I recently tested two products from HDFury: The ‘Vertex2’ and the ‘Diva’. These are pro-level HDMI devices that are complicated to use, but provide an amazing amount of control over the signal. Each device offers 4-in, 2-out HDMI matrix switching capabilities, full control over EDID and up/downscaling between 4K and 1080p. These products are for […]
Ikari recently released an “official beta” firmware for the FXPak / SD2SNES that integrates all the really awesome additions that community developers have added over the past few years. This includes Super Game Boy support, savestates and quite a lot more! While it’s still in beta, the firmware seems very stable, so I suggest everyone […]

Vitor Vilela has officially released the latest edition of the Super Mario World widescreen patches, supporting 16:9/16:10/2:1/18:9/18.5:9 aspect ratios.

Another cool bonus is an option for “pixel stretching”, which […]

Mike Chi has just released a new firmware update for the RetroTINK 5x, that includes “LCD style” scanlines, tweaked automatic phase detection…and something previously thought to be impossible: Certain modes with 240p processing, that matches the 4:4:4 colorspace output that the OSSC provides! That’s right, in some scenarios, the output will now equal the OSSC’s! […]
Retro Game Restore has just opened pre-orders on smoke clear shells for the model 1 Genesis / Mega Drive. The first 200 units sold will be at a 15% discount, to help “kickstart” the sales process and crowdfund what it takes to get started. I purchased one and the total price came to about $120 […]
Arcooda recently tweeted about launching new arcade monitors earlier this week. While the information known is scarce, it states to be a brand new 20″ 4:3 LCD Monitor capable of 15KHz / 31KHz. Mentioned in the product placement holder; the monitor has two input sources (VGA and HDMI). Not only does it state support for […]
Here’s an interview with the creator of the 129x and 68x “homebrew” input cards for Sony BVM/PVM monitors. Anyone who’s into retro CRT monitors has probably heard Martin’s name quite a few times over the past few years and it was an absolute pleasure to interview him. As usual, it’s a very laid back conversation […]
