I haven't seen any discussion of this console on here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandy_Vide … ion_System

I have a single VIS disc to dump, and no console. It seems to be mostly a standard formatted CD (which makes sense, seeing as the console was just basically a stripped down PC running a custom Windows).

Has anyone dumped any of this machine's discs before, or will my hashes for "Sail with Columbus" be the first?

TOSEC/TruRip guys dumped most of these, single-track titles & no protection, AFAIK.

Is it still worth having them in the database though? Redump is basically the video game version of Discogs - you generally don't find information like barcodes, disc matrix/ringcodes, disc features (e.g. games on a demo disc), or box/disc scans in an XML file - not that Redump has gone that far yet (it would be nice though).

Everything is worth being in the database smile

Except applications, of course.

I'm sure applications and OS discs will eventually be added, just like non-arcade games were added to MAME (e.g. slot machines). Movies and audio discs will probably remain off-limits though, although I would like to see something a bit more in-depth compared to IMDb (where searching for a movie will generally return one result only - the original film, rather than a myriad of VHS, Beta, VCD, DVD and Blu-Ray releases for example). Discogs at least shows different pressings for each CD, provided someone has added them.

Db should be modified to handle them properly, that's the only issue.
