Back in August, I had the opportunity to speak with developer Coin Feeder about his upcoming “tate” shoot-em-up (shmup) game for the Neo-Geo named Project Neon. In addition to describing what the game would entail, at the time, he shared with me that he planned to launch a crowdfunding campaign in order to get his […]
Kevin Mellott has just opened pre-orders for a single-flash cart for the Virtual Boy, called the HyperFlash32: http://www.mellottsvrpage.com/index.php/hyperflash32/ Kevin’s previously announced MultiBoy32 – a device closer to a true ROM cart, has been delayed for a number of reasons, one of which is the lack of Virtual Boy cartridge connectors available. Since the only other […]

The Japanese Dreamcast game Napple Tale: Arsia in Daydream has just been translated to English: http://www.romhacking.net/translations/5091/ Napple Tale is a 2.5d “action adventure” game, that today seems crazy it wouldn’t be released outside of Japan. I guess back in 2000 when it was released, the mainstream market was shifting more towards 3D role-playing games and the developers […]

A Brazilian company named GamesCare has just announced an 8×2 SCART switch for R$ 689.00 (about $170). In my opinion, the price point sits nicely between the $220 (fully featured) gscartsw and $60 (basic) Otaku switch, offering a good option for people. I’m not sure if they have plans to sell a cheaper 4×1 version, […]

Originally, due to the limitation of the on-board VIC-II chip, the C64 could output RF through RCA, Composite and out-of-spec S-video through an 8-pin Din connector. Now with […]
Mobius Strip Tech is now selling both Furrtek’s Virtual Tap video out kits and a servo emulator chip: https://mobiusstriptechnologies.com/product/virtual-tap/ https://mobiusstriptechnologies.com/product/servo-emu/ The servo emulator is an interesting device, as it “fools” the Virtual Boy to thinking there’s still mirrors and motors inside it. This is perfect for VB’s that are badly broken – I have one […]
