Here’s an interview with Simon and Chad of the Domesday Duplicator / LD Decode projects – A combined hardware and software effort to achieve bit-perfect rips of laser discs! In my opinion, this project is extremely important, as aging laserdiscs have a finite lifespan and will soon be lost forever if not preserved. An audio-only […]
Nintendo has just filed an application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for what appears to be a cellphone case that turns your phone into a GameBoy. It doesn’t seem like something Nintendo would normally do, for many reasons, the biggest of which to me is that it would be impossible to make a […]
Saint from RetroHQ has just posted a video update on the Jaguar GD project. Let’s hope it’s nearing release!
I just posted a detailed review of Dan Kunz’ Wii Dual kit – A ZERO LAG internal mod that ads an HDMI output, as well as RGB output to the Nintendo Wii. This is not a ‘converter’, it’s a true digital-to-digital upgrade using Unseen’s GCVideo solution that provides the best possible signal from a Wii. Kits […]
The Wall Street Journal just reported that Nintendo may release a new version of the Switch in 2019 to “maintain sales momentum”.

BANDAI NAMCO has just brought it’s VR ZONE to Union Station in Washington, DC. It’s showcasing the games Argyle Shift, Ski Rodeo and of course Mario Kart VR.

The team at HD Retrovision has just posted a status update, bringing everyone up to speed on what they were working on during their vacation ‘development break’. It looks like more cables are currently being manufactured and when they arrive, they will continue to sell through resellers for the foreseeable future, including Amazon! Read the […]
Mike Chi has demo’d a project that would allow one RGB cable to work on all revision Super Nintendo & Super Famicom consoles. Currently, PAL consoles and NTSC consoles require completely different components in the cable and aren’t compatible with each other at all. This design will automatically adapt to either type of signal and […]
Someone recently used a CPU upgrade board to replace the processor in a Sega Teradrive with a “faster” 486 CPU. An interesting project, since the Teradrive shipped with a processor that was already long-outdated. The Sega Teradrive was a computer sold in Japan in 1991 that had a built-in Sega Genesis. Unfortunately, much like other […]
