My absolute favourite off the shelf case for the MiSTer is the passively cooled model by MiSTer Addons. I ordered myself one as a Christmas present and before a new VAT law came into effect which at the time of writing is really making it awkward to purchase items from […]
I recently started playing around with the OG Xbox, and wanted to use it via the OSSC on my HD TV, I found my old RGB Scart cable, I thought it was lost forever so I end up ordering a replacement from RGC – oh well, at least I have […]
I recently installed my xStation, a really simple install for the Sony PlayStation thanks to the already excellent official install guides. I thought I’d map the pinout out where each of the solder points on the Quick Solder Boards were connected so that I could do a continuity test after […]
I’ve recently been working up to being able to install a DCDigital (formerly DCHDMI) mod to my Dreamcast. I’m not going to do a full guide on it, but I did make some notes as I watched a couple of videos (the official one and the live stream from iFixRetro) […]
It’s been a long long time since I mod chipped an OG Xbox, in fact – it wasn’t called OG or Original, it was just called Xbox! A little while back I received a box of goodies from Retro Gamer Stuff, including their Aladdin chip flashed with XBlast OS 0.56 […]
Having dipped my toe back into vintage gaming again, I decided to pickup some CRT TVs. I’d seen some people playing with Bang & Olufsen MX series, mainly the MX4000 and MX7000. I wanted to try a 28″ screen and a B&O popped up on eBay so I thought I’d […]
Hey, look the site has a new layout! I’ve not been involved in the ‘retro’ scene for a long time now, during that time my site has been static and I’ve contemplated shutting it down on more than on occasion. Now I’ve decided to try and compromise and do some […]
I first discovered the amazing MiSTer project via posts by SmokeMonster on RetroRGB and my curiosity got the better of me – I had to have one to play around with. Racketboy has written an excellent overview and introduction to MiSTer – I recommend you read that to help you […]
Just a quick bit of info on installing Bad_Ad84’s SuperCIC/uIGR kit on the regular sized (phat) 1chip SNES model. The photos on this page are from a Japanese Super Famicom which of course is NTSC. As a habit I always switch on a SNES after I’ve removed the power lead […]
Here’s a little bit of info on replacing the internal rechargeable battery on the Sega Dreamcast. eBay/Aliexpress/Amazon have plenty of people selling vertical holders for CR2032 batteries. Of course, we can also rely on Bad_Ad84 for them also! These holders are a direct fit in the Dreamcast. Just be sure […]
