Looks like checking the checksums is the way to go for the PS2 games, |
| 52 |
somehow I just assumed it wouldn't be that simple. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
I thought that dvdisaster should work for DVDs based on the name, but it |
| 55 |
gives the error "this software does not support DVD-ROM type media" for |
| 56 |
DVD games and also for regular movie DVDs. Maybe the ebuild is limited |
| 57 |
to just CDs for some reason. |
