Retro Gaming Cables has opened pre-orders on a 6-1 manual pushbutton SCART switch. The switch was designed to be the perfect fit to a RetroTINK 5x, but it will work with anything that fits against the connector. The price is about $65 plus shipping and it performs really well. Also, since it’s passive, there’s no […]
I just did a live review of Arcooda’s 16:9, 32″ LCD arcade monitor and really liked it – When put into context of it’s intended use case. If you’re just looking for a cheap, low-latency LCD panel, grab what you can from Amazon, Best Buy, etc. This was designed for use in Arcooda’s “Viewlix-style” modern […]

One question I get all the time is how to downscale from modern HDTV signals to 480i. Downscalers like the GBS-Control and RetroTINK 5x downscale 480p (or 720p) to 240p, which is the look most of us are going for. There are some use-cases for wanting to downscale to 480i though, so check out more info […]
Markus, the creator of the Open Source Scan Converter, cpsdigi_av and upcoming OSSC Pro joined me on a livestream to demo his latest product: The DExx-vd_isl. This device essentially turns the DE-10 Nano – the same exact dev board used with the MiSTer FPGA project – into an “OSSC Pro Lite”; Much of the code […]
Recently Krikzz posted a new “core” for the Everdrive 64 X5 and X7 rom carts that replaces the Neon emulator for NES emulation on the Nintendo 64. This update uses the FPGA in the newer Everdrive 64 carts with the goal of getting a more cycle accurate experience than what the Neon emulator could provide. […]
Yesterday, I posted my review of the 4K Gamer Pro. My goal was simple: Cover all the topics that most reviewers skip over. I was able to prove that this is a lag-free device that doesn’t drop frames or ruin the colors. I also showed it working with the MiSTer and RetroTINK 5x, since at […]
Hey, Try from My Life in Gaming here again. We just released an episode focused on me attempting to upgrade from a visibly aging 2017 LG C7 OLED to a brand-new 2022 LG C2 OLED… and I’ll just go ahead and spoil the twist: I returned it for a 2021 C1 instead. Why? Well, the […]
