how to rip/backup playstation (psx) games to iso for use with retropie emulationstation retroarch pcsx and other emulators

I had recently been setting up retropie on one of my raspberrypi3's. I found all the psx .iso's I had made years ago ran perfect on the pi3 with retropie. It had been years since I backed up some of my old playstation games, and recently found some more lying around, I decided to add them to my retropie. After searching the internet, I rememberd I used achohol in windoze xp years ago, but now strickly a linux user.

At the time of this writing I am running UbuntuGnome 16.10 on my desktop so I found this method using cdrdao, bchunk, and a bash script

add main universe repo, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add this line save and exit: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu yakkety main universe

Introduction

As proprosed at the Minkata meeting and detailed on the OU forum, this is a demonstration of "minimum of fuss" way to update OU/Cyan Uru clients to a H'uru build. To begin, you will need a clean, up-to-date installation of MOULa. I recommend making a new copy of URU for testing purposes.

Unfortunately, due to the server encryption found on MOULa, you will need to download a new copy of UruLauncher.exe that has been built to connect to the testing server. This launcher build tracks what I believe to be the current copy of Minkata's UruLauncher.exe (HG changeset [748170b85220]). The only change is to the the gatekeepersrv keys. I have included a copy of the server keys in this gist if you want to build your own. The server IP is 155.254.30.62.

Once you have downloaded and replaced UruLauncher.exe, you may begin by running UruLauncher.exe.

Boot Sector Games

A list of playable boot sector games, most of which are on github. Fun to play, great to learn from. There are also many cool non-booting boot sectors out there that aren't games (so more like demos), but this page is just reserved to interactive boot sectors / games. This list is also not complete, but not on purpose, it is a best effort collection of games, so if you know of any fun boot sector games, please contribute.

This page lists a collection of 31 games spanning several authors: nanochess, me, daniel-e, shikhin, JulianSlzr, XanClic, QiZD90, darkvoxels, guyhill, w-shackleton, egtzori, VileR, ish_works, franeklubi, queso_fuego, franeklubi, Jethro82, waternine9, tevoran, palma3k, taylor-hartman. peterferrie should also be mentioned as he has touched a lot of these games.

Tetris Clone. Full color, no score. This was one of the older boot sector games out there. ![tetros](https://gist.github.com/assets/1570856/3a0d1023-cbe6-4b4d-

Godot Clickable Overlap Objects and Deselect

Summary of Problem

If you want to have objects in your game be clickable, one of the most obvious methods is using a Area2D > Texture + CollisionShape2D. When your mouse interacts with the CollisionShape2D it has mouse motion, mouse exited, and input events.

Note: Control nodes have restrictions, eat up all mouse events, and don't work well with deselecting by clicking outside of any objects

The biggest issue is when you click on overlapping objects it will signal both events asynchronously, so there is not an easy way to differentiate the top object being clicked.
