How the well-known modder is making your SNES look better than ever
If you’ve spent any time looking into modding retro consoles in recent years, you’ll undoubtedly have come across Voultar. As well as providing instructional videos and streams, Voultar designs custom mod kits which are sold via voultar.com, and you can follow his work via @Voultar on Twitter and YouTube. We caught up with him to find out about his modding journey so far, as well as the brand-new SNES Edge-Enhancer video mod.
How did you first get into console modding?
Back in 1999, I often hung around a mom and pop video rental store. The store had a back room where they would ‘chip’ PlayStation systems for customers. The smell of solder and flux permeated the store in the after hours and I loved it. Modding of any sort was incredibly underground and taboo, I knew it was the life for me then!
What motivated you to start designing your own mods?
