Krikzz has just released a firmware update for the RGB Blaster that should help compatibility with some devices.  DO NOT UPDATE if your RGB Blaster is currently working well!!!  This update doesn’t add any new features and is only meant to help compatibility with devices like the RetroTINK 2x SCART and RAD2x.  Updating is as […]

Qwertymodo has just released the design files for a 3D printed case that fits around his RGBench:  A device designed to make connecting analog video signals to an oscilloscope much easier.  The RGBench has become an invaluable tool in my test setup and having a fully-enclosed case looks cool and protects the components inside from […]

I recently tested a 6-in, 2-out, automatic component video switch from Games Care, that uses 3.5mm jacks to accept signal inputs.  This requires the use of cheap adapters, however it also allows for a much smaller switch.  It performed great and allows for safe simultaneous outputs.  Check the full review below the links for details, […]

We talk a lot about “scanlines” here, but a lot of memorable arcade games of the 1970’s and early 1980’s like Asteroids, Battlezone, Star Wars, and Tempest didn’t have scanlines at all: they were vector games, where the crisp sharp lines drawn by the electron beam formed the picture directly. But only one game console […]
