Firebrandx has just posted an interesting discovery on his Patreon page and I wanted to post his findings here (with his permission): https://www.patreon.com/posts/ssds3-ditch-your-30815328 In most ODE’s (Optical Drive Emulators) and ROM Carts, it’s common to hear a “buzzing” sound when the SD card is being accessed. It’s most often noticed when there’s silence in the […]
I recently stumbled across Collapseos – an operating system designed to run on Z80 hardware, such as the Sega Master System and Genesis. Throughout life, I’ve seen restrictions* force some amazing innovations (think: that scene in Apollo 13!) and this is an excellent example of that: Developers working under the confines of Z80 hardware to make […]
Dan from Video Games New York was nice enough to let me borrow a few Game Boy Advance consoles, so I can compare the new IPS screen to the original AGS-101 backlit screen. Unfortunately, I don’t have a marco lens, so the footage isn’t nearly as good as I hoped it would be – There’s […]
Last week, Analogue teased an upcoming product release, with the colors of the post made up of the GameBoy DMG color palette.

Today, developer Byuu released an alpha build of my favorite SNES emulator bsnes, that includes a latency-reducing “runahead mode“: https://cirrus-ci.com/github/byuu/bsnes/master I realize it’s still an alpha build, but I really wanted to see what the performance was like, so I broke out the high-speed camera and ran some lag tests! Please keep in mind that […]
Jenovi just posted another great Cancelled/Unreleased video, this time focusing on the Atari Jaguar. This episode brings to light a lot of the inner-workings of Atari during that time, which helps to explain why some of these games never saw the light of day. No spoilers, but as always, these are highly recommended for anyone […]
