MoDS and kits

Retro console modding enhances video output, adds region-free play, replaces failing components like optical drives with solid-state alternatives (e.g., ODEs), dead capacitors, improves cooling, or upgrades storage.

​​

All mod kits are sourced from popular retailers, such as 8BitMods, Retro Gaming Cables, RetroSix, PixelFX and professionally installed. There are loads of great content creators displaying what these mods can do, some of the ones we follow on X:
