Nicholas Piegdon who goes by the name Falonn at AtariAge has just completed development on a new RGB Mod for the ColecoVision (and technically anything that uses the TMS992xA chip to generate video). The new mod is designed to address all of the outstanding issues with existing RGB mods. Most notably incorrect color generation, and […]
CastleMania Games is now selling qwertymodo’s ‘RGBench’: A device designed to make it easy to connect component video, SCART and VGA, directly into an oscilloscope, without constantly changing cables: https://retrorgb.link/rgbench I’ve personally tested this device and have found it to work very well for testing video voltages. It’s switchable 75ohm termination means it’ll work well both […]
There are many scenarios in the retro gaming world that you might need to use “VGA”, or RGBHV on a device that only accepts RGBs. I think the most common scenario might be people connecting 640×480 VGA to a 480p compatible RGB monitor, but there’s quite a few others, depending on your setup. Sadly, it’s […]

Lately, I’ve been hearing more people talk about replacing a console’s internal power supply. Sometime’s it’s as simple as the original died and people have the skills to replace the power board, but not to recap and repair it, making a new design a convenient option. Other times, it’s because people are looking for wordwide […]
Displaced Gamers recently posted an excellent video that explains chroma – Or, essentially how colors are created with analog video signals. The video starts out by breaking down analog video formats and demonstrating how the signals are generated. I love the examples they used of oscilloscope captures shown over 100% color bars!

A bundle version with @HDRetroVision Wii […]
About once a month, I’ll send a message to Ste asking him: “Hey, if I plug your cables into this new device, will the voltage be okay? I measured on the scope at X volts.” …and every time, he’d respond saying he “doesn’t have enough information to answer that”, throwing adult words at me like […]
