A couple of small updates

I haven’t been doing much with this site anymore, partly because there haven’t been a lot of changes but mostly because I’ve lost interest, but I figured I’d make a couple of small changes that should be beneficial. The main thing is that previously this site has been mostly dedicated to video mods, but I think it would be more useful if it becomes a repository of all the mods available. Mods are being updated to include audio mods, region mods, and other sorts of things like that. As new ones become available or old ones are discontinued, I’ll try to do a better job of updating the pages.

I’m also going to add links to related accessories for consoles like flash carts, external video adapters, ODEs, and other handy things that might not be immediately obvious to everyone. I’ll include links to stores where applicable, but I’m not sponsored by or endorsing any particular store. If possible, I’ll just link to the “official” pages so that customers can make their own decisions about where to buy from. And I think that’s about it for now!

Move is complete

I’ve now finished moving all of the guides from the old wiki to this site. There are still a handful of revision/specs-related things I need to put on Wikipedia, I think, but all the guides are hosted here now. The scope of what this site is about has also changed somewhat in the process. With all the specs and revisions moving to Wikipedia, I’ve eliminated those from the pages here. I’m also moving away from hosting schematics as most of those are available from Console 5 or can be found with quick searches anyway. Links to software will also be external links again.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Retro Modding Wiki! The goal of this project is to create a one-stop shop for all things retro modding. As you probably know, there are a lot of mods and resources on the web, but they are scattered all over and often very difficult to find. The idea is to take all that information and collect it in one easy-to-use resource.

However, I am also trying to keep in mind that a lot of these people have worked really hard to put together their own resources. I don’t want to step on any of their toes, but, to really make this as useful as I hope it will be, there will definitely be some overlap. Not trying to piss anyone off, just want to make a useful resource for the community.

Current priorities:

  1. Service manuals and schematics for each console
  2. Complete list of mods for each console
  3. Complete revision history for each console
  4. Complete specifications for each console
  5. CRT pages – format to be determined (this is way down the road)
