Goombakid has just posted an easy-to-follow install tutorial for the RGB-Pi. I’ve personally been using mine for months now and find it really easy to use if you’re already familiar with how arcade machines and the JAMMA standard work. If not, this tutorial will provide some direction and help out: https://nostalgaming.blogspot.com/2020/01/setting-up-raspberry-pi-33-and-rgb-pi.html Please keep in mind that […]
Legendary translation group DDSTranslation released English translations of Ganbare Goemon 2 and 3 at romhacking.net today. Long considered gems of the Super Famicom library, the legendary Goemon series is starting to open up for English speakers after decades of pleas from fans.

Developer byuu just posted a really interesting article about the current state of SNES emulation and pretty much the only thing left to finish: Individual pixel timings. While this may only affect raster effect accuracy in emulation, it goes much deeper than that… When I was a kid, emulation was a new, fun way to […]
The OSSC is just about the best retro gaming scaler on the market, with only one major shortcoming: It’s not compatible with all TV’s and scalers. This video tests a few common capture cards across both Windows and Mac. While there isn’t a clear winner, this will hopefully point you in the right direction and […]
Insurrection Industries has just released version 2 of the Sega Triple Bypass: https://insurrectionindustries.com/product/genesis_triple_bypass_v2/ The Sega Triple Bypass (3BP) project was started as a way to get the best audio and video quality out of every model Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, as none perform “perfectly”. Generally speaking, Model 1’s have excellent audio, but very noisy video […]
