Collection of Guides

[Ziggy]

This thread will be a work in progress for now. There's many great guides that forum members have written, but they tend to get "lost," so I would like this thread to be a central location for them.

For now I'll just dump links I have bookmarked (or threads I know of extemporaneously) but once there's enough I'll divide them into categories. I'll keep the list up to date, and I encourage members to try and keep there guides up to date.

EVERYONE, please post links to guides in this thread so that I can add them to the list. Whether it's your guide or not, post the link. If you know of some that exist, please try to locate it and post it here. Thanks.

The List of Guides, v1:

Most of this could probably be found at gamesx but I like the comparisons of RGB and such for anyone that's interested. Screenshots are nice too.

Most of this seems too complex for me but some guides on USB-ing your retro controllers.

I did this Genesis S-Video Mod myself so it's very possible, and I highly recommend if you can't get RGB.

This thread was kinda forgotten about in favor of the Guides section we now have...

http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=52

Maybe ask a mod to move your thread to that section?
