User:Jimmsta

Hi, I'm jimmsta. I've been a member of the beta scene since 2003 or so. I was a member of the original OSBA, and have been on BetaArchive since its inception.

For years, I spent countless hours turning over every stone on World of Warcraft development history, and eventually one of the developers wrote a book on the subject - The WoW Diary (John Staats, 2018). I wrote many of the WoW articles on the wiki during the early days, and will try to spruce them up to the newer wiki standards, with appropriate information and screenshots.

On other forums, I'm known as akspa or akspa420. This has caused some confusion in the past with regard to who has found or released information about old WoW builds. Yep, that's me.

I'm also active in the Xbox emulation scene - or at least, in the testing part of it. I test XQEMU and Cxbx-Reloaded. I also have the equipment and knowledge to get games dumped properly according to redump.org's standards. I own a kryoflux to dump older software according to the BetaArchive policies for Archiving.

I am active in diagnostics and repair of Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles as well.
