Download Rhea/Phoebe Sorter: https://github.com/DerekPascarella/Rhea-Phoebe-Sorter Back in 2015, hardware engineer Deunan released his Rhea and Phoebe ODEs (optical drive emulators) for the Sega Saturn. These two represent the first of their kind on Sega’s fifth-generation home gaming console and, interestingly enough, they remain the most stable options to this very day, with the least number […]
Yu Suzuki’s OutRun is an arcade classic that first took us for a spin in 1986. It’s known for its beautiful pixel landscapes, it’s high speed – and of course Hiroshi Kawaguchi’s famous soundtrack. Now, thanks to the dedication of homebrew designer EGVroom, a new prototype demake brings the classic title to an unexpected platform: […]
Stone Age Gamer is now selling a RetroOnyx bluetooth controller adapter for the Nintendo Virtual Boy. This is based off Darthcloud’s open source Blueretro platform, that offers some of the lowest bluetooth latency ever recorded when used with a fast controller. There are Boot and Reset buttons right on the adapter, which take the place of the original […]

In the original games category, racer Micro Motor Mayhem beat out tribute game Shenmue: Back in Yokosuka by four points while the […]
Retro Game Restore has just sent me production samples of their Super Nintendo / Super Famicom transparent controller shells. The quality is exactly what you’d expect from RGR and the colors seem to match the corresponding case colors perfectly. You’ll need to use the *buttons, membranes and screws from your original controller though and as […]
J&T Studio has just started selling braided controller cable replacements for Super Nintendo and Super Famicom controllers. These are aiming to be as high quality as their braided NES controller cables and come in two sizes: A shorter SFC length and longer SNES length. The prices are about $18-$20, but they’re on sale now for […]
Martin Hejnfelt’s homebrew 68x input cards for A-Series Sony BVM monitors are now back in stock and ready to ship. This is the basic BNC version that includes a 75 Ohm termination switch on-board: Flip them on to use just the inputs, or turn them off if you’d like to use the passthrough circuit to send […]
Pre-orders are now open for the VMUPro: A Dreamcast version of the Memcard Pro, in a standard Sega VMU form factor. It’s available in seven different colors, some solid and some transparent. The price is about $80 plus shipping and they’re due to ship in October. Check out the sale page for all the info […]
Previously on RetroRGB we reported on the imminent availability of Heber’s MiSTer MultiSystem 2 console. The follow-up to 2021’s highly regarded MiSTer MultiSystem, this new generation of MiSTer hardware takes a departure from other stack-based and even consolised implementations by offering a fully integrated solution, with the Cyclone FPGA chip mounted directly to the console’s […]
Consoles4U is now selling Cosam’s “Neptune” Genesis + 32x PCB, with all non-proprietary parts pre-populated. While this is still an expert-only kit, advanced users now just have to transplant the Sega-specific chips from original Genesis / Mega Drive and Neptune consoles, rather than solder all the basic off-the-shelf components as well. If you’d like more […]
