In May 2017 I picked up a lovely Sony PVM1944Q in Montreal. This was my first exposure to PVM monitors. When I first plugged it in I knew immediately that the quality was amazing but there was something not quite right with my monitor. Seemed like the colours did not line up correctly on the […]
For years, I’ve been looking for the perfect budget arcade power supply to recommend to people–something with high-quality components that won’t break the bank. You used to be able to recommend products by brands like Happ that fit the bill, but after looking inside their latest offerings, you’ll probably want to reconsider. Apparently every single […]
Welcome to the first RetroRGB Writers Podcast!; Just a laid back discussion between writers about our thoughts on any stories we’ve written, or just thoughts on gaming-related stuff.

I’ll be hosting a panel Saturday the 7th at 6:15PM titled “Getting The Best Out Of Your Classic Consoles At Any Price Point.” The title’s pretty much self-explanatory and I’ll be […]
Insurrection Industries just revealed a few more details about their highly anticipated Carby Component GameCube cable on their Twitter account. First, every ordered cable will include 3 x 75 Ohm BNC to RCA adapters; those are custom made specifically for the Carby Component, lowering any chance of noise or interference and insuring the best performance […]
Arthrimus recently announced, through an Arcade-Projects thread, his latest on-going project, the Console Jammaizer. Acquiring (and maintaining) arcade boards nowadays is by no means a walk in the park, so for years cabinet owners have opted for different solutions to take full advantage of their setups like: GroovyMame via ArcadeVGA, Raspberry Pi via Jamma adapters, […]
Blunt opinion (Bob’s, not the RetroRGB team): Based on how it’s marketed, it’s hard to take the original mCable seriously. It, in fact, performs exactly as advertised and the gaming edition doesn’t add any lag that could possible effect gameplay (video proof below). By Marseille Inc themselves’ own information, people should realize it’s a cable that doesn’t […]

I had the opportunity to video chat with him, and during our conversation he demonstrated a very early version of this new game running […]
