I recently updated my HDMI switching setup and I'm very happy with the results. It makes it easy to play on either my monitor or the TV, take screenshots with a single button or scale console games through the RetroTINK 4K. 🐇

2025 has been a good year of gaming for me. Here's a tier list of all the games I completed this year. Looking forward to the games I'll experience in 2026.

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

Merry Christmas Gaiden

Again, I'll say: if you've never played a Mystery Dungeon or you've only played spinoffs like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, there's never been a better, more content and QOL feature-rich Shiren game to start than 6/Serpentcoil. $20 for the base game alone is a steal for all the dungeons it comes with.

THEY ADDED NEW GARBAGE reblog to save a life

Good morning

If you're using Windows 11, Microsoft is now surveilling you in a new way. This may already be turned on on your computer, and you would not be notified; it activates whenever they detect you are in a "game", which in my experience Microsoft often false-positives on doublepulsar.com/microsoft-bu...

I thought something seemed off about the the image posted below: it's a photo that's been edited and colorized by AI. Please don't do that.

Mole Mania DX is out now! Enjoy this classic Game Boy puzzle game in full color for the first time in 30 years! Get it at www.marcrobledo.com/game-boy/mol... #MoleManiaDX #GameBoy #GameBoyColor #RomHacking

New video! TurboNanza is a PC Engine/TurboGrafx/SuperGrafx mod that includes S-video that uses the same colors as composite, which are much better and very different from the RGB palette on these systems. With the RetroTINK 4K's Enhanced S-Video feature, it's near-RGB quality! youtu.be/05x7jujrB3U

I would have preferred an option to simply switch to the original, pixellated sprites rather than an entire “Classic” version. That or have each sprite completely redone in a more hand drawn, fittingly HD art style. Your mileage may vary. Here is a quick comparison vs my JVC D-Series CRT’s S-Video

Hold down A + C + Start as the fighter launches in Stage 6 to get a different musical track... a rejected tune from ActRaiser that until now has only been heard on the Misty Blue CD release! It's so much more fitting for Earthion and an absolute banger tune!

This statement tells me a few things: 1) They are scared. You don't acknowledge something like the current movement unless you have to. 2) Whomever wrote this and approved it is disconnected from whomever made the initial decision. Wild misalignment here. 3) They are lying. Outright.

Sorry I might delete more videos then

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

Finally figured out how to get glitch free 240p <-> 480i (and 288p <-> 576i) transitions without adding lag or fake blanking the image!! In this mode, the RT4K syncs and scans the fields exactly the same way as a CRT. Perfect for mastering 240p Test Suite.

Our patch for Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary for 3DS, PSP, and updated version for NDS is now available to download on our site! precisemuseum.com/puyo-puyo-20... We have all 3 patches compiled into one post for your convenience~ Happy playing! #PuyoPuyo #PuyoPuyo20thAnniversary

I guess my gaming habits are using an overpriced 600€ graphics card to play Game Boy Color style 2D games. Btw, play @system-erasure.bsky.social's Void Stranger. It's a very strong GOTY contender for me right now.

Spring is here 🐑🌷🚴

If you're playing Breath of Fire IV on GOG (you should) I highly recommend to follow the small tutorial below ("Forcing Point Sampling for Sharp Pixels") to remove the filter from the PC version and restore its gorgeous pixel-art! Also, keep the resolution in 4:3 format! (before/after)

So there are signs that the very unethical autodubbing feature YouTube is rolling out will be opt-out instead of opt-in. Found these on their FAQ pages for it, so please keep an eye on your channels if they ever push the dubbing to be auto-enabled. Keep this shit off.

new game alert!! MOLE MOLE - out now ! 💣 Blow stuff up 🛌 Take a NA P 🌊 Turn around don't drown!! 🥵 25 (ish) levels of undergroun ADVENTURES 📲 Works decent ish on your phone even ! adamatomic.itch.io/mole-mole

Marqs released a new OSSC PRO firmware last week: github.com/marqs85/ossc... Here is an image showing RF source upscaled to 1440p (with and without scanlines/mask + extra hori. blur). We went full circle 🤠 Release date for the board with RF connector is still TBA btw.

There's also a post by GuyPerfect (one of the people behind BS F-Zero Deluxe) comparing the recreation and original data, and you would be seriously impressed how close the BS F-Zero Deluxe team got with Forest I and Forest II. superfamicom.org/blog/2025/03...

FOUND! We dumped BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2 Week 1! Probably one of the most major finds we did in a while. BS F-Zero Deluxe has also been updated to version 1.1 to include the original data from this one! superfamicom.org/blog/2025/03... #Satellaview #FZERO

I spoke too soon heh... Nintendo released a new Alarmo update a few hours ago. The new update contains a new 2ndloader where the signature is properly checked in USB mode. If you want to modify your Alarmo without soldering, stay on v2.0.0!

Someone made a Wiley E. Coyote style painted wall to see if Tesla’s autopilot would detect it and well…

Thank you for helping research SNES APU clock speeds. Several journalists provided coverage. Ars Technica had the most technical details. Do you have human eyes? You can help @dwangoac.tas.bot spot things. Please join discord.gg/TASBot to aid. No special skills needed. Just eyes.

Did you know that Bowser can't hurt small Mario in Super Mario Bros. 3? All this time jumping and dodging and all you had to do was not move.

Thanks, Chrome. Exactly what I wanted. No effective ad blockers and AI garbage everywhere in dev tools with no options to disable it.

The N-Zone magazine was ahead of its time, when it placed the Megahit Holy Magic Century above Banjo-Kazooie on the cover page of issue 6/98. @quest64official.bsky.social

For anyone looking for a great value for money scaler, I honestly don't think you can do better than this.

It's perfect cycling weather. The goal of today's 40 km ride was a cabin on a lake. Not much left of the cabin, but the ride was still nice. Earlier this week I found a small hunter's lodge in another forest.

In a better world, 13 Sentinels would be on PC and run on bleeding edge upscalers so its battles could be benchmark fodder for tech channels the world over. When a new GPU comes out, I wanna know how many particles it can render gushing from the enemies I slay at 8K before the framerate buckles.

New video! Let’s check out the Scalable Video Switch, a modular, customizable analog video selector! youtu.be/3pXAhe6YfC0

Autism is not a disease. It is not something to be "cured". It's just a way someone is, and I really wish people would just take time to learn about it rather than what you've heard about in the past. It's so frustrating

SNES consoles seem to be getting faster as they age. Help us collect data. Do you have an SNES and a flash cart? Run the smpspeed ROM test from lidnariq on your console. Post your results on this TASBot Nextcloud form: nextcloud.tas.bot/index.php/ap...

In Yoshi's Island, all Shy Guys are the same object. A Shy Guy's color is decided solely by its initial spawn point in the level. I have taken the liberty to fill a level with Shy Guys to create a Shy Guy coloration matrix.

RetroTINK 4K-Pro vs 4K-CE startup time comparison.

This bookmarklet tells the MiSTer to load the last played game, then switches to the screenshots page of the MiSTer remote web interface. I use a small userscript to focus the screenshot button, so that I can take screenshots by pressing the space bar on my PC.
