    Arrow Technical Knowedge Base (Wiki) Sign-Ups Now Available

    The Digital Press Video Game Technical Knowledge Base (the new wiki) is up and running with open registration at the moment. I kindly request that you please register your account now - preferably with your username from the forum - because after the next day or so we'll be closing the public registration and making registrations an on-request only thing that will need to be approved first by an existing wiki editor.

    Right now the wiki is bare except for a long list of game consoles. Let's fill our wiki up with tech specs, how-tos, and repair guides of all kinds. Please feel free to take knowledge from this forum and other sources when writing your pages, but if needed please do get permission first. And remember, you can upload photos to help illustrate the repair processes and even embed YouTube videos.

    Edit: Sign-ups are now per individual request to combat the spammers. We want your wiki contributions! Please reply to this thread or PM me to get yourself added to our list of Technical Knowledge Base editors. There you can add all the repair steps and console improvement information you can.

    It should be, but we need to reinstall the phpMyFAQ software to find out for sure.

    Although I don't really have much of anything to contribute now, hardware (especially 80s and 90s electronics) has always interested me. With a Wiki I might be more inclined to dig into this stuff.

    Thanks.

    Signed up! Although I might not frequently contribute, I'll add what I can with my spare time. I hope the site does well.
