NESLCDMOD Zapper Updates
I’ve been holding off on an in-depth review of the LCDMOD Zapper patches, but I thought it was time for a quick status update: IPS Patches are now uploaded for Duck Hunt, Wild Gunman, Hogan’s Alley and Freedom Force: http://neslcdmod.com/roms/ I’ve had much better luck with the Tomee gun than either the original Zapper or other […]

Markus has just released official firmware version 0.82 for the Open Source Scan Converter.

gscartsw wall mount
The Real Phoenix just uploaded a free 3D print design for a gscartsw wall mount. This is slightly different than the free wall mount solution posted last year, as it looks like the mounts are bolted to the wall and the switch slides in. This is perfect for people that need more access to the […]
