This software allows people to compare two versions of a console’s audio output, while removing all subjective opinions and providing a real, measurable metric. The Sega Genesis version of the software has been used […]
Fifty pages of complete engineering schematics for the Atari 7800 and its associated ICs have been released by Curt Vendel, the historian behind the Atari Museum History Project.
