I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Paul and Drew, developers behind the “MK+” arcade hacks. Calling them “hacks” feels like a massive understatement though – These are more like re-writes of the games, that add characters, extra features and SO MANY options. And they work in emulation and on real hardware too! If you’re […]
R-Type Core Developments Core developer wickerwaka has gotten R-Type running on the MiSTer FPGA. It’s still needs a lot of work, and it is unsure what will come out of this core. But even if this R-Type core is never released, Atrac17 and Darren__O are working on a core for the Irem M72 hardware which […]
The Behar Bros have just announced an adapter for the original Xbox that can simultaneously output HDMI and component video, as well as analog and digital audio (both via HDMI and SPDIF). All Xbox resolutions are supported and since there isn’t a scaler built in, there should be no chance of lag. Pre-orders are open […]
Retro-Bit Gaming has just released an odd line of Genesis-style controllers: A six-button controller, in the shape of an original Genesis 3-button controller. They have wired versions for both USB and original consoles, as well as a wireless version. Based on lag testing of their previous controller designs, the wireless will have over a frame […]

It allows you to bypass the Gamecube’s bios and boot directly into any homebrew application, such as Swiss, upon powering the console on. HERE IT […]
Back in April we reported on the announcement of the MK8330, a new ISA sound card from the makers of the Orpheus aimed squarely at a more budget market. The card is based around the CMI8330 chip, a popular choice for onboard audio in the mid-late 90s, and boasts high compatibility – with support for […]

Video Game Perfection has just started selling the dexx add-on board for the DE-10 Nano. This essentially turns the same dev kit that powers the MiSTer FPGA project into an “OSSC Pro Lite”. The price should come in under $100 without a remote, however it’s fully compatible with the original OSSC’s remote. For more information, […]
The “Enhanced Edition” of the awesome Blade Runner adventure game from Westwood Studios was just released on steam as well as on consoles. Unfortunately, it’s a mess. As with so many of the recent re-issues of beloved classics, it appears to be little more than a cynical cash grab. The graphics and all-important mood of […]
