Extracting files from xbox 360 discs is my last hurdle. Unfortunately linux systems won’t let you have files with ~ in, meaning I need to do it on windows. Once I’ve backed up all my discs (completely legally) I can finally ditch that partition.
I’m pretty sure all the Linux filesystems I’ve ever used don’t care about tilde. You might have to escape it or quote it if you’re typing it into a shell, since the shell might try to replace it with your homedir, but I don’t think the FS cares.
On my ext4 FS I was able to touch me~ow just now with no issues.
It’s something to do with the extraction not liking it, when I run the same disc through the same program on windows it runs fine but doing it on Linux throws an error.
Yeah it’s the program, ~ is not an issue in filenames, Vim even uses it as a character in the temp file it creates when editing a file. Is a VM something that could work for that specific usecase? I know I have one just to upddate my logitech devices
I’ve found a better program that’s more reliable, it’s still on windows but in a few more sessions I’ll have all my discs ripped and can ditch the whole thing
I don’t know a lot about stuff, but is there a reason you’re backing up the files off the disks, rather than imaging the disks into an ISO or something? I’ve never owned a 360 disk, so maybe there’s some reason I don’t know.

So I can play them on my modded 360
