How to Get Help Modding Your Mini Console Through ModMyClassic.com

Updated

ModMyClassic.com is the home of Project Lunar and Project Eris, two modding projects for mini consoles, and its Discord community is still active and welcoming to newcomers. That community is your main route to help: active development on both projects has been on indefinite hold for over five years, but members continue to assist people who are new to modding. The site also points to alternative projects such as Hakchi if you want to explore other options.

What ModMyClassic.com Is

ModMyClassic.com describes itself as the home of Project Lunar and Project Eris, plus a Discord community for anyone looking to mod their mini system. The site states plainly that active development on its projects has been on indefinite hold for over five years, while the community "remains very much active and continues to assist newcomers."

That split matters when you are looking for help. The software side is frozen; the people side is not.

Where to Get Help

The Discord community is the primary support channel the site promotes. According to the site, it "remains active and driven by a friendly and supportive community." If your goal is troubleshooting, setup questions, or general guidance on modding a mini console, that is where the site directs you.

The site also notes that alternative projects, such as Hakchi, and newer projects that appeared after development paused are available to explore if you are interested.

Downloads and Guides That Are Still Available

Even with development paused, the site lists working links to downloads and an archived version of the original website:

Resource What it is

Project Eris v1.0.0 Desktop App Download Desktop app
Archived Project Lunar Page Includes instructions

Archived Website (2025 June) Original guides and instructions

Open Source Ports Gitlab

The site states that all repositories remain available and that it has access to a live archive of the original website, which — like the projects — has not been updated in over five years. It also says it will try to replace missing elements as and when possible.

What Happened to the Site's Backups

The site explains that its long-time server provider (over five years) failed and refused to recover its drives, including dedicated separate backup drives, after a server failure in their data centre. The primary local webserver backup was also corrupted. Despite this, the site says multiple smaller backups survive, repositories remain available, and the archived original website is accessible, so the damage is "somewhat minimal."

Practical Takeaways

  • If you need help: join the Discord, which the site describes as active and newcomer-friendly.
  • If you need files: use the archived Project Eris and Project Lunar pages, the Project Eris downloads, the Project Lunar download page, and the June 2025 archived website.
  • If you want alternatives: the site itself suggests Hakchi and newer projects that emerged after development paused.
  • Set expectations on updates: the projects and the original website have not been updated in over five years, and future development remains paused.
