Does the mCable Gaming Edition ad lag!? In short, no. Please watch the video anyway though and remember to subscribe, retweet, etc… One important thing for retro gamers to remember is that this cable won’t process interlaced video, it’ll just pass it through. It will still work with 480i games through the OSSC (PS2, GameCube, […]
Japanese company Columbus Circle has announced a plug-and-play device for the PC Engine called the “HD for PCE HDMI Booster”. This device will output RGB via a Genesis 2 connector and will also include what looks like a cheap analog-to-digital HDMI adapter. Release is scheduled for August at 3,500 yen (approx $35): https://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1185644.html I’m always extremely skeptical of […]
Last week, SNES hacker Vitor Vilela posted a free patch for Gradius III that takes advantage of the SA-1 chip to drastically reduce the in-game slowdown. Well, Voultar wanted to put that patch to the test on real hardware! Voultar used a custom chip adapter board from The Real Phoenix and an SHVC-1L5B donor cartridge […]

Panic Inc. a company who has (for many years) been known for making Mac applications and in the past few years has started helping publish indie titles such as Fire Watch and the Untitled Goose Game is now making a handheld called The Playdate. The playdate is a monochrome screened simplified handheld that will be […]
The team behind the RGB-Pi, one of my two favorite Raspberry Pi RGB “hats” (see below) has just teased an upcoming JAMMA adapter! What made the original RGB-Pi stand out to me was it’s simple hardware design, matched with excellent software that boots each game in it’s original resolution and refresh rates. As long as […]

Video of the interview is available on YouTube (above) as well as BitChute and LBRY (below). An audio-only version, is available on iTunes, Google […]
qwertymodo has recently released a mod for the Super Game Boy that allows you to correct the clock speed to match the original Game Boy’s. As explained in the Super Game Boy section, Game Boy systems run at a clock speed of 4.194 MHz and the SGB runs at 4.295 MHz. This causes a video “stutter” […]

I just posted a continuation of my previous video capture video, that shows how you can use inexpensive equipment to stream or capture retro gaming consoles in Full HD 1080p without an upscaler. In fact, if you already have a spare computer and monitor, it’s possible you can achieve the same results for less than two hundred dollars!!! […]
