was to burn a copy of SSBB to a DL DVD for some reason
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    I'm not sure. I think it's something to do with CD-XA.
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    Essentially, mixing CD-ROM and CD-DA tracks in a single CD.
    Quote Link
  • A (Guest) anon:
    Not sure what mode 2 would have to do with skipping the first 8 bytes, however.
