Add Save File Converter to the front page?

Hey, I was wondering if it made sense to link to the github for Save File Converter: https://github.com/euan-forrester/save-file-converter under "Other Guides" on the main page? It seems in line with the links to the Open Source Cartridge Reader and BlueRetro githubs.

It's an open source online tool that converts legacy save file formats like DexDrive, GameShark, or Wii Virtual Console to more modern formats that can be written to original hardware or used in modern emulators. The github contains documentation on and implementation of all of the supported formats, and the readme has lots of links to further information.

Or maybe a link somewhere to the main save file converter site? https://savefileconverter.com/ -- User:Euan

Great idea! I wasn't aware of this tool. I've added it next to BlueRetro and OSCR. Thanks!! Derf (talk) 04:49, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

Awesome! Thank you! -- User:Euan

AV Equipment page

Hey there! Can we get a new category on the main page for AV equipment? I'm ready to contribute a bunch of stuff for laserdisc players, and I'm sure there are other things out there for AVRs, VHS, VHD, etc... Once we have a good section for that, I will start documenting all the stuff I have for laserdisc mods! :) -- User:That1crzywhtguy

Hey! I think we want to keep the scope at the "devices used to play games" level for now (well, yes, there are a handful of VHS games but). So laserdiscs would be fine since there's lots of laserdisc games and add-ons like the Genesis LD pack and whatnot. Would you want to go ahead and flesh out a landing page for Laserdisc? I can make a namespace for it soon. Derf (talk) 22:34, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

I was also thinking of things like receivers for gaming setups, and compiling magnetically shielded speakers that are safe for use near CRTs, figuring that would go under AV.

Sorry if I was incorrect in thinking the scope of the wiki would cover these things if that's not the intention.
