Unseen aka Ingo Korb has just released an update to the GCVideo firmware. Version 2.4d corrects the remaining “chroma shift” bug and can be downloaded here: https://github.com/ikorb/gcvideo/releases This fix should remove the need for people to use the “menu shift” trick described in a previous update. It’s my (Bob’s) personal opinion that if you don’t have […]
Professor Abrasive has just posted an update to the Satiator project: The design of the plastic shell is nearing completion and SLA samples have been received. There’s still some tweaks to be made, but it’s looking like all versions of the Satiator (including beta versions) will ship with some kind of plastic shell: Also, there’s […]
Loïc *WydD* Petit put the new Samurai Spirits PS4 demo to the test and found some frightening lag under the hood. 8 frames of input latency, or 134ms. That is extremely sloppy coding for such a legendary fighting IP. Samurai Spirits PS4 Demo input lag results. This is the worst lag I have ever measured. […]
It looks like the administrator of the Assembler Games forum has announced that it will be closing next month in June due to financial reasons.

The C64 edition of the game was available to purchase both as a physical disk, as well as a digital download. I hope they’ll offer the same with the NES version, as […]
Sony has just announced they’ll be releasing a remastered version of “Ghostbusters: The Video Game” in 2019. Sony claims the game itself will be updated with “enhanced textures and lighting” and I assume that means higher resolution rendering as well.

Loïc *WydD* Petit undertook the massive job of writing a complete PCB trace-out for the Capcom CPS-2 Arcade B-Boards (game boards). There were around 850 traces in total, and he has shared his work in a Google doc. Hopefully this will be archived and preserved for posterity. I considered this as my holiday puzzle. When […]
Irken Labs has released a successor to their JVS-PAC, which is basically a keyboard encoder for JVS IO boards, so you can use the direct JVS wiring standard on, say, a MAME PC without re-wiring anything.
