What is ModMyClassic.com?

Updated

ModMyClassic.com is the home site for Project Lunar and Project Eris, two modding projects for mini game systems, along with a Discord community for people modding those systems. Its most important current caveat: active development on both projects has been on indefinite hold for over five years, so treat the site as an archive and community hub rather than an actively maintained project page.

What the site offers

The homepage describes itself as the home of Project Lunar and Project Eris and as a "helpful and welcoming Discord community for anyone looking to mod their mini system." In practice, that means three kinds of resources:

  • Project downloads — full packages and desktop apps for the two projects.
  • Archived guides — the original instructions pages, preserved because the live site has not been updated in over five years.
  • Community support — a Discord server that remains active and, per the site, "continues to assist newcomers."

Project Lunar and Project Eris

These are the two named projects the site is built around. The homepage links to:

Resource What it is
Archived Project Eris Page Includes the original instructions
Project Eris v1.0.0 Full Package Download The full release package
Project Eris v1.0.0 Desktop App Download The desktop application
Archived Project Lunar Page Includes the original instructions
Project Lunar Download Page Download entry point for Lunar

Note the version: the Eris downloads are listed as v1.0.0. Since development is paused, expect these to be the final or near-final builds rather than something still receiving updates.

Development status and the server incident

Two things shape how you should use the site:

  1. Development is paused. The site states active development has been on indefinite hold for over five years, and that the archived website "hasn't been updated in over five years" either.
  2. A hosting failure damaged some content. The long-time server provider failed and refused to recover the site's drives, including dedicated backup drives, after a data centre failure. The primary local webserver backup was also corrupted.

The site says the damage is "somewhat minimal" because multiple smaller backups survive, all repositories remain available, and a live archive of the original website exists. Missing elements will be replaced "as and when possible" — so some pages or files may be incomplete or absent.

What still works

  • Repositories — the site states all repositories remain available.
  • Archived site — an archived version (dated 2025 June) is linked for the original guides and instructions.
  • Discord — described as still active and community-driven.
  • Supplementary downloads — RetroArch cores direct from LibRetro, and open source ports hosted on GitLab.

Alternatives worth knowing about

The homepage itself points to alternatives, including Hakchi and newer projects that appeared after development paused. If you want active development or current support, those are the directions the site itself suggests exploring.

How to decide whether to use it

  • Use it if you specifically want Project Lunar or Project Eris, or you want community help from people familiar with modding mini systems.
  • Look elsewhere if you need actively maintained software, guaranteed-complete documentation, or a project with current releases — the paused development and the hosting incident both point that way.
  • Either way, start from the archived pages and the Discord rather than assuming the live site is fully intact.
