There’s been a ton of work already completed, such as fully reverse-engineered schematics, a replacement memory chip to allow more games to be stored and even X-Ray’s of the PCB!

I recently had the pleasure of being a guest on Lon Seidman’s YouTube channel, Lon.tv. After recording our part for his video, we decided to continue recording a podcast / interview for the RetroRGB channel. Since we were already connected to Lon’s setup, we just used that audio & video, which is why the whole […]
Hey everyone, it’s Try from My Life in Gaming. We just released our episode on the Nt mini Noir, which as I’m sure you know by now, is completely redesigned in how it works, adding crucial features like interpolation.

Romhacker Vitor Vilela has just released an updated rom patch for Super Mario World. Vitor’s patches use the SA-1 enhancement chip to allow higher performance than the original Super Nintendo could have provided.

After years of waiting, the spine-tingling debacle that was Paprium may finally be over. Unfortunately, that does not mean that we’re off the Watermelon Co. roller coaster ride. It simply means that the paying customers as well as the “investors” on the Paprium project may finally receive a product of some kind for their contributions. […]
Retro Game Restore just opened pre-orders for the second iteration of their GPiMate series, the GPiMate Plus. The GPiMate‘s main purpose is to serve as an upgrade/replacement to RetroFlag’s GPi Case (a Raspberry Pi based handheld system) custom interface board. The DMG looking GPi originally could only fit a small cartridge containing a Raspberry Pi […]
