The RGB-Pi team just released a new DYI kit/hat for the Raspberry Pi named the RGB-Pi Plus. Unlike the team’s previous efforts, the RGB-Pi cable and the Jamma RGB-Pi, the RGB-Pi Plus isn’t a simple plug-and-play solution for Raspberry Pi gaming.

Redacted173 has revealed themselves as the author of the new SD2SNES Super Game Boy 2 support (although with a name like redacted we still don’t really know who they are), and has open-sourced its code on GitHub along with an update. I have compiled a care package with all of the necessary files here. FURiOUS, […]
Jacob Proctor has just uploaded an open source design for an easy breakout board designed to fit in VGA connectors. It’s possible to solder the RGBHV & Ground wires without this board, but I’ve always found soldering directly to the pins to be a pain. This is an interesting design, as instead of one board […]
