Video Player Using Zaparoo spark2k06 has created a way to launch movies using Zaparoo (previously called TapTo). This means that you can launch movies on your MiSTerFPGA using NFC cards. The ARM SOC on the DE10 Nano isn’t powerful enough to play high resolution content so you will be limited to low resolutions like 320×240. […]

Pre-orders are still open for the third batch of “MiSTer Pi’s” from Taki Udon. This is a homebrew version of the DE-10 Nano required to use a MiSTer and (despite the misleading name) has nothing to do with a Raspberry Pi. Both the full kits with a case, as well as case-less kits are still […]
Last year Atari released the 2600+ console – a modern day reimagining of their classic Video Computer System from 1977 (later known as the 2600). The new console adds modern conveniences like HDMI and USB-C power and uses software emulation and a clever mapper / dumper setup to dump and play games from original 2600 […]
The Extron EDID Method is a novel and exclusive way to display HD video sources in 240p on a standard definition CRT. The Extron IN1606 and DVS 605 are 2 of several (or possibly many) compatible scalers that interface with the Product Configuration Software (PCS) to upload custom EDID.bin files to output 240p. My first attempt with […]
A modder by the name of Timo (Retro Time) has created a mod that utilizes the expansion port on the the bottom of the North American NES. Nintendo never commercially released an accessory that used this port (with the only know use being for the Minnesota Lottery), so it remained unused for nearly 40 years. […]
8BitDo is now selling a Bluetooth receiver for the Sega Saturn for $25. They’re claiming “Virtually Lag Free”, but as usual they don’t post any actual measurements. If you’re willing to spend an extra $10, you can get one based off of BlueRetro that’s been measured with low-latency BT controllers at less than half a […]
Inside Gadgets is selling a single-flash cart for the Pokémon Mini handheld. It’s only $25, however to program it, you’ll need to buy a $30 cartridge flasher as well. If you already own their “GBxCart RW” – or plan on buying that to flash their other ROM carts – you’d just need a $10 “Edge […]
Every tech generation has examples of hardware ahead of its time. The 1991 Buick Reatta is a brilliant example of this phenomenon. This American made luxury vehicle was loaded with features, including pop-up headlights. However, the most intriguing part of the vehicle has to be the built-in touch screen CRT. The touch screen has an […]
