Rees just posted an excellent video showing the compatibility of retro PC’s through the OSSC Pro. While the video was pretty laid back (in a good way!), it’s also critically important for people with computer’s from the 80’s and 90’s. This is especially true for PC’s that output odd refresh rates, as the original Open […]
I’m very excited to announce that RetroRGB.com now has an in-depth section covering “downscaling”: The conversion of HD resolutions down to 15KHz for use with CRT’s. This addition is care of Marco Retro, an excellent YouTuber who wrote pages for the site, as well as videos for each downscaler. Please make sure to subscribe to […]

While most people in the retro gaming world talk about “upscaling” from the low-resolution of classic consoles, to the native resolution of modern flat-panels, what if you wanted to do the opposite: Display high resolution content on classic CRT’s? Modern streaming boxes haven’t included analog video outputs for years and analog 15KHz video output has not […]

The price is about $65 plus shipping and while I […]
The Super Nintendo (and Super Famicom) had many motherboard revisions, each outputting different video quality. This video aims to clear up many misconceptions about when that quality difference matters, as well as showcase some mods to make ALL revisions output perfect RGB video! Here’s links to things I showed: SNES Info & Cables: https://www.retrorgb.com/snes.html SNES Transparent Shells: https://retrorgb.link/clearsnes […]
Hey all, Try from My Life in Gaming here! A while back, Voultar offered to install his in-development “SNES Edge-Enhancer” and “SNESRGB 2CHIP Bypass” mods for our analysis and review. After getting my Super Famicom back from him, I’ve spent the last month testing it like crazy, and my findings are in this video! For […]
Two stores have just opened pre-orders on a new batch of gcomp and gscart switches, due to ship in March. They’re not cheap at about $300 each, but this is definitely a “get what you pay for” scenario: 8-in, 2-out, auto switching, safe simultaneous output and a long track record of being solid and reliable […]

Sadly, no firmware or feature updates have been released, just more stock of the previous (but very good!) console. More info after the links: Purchase […]
