There’s a new product from Axunworks that allows JAMMA-based arcade machines to break out the audio and video signals for streaming. There’s actually been quite a few products like this released in the past few years (and at least one more to come in 2021), but as usual, Axun put his own spin on the […]
Now that people have been receiving their Warrior 64 complete units, we’re starting to see pictures posted of both the boards and the methods they’re using to install.

I strongly recommend checking out the individual reviews linked below, as each one offers a unique […]
Arcade1Up has just announced their new product lineup planned for 2021. Interestingly enough, they claim all products are all still in development and their team plans on taking feedback from the community before finalizing the designs. First up are re-releases of existing Arcade1Up cabs that they’re calling the “legacy collection”; Basically their best selling cabs […]
Chipnetics Computing has just launched a kickstarter for multiple versions of a GBS-Control solution, one of which includes an auto-switch. The products look cool, but I have quite a few reservations about it. Let’s take a look… The first version of the product they’re selling is something called the “Slipgate”, which is $135 and appears […]
I reported recently about Megavolt85’s native 1:1 Atomiswave-to-Dreamcast ports, and I posted a video on the topic. Since then, more Atomiswave arcade games have been ported over. RetroRGB/Bob maintains a list of the ports here. As I explained in my video though, “port” might not be the correct word; the Atomiswave is a Dreamcast and […]

Mike Chi has just released a new firmware for the RetroTINK 2x Mini, that allows you to disable the scaler and pass through the composite and S-Video signals to the HDMI output. This essentially turns the TINK Mini into an analog to digital converter, with a comb filter built-in. In order to activate this feature, […]
On December 31st, 2020, HIdden Palace streamed on Twitch an unreleased prototype of the original Sonic the Hedgehog from before the game was set to release. It has a bunch of differences in both level design and graphics, most notable being some of the backgrounds in zones like Marble Zone (shown on the left), and […]
