[[File:RetroModding.png|right|300px]]'''Retro Modding Wiki''' is the definitive resource containing all of the information gathered on formats used throughout Retro Studios' games. These games are, of course, the critically-acclaimed Metroid Prime Trilogy and the Donkey Kong Country Returns games. Our goal is to have a complete understanding of every file format and function in Retro Studio's games so that we can build level editors, import brand new assets, and create mods.

==History==

RMW started out as a [https://m2k2.taigaforum.com/post/metroid_prime_hacking_research.html forum post about hacking and modding Metroid Prime] created by [[User:Parax0|Paraxade]]. For the very first time since Metroid Prime's release in 2002, more progress has been made than ever before on hacking and modifying the Metroid Prime series.

Several months after the forum post, so much progress had been made, it had become rather difficult to find information and collaborate on hacking files, so it was decided that a repository or a central hub of information would be needed to track down all the file formats and progress made. Since Retro Studios, the team behind the Metroid Prime Trilogy and Donkey Kong Country Returns series, utilizes the same game engine for all of their games, we chose Retro Modding Wiki to name our resource as all this information encompasses all of their games.

On January 22rd, [[User:Nate|Nate]], owner of Metroid2002.com, was gracious enough to host this wiki on his website. Several contributors from the original forum including [[User:Antitote|Antidote]], [[User:Bearborg|Bearborg]], [[User:MrSinistar|MrSinistar]], [[User:Embyr 75|Embyr 75]] and several others soon joined to further support this challenging hacking endeavor.
