Redguy, the developer working on SD2SNES SA-1 chip support has posted an update on his progress. At the moment, it looks like it will probably be doable, however SA-1 + MSU-1 is still up in the air, as there might not be enough room to fit both chips in the FPGA. When asked about the […]
A Github project has been started to reverse engineer Hyperkin’s Retron 77. This is for the purpose of jailbreaking, so different versions of Stella can be used, as well as potential compatibility fixes: https://github.com/stella-emu/stella/wiki/Retron-77 …and speaking of compatibility, users are already maintaining a list of compatible games on Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lzJdxHuRL9I-EdJ0f1abb2a9Gv46qLj-gmAj-PSBbN0/edit#gid=0 #retron77, #hyperkin, […]

A discussion in the shmups forum brought up a great question: Since RGsB (sync-on-green) will be supported in the next version of the gscartsw-lite, how about component video (YPbPr) via a passthrough dongle? According to superg, it should be possible! For most users, this might not be a big deal, but for anyone who wants […]
RGB32E just showed off another one of his breakout adapters, this time for the SNES! There are just so many uses for this thing and I hope he plans on selling at least a few! BOM and gerbers will be available on OSHPark soon: My #SNES AV Breakout adapter. Equivalent to my #AtariJaguar AV Breakout. […]
