Welcome to Digital Reboot

Digital Reboot is a community project focused on game preservation, modding, console history, and technical documentation. Our goal is simple: keep the knowledge alive.

Whether you are here to learn, archive, mod, repair, or explore the past, this wiki exists to document the hardware, software, and communities that shaped gaming across every era.

What We Do

Game Preservation

We work to save gaming history. That includes games, patches, servers, tools, updates, prototypes, and everything needed to keep them playable. From abandoned titles to lost content, Digital Reboot works to protect it all.

Console Modding and Technical Info

We provide research and documentation for:

Xbox
PlayStation
Nintendo systems
PC game engines and legacy software
Homebrew development, modding tools, and security exploits

All content is written with accuracy and clarity in mind.

Restoration and Repair

Hardware wears out. We focus on keeping old systems running with guides for:

Motherboard revisions
Common failures like RROD, YLOD, and overheating
DVD, Blu-ray, and laser repairs
Controller maintenance
Storage and upgrade guides

Modding Guides and Communities

Digital Reboot documents:

JTAG and RGH
Custom firmware
Save editors and map editors
Halo modding, Call of Duty modding, Source modding, Bethesda modding
PC ports and overhauls
Tools, utilities, and community workflows

If it can be restored, modified, or customized, we cover it.

System Coverage

We aim to archive information on:

Microsoft platforms
Sony platforms
Nintendo platforms
PC engines such as Source, idTech, Unity, Unreal, and more

Each system entry includes:

Hardware revisions
Modding history
Exploits
Devkit and debug information
Tools and firmware
Technical notes and repair info

Our Mission

Digital Reboot exists to preserve everything that should not be forgotten.

Old forums disappear. Tutorials get buried. Downloads vanish. Communities break apart as the years pass.

This wiki is here to collect that knowledge and keep it accessible.

Get Involved

If you enjoy retro gaming, modding, repairing consoles, archiving files, or researching technical history, you are welcome here.

Add pages. Improve pages. Upload history. Every contribution helps preserve something important.

Digital Reboot A place to document gaming’s past and protect its future.
