The large, cinderblock room was aglow with florescent fixtures, bouncing light off its painted walls. A number was called out over the loud speaker. Then a murmur crept throughout the crowd. Then another number. Another murmur. While the smoke-filled room around me emanated with disapproving grunts, I remained fixed and steadfast. I had just gracefully […]
Tito from Macho Nacho Productions recently released a video showcasing a new kit from NintendreMods that eases the process of hacking a Nintendo DS into a DMG-like shell. You can 3D print the case (or have it made at PCBWay) and then follow the instructions in Tito’s video to get it all together. While this […]
A homebrew port/demo for “Batman Returns”—a SNES exclusive 16-bit Konami beat-em-up from 1993—was released for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive this week, giving Sega fans the chance to experience it on original hardware. The team behind this port includes programmer TiagoSC, artist Gabriel Pyron, and musicians Inglebard and Vector Orbitex. The demo only contains the game’s […]
Modretro has released the source code for the Chromatic Game Boy Color handheld and the FPGA code it’s running appears to be a fork of the MiSTer’s GBC core. I believe this is compliant with the open source license, which is always excellent to see. It’s also a nod to how incredible some of the […]

When I got my hands on the […]

Metal Jesus Rocks recently posted a review of the new Game Boy Color from Modretro, called the Chromatic. It was a great overview that included some good shots of the high-quality screen and Everdrive compatibility is confirmed. Overall, it seems like an excellent reproduction of the original with a much better display. That said, most […]
Muramasa Entertainment is now selling a version of the Famicom Disk System RAM Cartridge, but in a standard-sized *NTSC Nintendo Entertainment System cartridge. There are two versions available, but both are essentially the RAM cartridge only – You’ll still need to connect an original Famicom Disk System floppy drive, or an FDS emulator like the […]
When Analogue opened pre-orders on their FPGA-based N64 recreation a few weeks ago, 8Bitdo also opened orders on their N64-style controllers. At the time it looked like the black version sold out right away, but apparently they never went on sale at all! Well, both the white and black are finally up for pre-order at […]
