Dennis van den Broek aka Pointer Function has just released the design files for a Turbo Express / PC Engine GT replacement shell.

Tito from Macho Nacho Productions just posted a video showcasing some awesome products for the front-loading Nintendo Entertainment System. This full restoration requires almost nothing from the original NES: Just the CPU, PPU and some buttons.

Tito from Macho Nacho Productions recently built a homebrew version of the Sega Neptune, using all brand new parts, other than the proprietary Sega chips.

Back in 1993, Pioneer released what would be one of the oddest and most opulent gaming machines ever created, the LaserActive. Calling it a “gaming machine” is actually a bit misleading since gaming was just one of the many things it was capable of. At its core, the LaserActive is a LaserDisc player (you know, […]
Stone Age Gamer is now selling a high quality, universal replacement power supply for the Sega Dreamcast called the ThunderDream. This is a drop-in replacement made by Thundertronics and should work on all region and model Dreamcast units: Simply replace the original with this one and you’re good to go. It’s not cheap at $95, […]
I recently released a video showcasing a detailed restoration of a pretty uncommon console, the NEC SuperGRAFX. There were only 75,000 of these produced and the console only had five unique titles developed for it, although it is fully backwards compatible with the entire PC Engine library. In the video I did a full recap […]
Zaxour recently released his latest creation, the TurboNanza. This is a great mod that adds many great video output options to the TurboGrafx 16 which only outputs RF from the factory unless you have the official TurboBooster accessory from NEC or an aftermarket adaptor.
