I recently tested the Octopus Fight Stick, along with the Brawler64 and D6 from Retro Fighters…and before that, I’d tested 8Bitdo’s wireless Neo Geo CD style controller. While I have the ability to test lag and detect major flaws, I’m not a pro gamer and can’t push these to their limits. So, I sent them […]
Here’s an interview with Peter B, someone working in professional analog video preservation, as well as audio engineering. After watching his video on FFV1, I reached out and hoped he’d discuss his hands-on experience and add some perspective for those of us archiving VHS and other analog media. I really enjoyed the conversation and think […]
Here’s an interview with developer Reinhard, aka C0pperdragon. He’s the inventor of Lumacode, a way to get excellent quality video from 8-bit and earlier consoles / computers. These mods are generally easier than most other video mods and almost always allow for #nocutmods. I think Lumacode is going to have an exciting future for consoles […]

I just had the pleasure of doing an audio-only podcast with Nick from PandaMonium Reviews, to discuss his latest epic documentary about Sega Rally. We discussed what goes into making a four hour, forty minute production, as well as how he gets his game footage and some other fun moments about the documentary, game and […]
Here’s a podcast-style discussion about archiving 480i and interlaced video issues. Ever wonder how some 480i games could be 60fps…even if 480i runs at 29.97? Or how come camcorder footage isn’t actually 30p? And how do you even capture interlaced video!?!?!? Dan’s expertise in the field really added a good perspective to these topics and […]
Here’s an interview / discussion with Kuro Houou – A dev who’s been doing excellent analysis work on Digital to Analog converters, or “DAC’s”. We go over the basics of what common issues are, as well as details about how to test yourself and why we put so much effort into making sure people are […]
