Recently CRT repair expert Steve from Retro Tech has been consulting for a museum, helping them preserve their collection of pro & consumer CRTs. You may not have considered this before but CRTs have played a huge part in visual art in the 20th century. Almost since they were created, artists have been incorporating them […]
Now that FPGAzumSpass’s PlayStation 1 FPGA core is out to the public, I wanted to highlight one of the coolest features available for flat-panel gamers: True widescreen 16:9 support. There’s been a bit of confusion about this, as certain menu screens (including the PSX BIOS screen) and logos stretch when this mode is enabled, leading […]

Both are “plug and play” devices with no […]
Krikzz just released a new NES core, specifically developed to run on the EverDrive-64 X series of rom carts. NES emulation on N64 is not new as Neon64, an open-source NES software emulator for the N64, has been available for years now. While early revisions of Neon64 suffered from game compatibility, audio, and lag issues, […]

The MiSTer MultiSystem is a project launched in August 2021 by Heber and RMC which combines many of MiSTer’s most popular hardware add-ons into an all-in-one […]
Not long after releasing the PlayStation 2, Sony developed a Linux kit that would effectively turn the console into a personal computer. As wild as that may sound, the kit included everything (minus the monitor) you needed to accomplish this. For the modest sum of $299, you got a mouse, keyboard, 40GB IDE hard drive, […]
Here’s an interview with Todd, who runs the RetroFrog store, as well as the YouTube channel Todd’s Nerd Cave. I’ve known Todd for awhile and it was great to catch up a bit. This is one of those “slide your chair over and join us for a drink” type of chats and I hope you […]
Alpha Mission Core Released and Converted to Multi-Game Core Core developer RndMnkIII has switched his Alpha Mission core to a multi-game SNK arcade core. It will encompass the so-called SNK Triple Z80 platform that groups several games developed by SNK in the mid-1980s. Some of the games included in that platform are: Alpha Mission, IKari […]
