Posted by in News

Krikzz, the developer of the Everdrive series of flash carts, has released a re-programmable flash cart for the Seag Genesis / Mega Drive. This re-programmable flash cart allows homebrew developers, fan translators and reproduction developers a simple way to flash a Genesis ROM to the cart and play on a real console, without any possible inaccuracies and OS menu navigation associated with a multi-ROM flash cart solution. The FlashKit Programmer, which is used to transfer the ROMs to and from a cart, connects to a computer using a standard USB…read more


Neo Geo MVS HDMI Mod

Posted by in News

A developer programmed an FPGA that is able to pull the audio and video digital signals from a Neo Geo MVS console (before it goes to the digital to analog converter) and convert those signals to HDMI. This process only adds a 100 microsecond delay, which equates to only about 1 frame of video – essentially not noticeable. The process they went through is an interesting one and I recommend reading it if you’re interested in the inner workings of a Neo Geo.   Unfortunately, this mod doesn’t come as a kit, but…read more

Famicom Disk System Drive Emulator

Posted by in News

I’ve you’ve ever used or heard about the Famicom Disk System add-on for the Nintendo Famicom (the Japanese version of the NES) then you’ve probably heard of the hardware problems that can come with it. Since it is a floppy drive, it has moving parts inside, one of which is a rubber belt which is prone to wearing out and breaking. Additionally, the disks themselves as with any floppy disk will eventually wear out as well. Now there is a Disk System emulator device available which attaches to the memory…read more

1080p HDMI NES Mod Kit

According to the videos it is going into production and will initially be available through other console modding services, such as GameTechUS. Here is the latest update video from GameTechUS and…read more

If you’ve experienced RGB video quality on retro video game consoles, you know what an amazing difference it makes over composite or RF video. The problem is that it wasn’t always an available option on many older consoles including the NES, but a developer by the name of Tim Worthington fixed that by creating the NESRGB, an add-on kit for the NES that allowed for RGB video output. Now, Tim has released his new kit for the Atari 2600, called the 2600RGB. Here are some photos of what the 2600RGB produces (from Tim’s website):…read more
