How to Backup/Dump/Rip PS1 Games Using Brasero on Ubuntu 22.10 (Linux)

I watched this video recently because I was having trouble ripping a ps1 game from the disc and most of the suggestions I could find were imgburn which is windows only and not open source. Unlike the video I used Brasero on pop os 22.04 LTS. Another thing to note is the emulator I used was not picking up the game at first because you need both the cue file and bin file in the game folder unlike with ps2 emulation that requires just one file.

Wolfenstein 3D: We're Going To Be Doing One Thing and One Thing Only...

This is a really good video I found about the game Wolfenstein 3D and video games as a art and what we can learn from the past.

  • If that's the case it probably would have been better to add the legal phrasing onto it without removing the original phrasing. I am happy to continue using firefox as long as they don't break their promise.

    what firefox fork are you switching to?

    With the writing on the wall with firefoxes own version of "don't be evil" being removed I was curious what people on beehaw were switching to.

  • I am glad they are bringing more competition and I have recently made an account on bluesky around new years, But flashes is not a name I would have chosen as that name sounds indecent though I am sure the app itself will be pretty decent.

  • Here is the screenshot to the post on twitter so people don't have to visit that site.

    I left out the video underneath from the screenshot but the destruction it shows is literally worse than the city ruins in fallout. The war criminal responsible for this genocide needs to be stopped!

    Misusing expressions.

    I was on bluesky about to comment on some art someone made and was going to comment it is a diamond in the rough but I did a search to make sure it was rough and not ruff because it is not an expression I use much. When I searched it I found out it meant. "a person who is generally of good character but lacks manners, education, or style; a rough diamond." I just thought it meant hidden gem. Has anyone else misunderstood the meaning of an expression?

  • I am not sure but I have been playing minecraft a lot more lately maybe I will focus on a single world and make it my forever world? As for real life I would say working on a garden since everything besides the Rosemary has died off.

    Random question for those of us that use fidget spinners. Clockwise or anticlockwise?

    Just a random thought I had I think clockwise is the way to go.

    This YouTuber Is Actually Suing Minecraft & Mojang

    TLDR: Mojang is is breaking the law by changing EULA terms without informing anyone while claiming stuff that is written down on their end breaks the EULA without proof of the text that makes it banned, that making it a one sided contract. They also are allowing stuff on the market place which the EULA already bans.

    Thinking of starting a little beehaw minehut server for minecraft what version should I go with? (java)

    I am thinking before 1.19.1 when chat reporting was added. 1.7 to 1.12 seem to have less requirements to run for lower end pcs. Its just some chill fun and not pvp focused so being newer than 1.9 shouldn't matter. I am thinking 1.15 maybe since it added bees. I guess its a compromise between how well the game runs on lower hardware and what features we want.

    Edit: I have decided to go with 1.19 that way we still get frogs/froglights with out having to deal with chat reporting being misused.

    Morning coffee chat

    Good morning Beehaw it is currently 5:30 am in the morning here in Australia Nov 9 2024.
    It may not be morning where you are but it is always morning somewhere on Earth. Plus this chat is more of a vibe. Have you been doing any hobbies lately or discovered a new tv show? Maybe you worked on something and want to share it or you recently found something you are passionate about?

    how would you rate your own beehaw username as a minecraft seed?

    I am considering starting a new world and I am currently trying different seeds. heres some I recently found by using three of the mod usernames.

    Seed: alyaza You spawn at the boarder of a flower forest and a beach.

    Seed: Gaywallet You spawn in a jungle with a river nearby with a village on the other side of the river. Seed: Lionir You start in a Savanna right next to a beach.

    These are some pretty interesting seeds.

    Also I did my own as a seed.

    seed: Gamers_mate You spawn in a jungle next to a small beach with a dark small dark forest on the shoreline of the beach.

    Edit: I forgot to mention I tested these seeds in 1.21.3 (Java) Depending on the minecraft version you use you may get a different result for the same seed. Also it is case sensitive so using any capital letters will give you a different seed.

    Gaming @beehaw.org
    Gamers_mate @beehaw.org

    If you use beehaw.org as a minecraft seed you get a beehive close to where you spawn. (1.21.3)

    My hardcore world dirt house showcase in Minecraft. (video)

    Its my first hardcore world and I thought I would make a video showcasing my dirt house in the style of those old silent films they use to make. I was originally going to put in a joke about how I am the first person to ever build a dirt house in minecraft but decided not to do it. Edit: if there are any invidious instances that are still working let me know so I can add those links to the video as an option. Edit: Now in spectator mode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkCcKUIXWpI

    Building a pc from parts destined for E_waste?

    I was curious if anyone has any tips on where to look for computers/laptops about to be thrown out because its to outdated to run modern windows. I was thinking replacing the OS with a user friendly version of linux and giving it to people that would otherwise have to buy a new laptop/pc. I have heard businesses and schools end up throwing out their old stuff when they get it replaced though idk how I would go about asking.

    A New Law Just Forced Valve To Change Steam. (Steam is still the same but now they have to state that it is a license and not ownership)

    TL:DW Steam has now changed its language from buy game to A purchase of a digital product grants a licence to the product on steam. This may also be non compliant with the new regulation as it still uses the word purchase. Also GOG used this opportunity to let you know their games come with an installer that they cannot take away from you.

    Practicality of making those buttons you push in dvd cases to get the disc out?

    I have a few dvds with some missing their cases and was wondering if anyone has tried making their own. The problem with a lot of tutorials is you already buy a basic case to modify that already have the push buttons. From searching online I have found them refereed to as push hubs and spider hubs though there doesn't seem to be a consistent name for them.

    Would you consider retro a specific era or a line that moves as time goes on?

    For example people consider ps2 retro but I always considered retro being in the 80s and earlier. No right or wrong answers it was just something I was curious about.

    My first day using Pop OS

    I recently decided to reinstall linux mint 21.3 Cinnamon to clean any extra packages I installed over time so I didnt have to manually look for and uninstall packages that I no longer use. Though when I tried to run lutris it would no longer run so instead of trying to get it to work I thought I would try pop os. First thing I noticed when installing Pop OS was the different layout. I was use to the linux mint layout since I went from windows to Mint. I never used Mac so this layout might seem normal for mac users. So far I have reinstalled Lutris and got lord of the rings the battle for middle earth 2 to run. This is part2 of my first post from a few months ago. 1 month of Linux Mint and some thoughts.

    I have been getting into emulation (discussion)

    I have been getting into emulation though there is no emulation community here to talk about it. I assume emulation discussion in gaming is welcome any thoughts?

    What is a hobby nobody else has done that you want to start?

    This seems like an odd question I know but I have been thinking there are probably so many theoretical hobbies that nobody has actually done before.
