Happy 25th birthday, Game Boy Advance! To celebrate, I am happy to announce the Game Boy Enhance is FINALLY here! The Game Boy Enhance (AGBM) is a circuit-level recreation of the Game Boy Advance. It uses almost all-new components, but still uses the original CPU - it's not emulation!

That was quite the build. Can basically play pressed and backup discs from any region or games off an SD card, in proper 50/60hz mode and with no fear of losing save data Saturn has been popular this year, check out my services here: jeffsretrogaming.com/product/satu... 5/5

Pics of the optical drive cleaning and stamp of approval! 4/5

Pics of the Full Recap Service across all 3 boards - PSU, Mainboard and CDROM 3/5

Pics of the switchless mod and LED that has colors for each region/mode, phantom modchip and ODE/switcher install 2/5

Order 9332 Complete! Customer sent in a Sega Saturn (Model 2 VA-SD) for a bunch of upgrades: - Region Free BIOS - Switchless 50/60hz Mod - FRAM Upgrade - ODE & Switcher - Phantom Modchip Also fully recapped, cleaned and transferred to a custom shell, check it out 👇 1/5

Looks like Yoei now offers a "35th Anniversary Sonic" edition of his awesome #Sega #Dreamcast replacement shells. Links and more info in the main post: https://retrorgb.com/35th-anniversary-sonic-dreamcast-shells.html

NeoGeo AES Shell replacement model is fully done (and tested by the amazing @chris-jh.bsky.social), and now available on my Printables! www.printables.com/model/163908...

Custom Sega Saturn build in progress for a customer This thing is getting every single mod/upgrade you can think of… ODE, switcher, RF bios, FRAM, switchless region, custom shell, etc This Is Cool 😎

Building the @jeffchen.bsky.social Playstation 2/3 1080i VGA dongle 3d prints provided by @topvint.co.uk I have spare parts to make some of these, so if interested, please let me know 😁

2x custom made RGB scart cable build and shipped out. - Sega Saturn cable with custom sticker to be used on a moded Master System with an RGB bypass amp - Sega Genesis 2 cable with cstom sticker to be used on a Master System 2 moded with an RGB bypass amp #retro #RETROGAMING

Progress on my “ultimate NES”… SM-Tendo PCB by @zaxour.bsky.social POW Block by @zaxour.bsky.social Smoke shell by Retro Game Restore Ninten-Drawer by ME! DAT’S RIGHT! And no internal HDMI FPGA BS.. @retrotink.com or GTFO

Also a huge shoutout to @consolesunleashed.bsky.social for the amazing mods they make for the SMS! I love the simplicity of their designs and excellent documentation

This Sega Master System has every mod imaginable and I love it! Dual pause mod, switchless region and fm audio, new BIOS, new caps, and @zaxour.bsky.social amazing RGB bypass mod! Zaxour’s RGB bypass produces the best RGB I’ve ever seen on the SMS, plus s-video and composite restore!

To help with fixing the region flicker, i made a flex pcb. github.com/Board-Folk/N...

That looks awesome, nice work!

Thank u so much for building this beast for me sir. Cant wait to play some Mario & paperboy on it.

This week I built an Opentendo Toploader NES for @choppedup4lyfe.bsky.social and I love how it looks! Installed a hi def NES kit and the original RF modulator so you can see the between hdmi and messy jailbar RF

Thanks to the tireless efforts of the community, the Neptune "region flicker" issue has been diagnosed and fixed! To commemorate in true #Sega style, here's a service bulletin, complete with traditional inconsistent fonts and dodgy layout.

Fixed! See bsky.app/profile/cosa...

Neptune revision 1.4 has just been released, including the "region flicker" fix and some BOM updates/corrections. This one was a real team effort, so thanks to all who contributed! github.com/Board-Folk/N...

All Ninten-Drawer pre-orders have shipped! Looks like we made a few more units than needed, so those have been added to the shop. blueshell3d.com/products/nin...

This is @misirajeduart.bsky.social's Mega Drive 2 cable, compared to the one from Insurrection Industries. SCART head seems to be pretty much the same, the DIN plug on Eduart's cable is very good and is actually retractable, which surprised me. #RETROGAMING #MegaDrive #SegaGenesis

In case anyone was still doubting @misirajeduart.bsky.social's level of craftsmanship. Take a look at the inside of the SCART heads. You can tell which is which.

bought an external HDD for my wiiU, but ofcourse it was looking way too boring, so I made a little slipcase to match the system 😂

Sega Saturn SV files have dropped! Get them here: bitbuilt.net/forums/index...

Bluesky compresses the balls out of it, here's a google drive link: drive.google.com/file/d/13S7a...

As part of all this Sega Saturn stuff I had been working on I recreated the Saturn logo in 3D, here's a sweet wallpaper for all you Saturn lovers.

Design is now complete and I think I've settled on the name. Expect release in a day or so 😎

Looking utterly phenomenal in person, assembly happening later today.

RGB and Composite (my crappy SVideo cable lost chroma 🥲)

Comparison of RGB, S-Video and Composite via RT5X

My JP Master System kitted up with a bypass board (Based on 4BP) for RGB and Svideo! Installing on the bottom made it kind of a mess, but everything works great, I assure you 😂

Enjoy! Please share any pics of your own installs, along with any feedback you might have for me ❤️

First assembly went well, only a few little adjustments to make to improve tolerances.

An update: Yes, the Saturn Slim is still happening! The reception to the initial design was mixed, I also wasn't happy with the mechanical design and assembly so I shelved it until I was ready to come back to it. I've come back to it, and it will use the same BOM as the Saturn Mini.

Very detailed review of my RGB scart cable. Check it out Thanks Scott 😁

The Boys 😎

Practicing more on the Composite & S-video COMBO cables - Playstation 1/2 - Nintendo (Ntsc. SNES, N64, Gamecube, SNES Jr. modded, NESRGB) - Sega Saturn - Sega Dreamcast #RETRO #retrogames #games #gaming #nintendo #sega #Playstation

It can be difficult to gauge scale from pictures so here is the Saturn Mini next to a Saturn CD drive. By volume it's a 70% reduction from an OEM Saturn while maintaining correct scaling. I will be releasing a guide on how to perform the fold in a couple weeks along with releasing the case files.

A peek at the guts of the unit

The first "complete" Saturn mini is finally assembled. Got a ton of testing to do now.

It's been an utter grind for the past 3 days but I think I'm ready to call version 1.0 *complete*

WavePhoenix is 100% open source hardware and firmware, fully compatible with OEM WaveBird controllers, and can be built with less than $5 in parts.

This week I installed a pretty rare piece of kit for the NES! This toploader is modded with the Hi Def NES, which provides lag free 1080p video and digital audio. These kits have been sold out for years, and this console is available for sale: 1uprestorations.com/collections/...

This Opentendo build for @choppedup4lyfe.bsky.social is FIRE HOT! It's using Merlin Shaw's power module and both PCBs have a gorgeous red silkscreen that matches with a RGR red transparent shell! To top it off, I installed a Hi Def NES with @collingall.bsky.social no-cut HDMI port on the bottom!

I might be launching soon my quality S-Video & Composite combo cables for retro systems that support both. Tested for the Playstation and results are quite satisfying 🙏 More testing on the ps1/ps2 over crt and flatscreen with the tink 5x will get done tomorrow

New mods released to the console modding community for free. Here is my logic based Sega Mega Drive / Sega Genesis TMSS Disable mod. Two PCBs available. A basic PCB requiring a full wire install & QSB PCB requiring a two wire install. github.com/consolesunle... #segamegadrive #segagenesis #tmss

Here's something I started a while back but have yet to share publicly. A theoretical Saturn Mini, it requires the VA-SG variant of the Saturn mainboard and a board fold that I have yet to fully develop and test. I've got two projects to finish up before I get back to seeing if this is possible 🤞
