What We Do

Game Preservation

We care about saving gaming history — not just the games themselves, but the tools, updates, patches, engines, servers, and everything that makes them playable. From abandoned multiplayer titles to forgotten prototypes, Digital Reboot documents it all.

Console Modding & Technical Info

We provide detailed breakdowns and community research on:

  • Xbox (Original, 360, One, Series)
  • PlayStation (PS1 through PS5)
  • Nintendo systems (NES to Switch)
  • PC game engines, source ports, and legacy software
  • Homebrew development, modding tools, and security exploits

Everything is written with respect for historical accuracy and technical clarity.

Restoration & Repair

Hardware ages — and we fix it. This includes:

  • Motherboard revisions
  • Known failures (RROD, YLOD, DVD lasers, PSU faults)
  • Repair methods & hardware diagrams
  • Controller maintenance
  • Storage upgrades & SSD/HDD guides

We focus on keeping older systems alive for future generations.

Modding Guides & Legacy Communities

Digital Reboot documents:

  • JTAG/RGH, CFW, softmods, exploits
  • Save editors, map editors, patch editors
  • Halo modding, CoD modding, Source Engine modding, Bethesda modding
  • PC game overhauls and ports
  • Tools, utilities, and community-built software

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

System Coverage

We aim to archive every major platform:

  • Microsoft – Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Series
  • Sony – PlayStation 1–5
  • Nintendo – NES to Switch
  • PC – Source Engine, idTech, Unity, Unreal, classic Windows, etc.

Every console page will include:

  • Hardware revisions
  • Modding history
  • Known exploits
  • Debug/devkit info
  • Tools and firmware
  • Performance and technical notes

Our Mission

Digital Reboot exists for one purpose:

To document everything that shouldn’t be forgotten.

The old forums are disappearing. The tutorials are buried. The files are being lost. And the communities that built the early modding scene deserve a permanent home.

This wiki is our way of preserving that knowledge — clearly, simply, and respectfully.

Anyone passionate about:

  • retro gaming
  • console repair
  • modding
  • file preservation
  • reverse engineering
  • research
  • archiving

…is welcome here.

Add pages. Fix pages. Upload history. The more we build, the more we preserve.
