Modern Vintage Gamer just posted an awesome overview of the IGS PolyGame Master (PGM). He covers the hardware similarities to the Neo Geo, as well as some of the most unique games on the platform. If you’d like more info on the PGM, also consider checking out Scarlet Sprites‘ video at the bottom of the […]
I just received version 2 of Krikzz’ ZERO lag RGB Blaster and it works great! Sync is properly output to both the csync and *cvbs pins, plus the addition of a THS7374 allowed for proper video output to both RGB SCART and HD Retrovision cables. Basically, Revision 2 corrects all of the issues found with the original, […]
RF Adapter by MiSTerAddons MiSTerAddons’ video’s that reveal a custom composite video to RF adapter for MiSTerFPGA, which should please CRT owners with only RF connections.

Shank just posted a video showing how to integrate LED ambient lighting into a portable Wii with a transparent case. I’ve always felt that (when done right!), ambient light can really add to your overall experience, but I never considered how it would work in a portable. Spoiler: It came out awesome.

The NES needs a clock in order to function. Both the CPU and PPU use clock cycles to perform their duties. These chips run at different speeds, but each speed is derived from the same source – a 21.47727 MHz crystal on the NES motherboard. How do these components work in tandem? This video dives […]

I recently had a conversation with Hans Baier, a developer who’s created a framework that allows the MiSTer FPGA project to be ported to different hardware platforms. Hans is approaching this in a way that will NOT fork or fracture MiSTer, but instead embrace it’s current software. This work has the potential to increase both the […]
WebHDX, the creator of PicoBoot, is currently working on a new device that will allow you to connect a M.2 form-factor SATA SSD (not to be confused with an NVMe) to a Nintendo Gamecube’s Serial Port 1 (SP1). This device will essentially function the same as a SD2SP2 or SD Gecko device in that it […]
