A secret in Doom 2 has just been discovered that up until now was actually thought to be a bug in the game!  Apparently, the trick to getting this secret requires you to stand in the exact place necessary and let yourself get hit by an enemy to trigger the teleport sector.  Skip to the […]

Andrew Liszewski just posted his review of 8BitDo’s DIY kit.  Overall, it’s exactly as to be expected:  https://gizmodo.com/it-really-was-easy-to-make-my-old-snes-controller-wirel-1828523571 My only opinion on this is that I’d feel strange replacing the guts of my original SNES controller with this.  I’m sure most classic console lovers like myself would preserve the original board, should we ever decide […]

Furrtek has just opened a wait list for his Virtual Boy video-out board.  The kit will cost around $50 USD and supports both RGB and VGA modes:  http://furrtek.free.fr/virtualtap/ VGA Output will be a “2x” 800×600 mode that runs at 768×448 RGB Output will have a narrower aspect ratio to fit the Virtual Boy’s 384×224 resolution into a 320×240 […]

Bitmap Bureau has just posted an update to their upcoming game Xeno Crisis.  The game’s release will be delayed for an undetermined amount of time, however they announced the addition of a Neo Geo port, to be developed after the Genesis version is complete.  I believe that means the total platforms it’ll be available on […]

Some quick updates regarding the DCHDMI project from Dan and Christoff:  First, flex cables have been ordered and it looks like they’re still on-track to have it released before the end of the year!  Next, Christoff has finalized the firmware with all the on-screen display features discussed previously.  Also, I believe a new feature or […]
