I could do some hi-rez scans of some console motherboards, if you wish. Also I think that my Samples/Sources thread should be stickied, but that is for a mod to decide.

As well as hi-res scans of console motherboards, it would be useful to have guides on composite / S-video and RGB modding the boards too - NTSC and PAL

Regards the samples/sources thread DNT - how about a list of pics and items you can get as free samples from them?

Most of them are almost limitless, almost all of them offer a full inventory of free samples, much like Texas Instruments.

Sounds like a good idea. Thanks.

I honestly didn't even know where to begin! You have so much info on your site, I was thinking about just linking to it instead of individual links. But who knows, I'll clean up the first post in the sticky thread once I have enough links. Maybe I'll put the effort in to link individual things on your site if I can get everything sorted into categories.

That'd be great.

I like it. I put a link to that thread in the sticky thread.

Imgburn is great, i've uninstalled every burning software and exclusively use it but yet to try it for dreamcast and saturn which are the more troublesome.

Here's a few forum links:

Thanks for the links, guys. I'll edit them in and fix up the Guide thread as soon as I get the chance.

This, if done right, could be very useful. It means rummaging through all old posts, but worth it.

All useful links per console system would be useful!

If I can get my Dina 2-in-1 console working nicely, the mods I do to it could be useful here too!! :wink:

JewWario did a video detailing how to make a Japanese PSN account and navigate all the language barriers.

Agree the Sources of Samples/Great products for your Mods is a very useful reference, though the latest replies have not been added to the OP. Actually DNT 2.5 's second Reply could be condensed to the OP as well for an easier read.
