Several new Mega SD firmwares have been released recently that add new features, improve the user experience, and fix bugs.

Eon’s Super 64 was recently announced and today, all early-access reviews are in. It’s confirmed to not add any lag to the video output and performs pretty much identically to a RetroTINK2x & S-Video cable. And is priced the same. But it only works on the N64. Read my full review here: https://www.retrorgb.com/eonsuper64.html Opinion: While my review […]
I got the idea to do this particular back panel when I saw some posts from Voultar. I picked of some of the readily available 8 Pin Mini Dins that are meant to be PCB mounted and decided to look for a solution to mounting them. I sent a working unit off to Voultar to […]
Over on the SegaXtreme forums a member by the name TrekkiesUnite118 has started a thread about using the English translation from the Playstation version of Grandia to localize the Japanese Saturn version. https://segaxtreme.net/threads/translating-grandia.24330/ In its day Grandia was an incredible technical achievement and remains one of my favorite games of all time.

I recently saw a video showcasing a “VR NES Emulator” called 3dSenVR. I was really intrigued, as it offered a completely different way to experience these classic 8-Bit games. My experience with VR has been mixed, but I’d really love to give this a try someday! 3dSenVR is available on the Stem store for $20: https://store.steampowered.com/app/954280/3dSenVR/
Every tech blog on the planet seems to be covering the latest Switch news, so I thought I’d present it here as a quick-reference list: Nintendo announced a $200 “Switch Lite” that is handheld-only, with no HDMI output. I gotta agree with the internet on this one: It’s weird to think of a “Switch that […]
Developer Sik recently proposed an interesting idea: Why not make a USB adapter that allows a modern computer mouse to be used in place of the Sega Mouse for the Genesis / Mega Drive. Sik wanted to take it one step further and also include the correct information so the wheel on modern mice can […]

There’s now an eBay seller listing a sub-$40 do-it-yourself MVS “supergun” kits for any Neo Geo MVS board that uses the JAMMA standard (I believe mostly MV1B & MV1C). The creator previously sold some high quality MiSTer boards and has recently moved on to other projects, including this one. While I haven’t had a chance […]
