<![CDATA[Redump Forum — [Resolved] Operating System]]> 2021-04-18T00:01:10Z PunBB http://forum.redump.org/topic/35737/resolved-operating-system/ <![CDATA[Re: [Resolved] Operating System]]> We need to split the PC section first to accept OS and software discs (DOS/Win16/Win32/Win64/Nix/BeOS/whatever else) and probably add per-category dats, otherwise it will be unmaintainable due to too many titles in it.

Microsoft Plus! 98: Companion for Windows 98 contains some games, so it's within scope for Redump.

Techincally, almost every Windows OS release has some games (Solitaire/Minesweeper; Win95 CDs had Hover!, etc.)

Thanks, I'll keep this exceptional (and strange) rule in mind.

I don't know if Microsoft Windows 95 Companion: With USB Support is similar, since contents are not listed and a quick Google didn't return too much specific information. Most likely it was allowed for the same reason, I believe.

All the others are either games or stuff related to Dreamcast (this PC disc is a devkit for Dreamcast) and FM Towns, which is allowed.

FM Towns is a rather special platform, especially the earlier version could be seen as kind of a console. But the person mainly responsible for decisions around FM Towns would have to chime in for a substantiated explanation.

Thank you for the information.
I read these, but why are there a few Microsoft Windows and many FM Towns applications registered?

Should I dump operating system discs?

No. We are not accepting information about operating system discs unless the disc is used in a console. For example: http://redump.org/disc/15004/ and http://redump.org/disc/12542/.
