After a successful first run of production, Todd from Retrofrog has tweaked his PCE to Turbo Grafx-16 controller adapter design. While functionality is the same, v2 mounts vertically and is nearly 50% smaller than the original design; It’s even small enough to fit multiple next to each other in a Turbo Tap!

Developer Stanislav Parhomovich has just created a “hybrid emulation” HDMI mod for the model 1 Sega Genesis / Mega Drive. This internal kit taps directly into the console’s VDP and generates a fully digital, 1080p HDMI video signal. This is NOT simply an analog to digital upscaler mounted internally – The ‘Megaswitch HD’ works similar to […]

I think this is a great video for people wanting some examples of scaling that was previously hard to do: PSP, GBi, letterboxed SNES, etc – Joe’s got tons of good examples that can give you a sense of what to […]
Here’s a review of a Vizio MQX, 50” TV. I concentrated on lag and retro-gamer-related features, but I think most gamers of all generations could use this video to get an idea if it’s a good fit for them or not. Also, I think one of the main takeaways from this video is 60Hz vs […]
NFC tags now provide a cool new way of running games on your MiSTer FPGA. Thanks to work done by Wizzo and Gareth Jones, you can connect an NFC reader and install a script to run game paths encoded onto an NFC card. Why would you want to do this? A good use case for […]
