Taijigamer2 is continuing his research into the 3DO console and may have found an alternative to the 240p/480i switch mod for consoles with the BT9103 chip that doesn’t require lifting any pins: “The service manual shows that PAL 3DO have a resistor bridging the Interlace signal between CLIO and BT9103. By removing that resistor and soldering […]
iFixRetro showed off what is probably the world’s first RGB-LCD modded PC Engine GT (AKA Turbo Express). This finally brings a McWill-like solution to the handheld, and the results are stunning. The mod was done using the hard-to-source LCDDRV, which is only available in Japan at the moment. It pulls RGB directly from the GT’s […]
Christian coded an online tool that can be used to update old SD2SNES themes (menu.bin files) to the latest firmware. This is a huge time-saver for menu makers like myself, since this had to be done by hand previously. Themes made on an old firmware needed to be rebuilt from scratch with each new SD2SNES […]

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 […]
One of the first pages I wrote for this site was a request for developers to design a replacement for the Sega Master System 3D glasses adapter that can be installed into a Genesis or SMS2: http://retrorgb.com/genesis3d.html Well, six years later, someone on the circuitboard.de forums seems to have done it!: https://circuit-board.de/forum/index.php/Thread/26728-TUT-3D-Support-f%C3%BCr-das-Sega-Master-System-II/ At the moment, the installation […]
