I’ll admit that while I’ve booted the 1st level of the original PlayStation 1 game Chrono Cross at least a hundred times, it’s always been to test resolutions. See, Chrono Cross is a 240p game, with 480i menus – Something that made zero difference on CRT’s, but drives modern displays and capture cards crazy. Anyway, […]
I was interested to come across this video by MatteusBeus – AKA Matthew Bennion – whose channel covers game development on the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive. In it he provides an excellent overview of the ongoing work of both Richard Kaussler and Javier de Silóniz Sandino (known in the community as Javi) towards reverse […]
I recently sat down with Scott to discuss how some types of 480i and 480p content looks on CRT’s and projectors. Unlike almost everything else we do on RetroRGB, this conversation is 100% speculation, with no comparison footage or facts to back it up. It’s legit just a podcast of us talking about what types […]
PSX Core updates THe PlayStation core has most features almost implemented, but some important bugs still need to be fixed before an official release is done. Some games that have had major bugs fixed so far with help from the community are: Tobal No. 1 Dead or Alive Jackie Chan’s Stuntmaster All Resident Evil games […]
I put together a video, in order to warn people against putting non-shielded speakers (or magnets! ;p) next to CRT displays. I also show speakers that are safe to use ranging from cheap, to what I’d consider “high end”…for me at least. Unfortunately, it’s really hard to find brand new speakers that are still shielded, […]
UPDATE: Everything’s on hold, as the creator is still waiting on approval from Tindie for their store to open. Check back for more info! A Bluetooth controller receiver for the Nintendo 64 is available for purchase. These appear to be simple printed circuit boards in a 3D printed shell. They’re available as of Saturday, 04/09/2022 […]
I’ve released a new video that focuses on the horizontal movement of Mega Man 2 and environmental collision detection. The game was coded in a way that allows Mega Man to move forward – but – constantly adjusts his position so he doesn’t end up stuck in a foreground tile. The problem is that this […]
A controller adapter was just released, called the CDi Bluetooth. As expected per the name, this allows modern bluetooth controllers to connect to CDi consoles. This was accomplished by combining bluepad32 with TwBurn’s controller library and some custom code. At the moment, only controllers are supported, but if there’s interest, the team will consider adding […]
“Preservation” is a term we hear frequently in the retro video game community, and one that is extremely important to the art form of video games. Despite being such a young industry compared to other art forms such as novels, music or film, video games have arguably been some of the most difficult content to […]
We’ve seen ray tracing be added to quite a few classic games as modders and developers are getting used to the technology. The most famous example might be Quake 2 RTX which injected the tech into the game to great effect. There is now a new mod for the original Doom that adds a completely […]
