I was lucky enough to be part of a panel at Retro World Expo with Lon from Lon.tv, where we gave an introduction to FPGA’s and helped spread the word about all the wonderful achievements going on in the scene. I was both surprised and impressed at how many people attended the panel with little […]
There’s already an overwhelming amount of reviews floating around for the new Sega Genesis Mini emulation console, so rather than follow the herd, I thought I’d concentrate on one aspect of the experience that not many others have covered: Lag. I go through both audio lag, as well as overall emulation lag compared to an […]
Castlemania Games has just opened pre-orders on the upcoming Retro-Bit wireless Sega Genesis and Sega Saturn bluetooth and RF wireless controllers. By far the most exciting ones (IMO) are the RF Saturn controllers, as they’re the first commercially available modern wireless controllers that are compatible with original consoles!: Sega Saturn 2.4GHz RF Wireless Controller – […]

I’ve received many questions over the years about SD-based devices and their supposed “32GB limit”. I’ve included instructions as part of many guides on this site, but I felt it’s time to dedicate a separate page to this issue and it’s easy solution: https://www.retrorgb.com/sdformat.html Normally I wouldn’t post a site update as “news”, but SD formatting […]

Xilinx revealed their new high-end FPGA, the Virtex VU19P, which will be the largest FPGA ever created. It comes from their line of 16nm UltraScale+ FPGAs and contains 35 billion transistors. It boasts the highest logic density and the input/output count (2,072) of any single device ever made, and is 1.6X larger than the Virtex […]
EDIT: Post revised on 08/23 & 8/25. An eBay seller recently listed a MiSTer RAM module and many people felt the title and description was misleading. First, the seller listed a 32MB (256MBIT) RAM module as “256mb”. While technically, that’s the truth (and depending what field of work you’re in, you might call it the […]

Terraonion just announced that their upcoming Mega SD romcart/FPGA device will support (through a future firmware update) the Genesis/Mega Drive version of Virtua Racing. Throughout the years, running Virtua Racing on clone systems, some emulators and FPGA cores often seemed to be problematic to say the least, as support for Sega’s SVP DSP couldn’t be […]
