Detailed description

The Royal Library has a collection of computer games obtained through legal deposit and we would like to media migrate these games. In case of a successful migration we would like to emulate the games so that can be used in a reading room environment.

The dataset consists of games obtained through donation and contains:

Two DOS games on 3.5 discs (both on 1.44 MB and 720 KB discs)
A Windows/Mac game on CD-ROM
A Nintendo 3DS game on some kind of memory card
A Nintendo Wii game on a disc of unknown format
A PS3 games on Blu-ray Disc
A XBOX 360 game on DVD
