Wii Dual – HDMI & RGB Nintendo Wii!!!
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 […]
New Switch Model in 2019?
The Wall Street Journal just reported that Nintendo may release a new version of the Switch in 2019 to “maintain sales momentum”. My personal opinion is this is a great idea and it certainly worked for them with the variety of DS and 3DS consoles released. I just hope the focus isn’t only on the […]

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 […]
Sega Teradrive CPU Upgrade
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 An interesting project, since the Teradrive shipped with a processor that was already long-outdated.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 […]
OSSC Display Test Suite
There’s now a custom firmware for the OSSC that extends the functionality of the test patterns. There’s a bunch of excellent features, but the one that’s most intriguing to me are the refresh rate tests: “Many classic game consoles do not operate exactly at standard 59.94/60/50Hz refresh rate, especially if typical 50/60Hz modifications have been […]
