As you may or may not have seen in the Video Gaming Forum, Rocky Raccon is spearheading a permanent archive, that is indexed by system, of repair information. One day, this could be the be all and end all resource for classic gaming.
In the same way emulation and roms preserve the efforts of those early artists and programmers, this resource could do the same for the arcane world of classic console repair.
Do you remember a 'how to' you posted in this forum? Search it out, perhaps edit it if needed, and contribute the text of it to the resource, to be indexed for the ages.
We may end up 'proofing' submissions in this forum first, to make sure the fix is comprehensive, safe and worthy. Details to follow.
There is benefit for tech heads in this, as we will be able to avoid re-inventing the wheel so often, and gamers everywhere will be able to breath life into some of their consoles.
Many people around DP see me as the main tech head, because I'm high profile, buy you guys here, and I know that many of you know some systems so well, you wrote the book on it. Think about what you want to share, hunt it down, and share it.
The future of Gaming is in your hands!!!!! ;)
