[ GameSX - more tech than you can shake a stick at. ]

As of May 01/2k this site is no longer affiliated with the Game Station X retail outlet. This domain site is not going to change name or location, so your bookmarks are safe. ;) Let me take a moment of your time to explain our purpose here: Information should be FREE. Really - it should! People who hoard information or try to make themselves superior by selling or handing it out in a miserly fashion suck ass. When I first started hacking consoles I had a bitch of a time finding ANYTHING on the web. Either no-one knew anything, or nobody knew more than one thing. So I starting gathering and collecting this data. This collection grew into the GameSX site. I've hacked damn near every console out there, and took pictures of the progress I made. I can personally vouch for most of the mods on these pages, but of course beware! I'm not taking responsibility for your inability to judge these things for yourself. Most of the mods and info here are strictly reference guides - no attempt has been made to make these projects idiot proof. That said, go nuts - enjoy the pages found herein. Please don't steal my hard work and pass it off as your own. Feel free, however, to pass it around or repost it with proper credit given.

September 07/2k	Wow, an UPDATE! Mk II
The updating rampage continues unabated! Threw the pinout for the Fujitsu FM Towns and Marty joysticks online.
September 05/2k	Wow, an UPDATE!
Finally, a decent update! Got a few more things in the pipe, my apologies to everyone sending in mods, moving overseas drains a person, yknow? At any rate, I've got controller data for the MSX & X68000 series' of computers, as well I've added a new bit of Cheap Arcade in the House lovin'. Enjoy! More to come.
July 04/2k	It's been a while!
Fuck, you'd have been forgiven for thinking I died or something!! No updates for four months? I have no excuse - I'm just lazy. My apologies to all who've sent info along, I'll be getting to that RSN. For those who're interested, we're moving to Japan on the 26th of July. It's a permanent move, but I can safely assure you the updates won't be any less frequent from there than here (how could they possibly be?). New info: For those four of you lucky enough to own a JVC/Sega WonderMega/X'Eye, there's an RGB mod for it now, curtesy of Tobias W. Reich.
March 13/2k	Some PS2 Controller Info!
Still no camera, thanks Future Shop! We've opened and solved a PlayStation 2 Controller Mystery and we've got a few new pages going up right away. Thanks to all of you sending in new tech info - I'm sorry I suck at getting this info put online!
March 08/2k	The PS2 Arrives!
Sadly my digital camera bit the big one in a freak crash, and so while I won't have any pics for a while, here is my review of the PS2. It's got a damned sexy box!! Oh, and we've sold our soul to the fine people at Video Game Depot and you can see their ad to the left. They're great guys, click on that link a lot, ok? If you don't want to see their ad, feel free to send me games.
February 21/2k	Finally! An update!!
Some new happenings around here. First off, we've added a Bulletin Board so there's a little more interactivity to the site. Post away - it's your forum. Also, as you may have noticed, we've re-designed the main page AGAIN - to include a link to every page without having to nav the sub-menus. Do you like it? Let me know.
January 18/2k	We're on a rampage!

January 10/2k	Finally!
We've finally updated! There was a broken link to the TurboDuo AV page, so we fixed that. We've also been working on a 3-IC mod for a turbo express so you can play import carts on it without using a bulky adaptor. Watch for that mod real soon now! Also, we're looking for more info on console controllers (dreamcast, etc). If you have anything, please email us.
September 30/99	Hey, cool!

December 2/98	PSX Controller info!
Thanks to the hard work of Andrew J McCubbin we've got some info on the workings of a PSX controller. He's done an amazing amount of work on it, and we're hoping to mirror and/or host anything else he does of interest. Kudos, Andrew! Check out his work here.
