The project has identified and cataloged over 450,000 different software images/sets, consisting of over 3.60TB of software, firmware and resources. TOSEC catalogs over 200 unique computing platforms and continues to grow.
The main goal of the project is to catalog and audit various kinds of software and firmware images for these systems. The Old School Emulation Center (TOSEC) is a retrocomputing initiative dedicated to the cataloging and preservation of software, firmware and resources for microcomputers, minicomputers and video game consoles. The collection includes a broad range of software related materials including shareware, freeware, video news releases about software titles, speed runs of actual software game play, previews and promos for software games, high-score and skill replays of various game genres, and the art of filmmaking with real-time computer game engines.
DESCRIPTION The Internet Archive Software Collection is the largest vintage and historical software library in the world, providing instant access to millions of programs, CD-ROM images, documentation and multimedia.
