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!
