Main Page

Welcome to the pre-public version of the Videogame Interface Wiki.

The goal of this wiki is to promote non-standard videogame interactions by cataloguing all sorts of videogame interfaces and providing information for game players and game makers on how to make use of them.

The short-term goal is to make this place less empty, then to make it less hideous.

Currently:

• Um-ing and ah-ing over the best way to represent adapter compatibility.
• We've hit 30 controller entries!

More advanced:—

• Create yourself a user page, and use that play with formatting, write drafts, etc.
