Joe from Game Sack just released an awesome video showcasing the upcoming RetroTINK 4K. I think this is a great video for people wanting some examples of scaling that was previously hard to do: PSP, GBi, letterboxed SNES, etc – Joe’s got tons of good examples that can give you a sense of what to […]
Here’s a review of a Vizio MQX, 50” TV. I concentrated on lag and retro-gamer-related features, but I think most gamers of all generations could use this video to get an idea if it’s a good fit for them or not. Also, I think one of the main takeaways from this video is 60Hz vs […]
NFC tags now provide a cool new way of running games on your MiSTer FPGA. Thanks to work done by Wizzo and Gareth Jones, you can connect an NFC reader and install a script to run game paths encoded onto an NFC card. Why would you want to do this? A good use case for […]
A member of the retro gaming community has been performing deep-dive analysis on some Digital To Analog HDMI converters that are commonly used in the MiSTer FPGA project. This is an excellent read for anyone looking for technical details as to why some adapters are better than others. While there doesn’t seem to be one […]

Bootleg retro games are often the target of derision and mockery on youtube, but that seems to happen only because no one is taking the time to showcase the games that are actually good. It’s because of that that St1ka (that’s me) created a video listing 20 Bootleg games that are actually good and have […]
Ironclad Plus MT32-Pi Hat Users of the Ironclad plus IO board now have another option for getting MT32 sound. A new updated internal MT32-Pi hat is availble for purchase. The previous one required forked cores to work and to use SNAC had to be physically removed. This one doesn’t have those limitations and will set […]
Mike Chi has just released a new beta firmware for the RetroTINK 5x, with some interesting features. The first is an exciting feature for PS2, 480i30 games: 2:2 pulldown (see example from Wobbling Pixels above). This allows for sharper deinterlacing without any artifacts, for any content that’s locked to 30fps. Next is an inverse telecine […]
A few RetroRGB readers had passed me a link to a manual component video switch from Aliexpress, claiming it worked without any issues. Turns out they were right – The switch is $20, accepts three inputs and (provided you’re using quality cables) the output is perfectly fine. While this isn’t even close to the same […]
