Wow, I'm three-dead-sites deep on Archive.org and have stumbled on the first wiki (which is still online). I knew it existed, but never had paid a visit, and it's so cool that you can go all the way back to 1996. web.archive.org/web/20120204...

Describe the economy in a single sentence

UX folks, I often hear people say that they weren't aware that they could edit ConsoleMods if they make an account. Any ideas to make it clear that it's editable without being annoying? All I could come up with was a bubble like this if you're logged out, but it ruins the clean look.

Showed my nephew the ropes of soldering and had him install a ColecoVision RGB mod! Night and day difference.

If you are near Hamilton, Ontario today; stop by the local game swap to see OpenXHD on display in person. A demo unit will be on display side by side with analog video output to HDMI with a Chimeric adapter all on the same display for a true apples to apples comparison.

Open source Game Boy reg I made. I'm working on a write up since I want it to be a solder practice/guide on how to pic components

My wife 100%'d Balatro recently (gold chip on all jokers). Guess she has to start from scratch on GBA

TIL that if you plug a DualShock 4 controller into a Windows 98 machine, it just magically works and has analog support.

Did you know that Super Mario Bros 2. on the #NES had a bug where a single bit in its code was accidentally set to 0 instead of 1? Well, this little oversight resulted in the 8th frame of many animations in the game getting skipped over #retro #retrogaming #SMB #Nintendo #Mario #SuperMario #gaming

"We're shipping so much more code with AI!" "Good, stable code?" "Oh heavens no. No no no. not at all. We couldn't possibly"

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!

Video mode switching demo using Evox M8+ bios which has stock 5838 BIOS video modes. Captured using a dual input Datapath VisionAV-HD scaled to 1280x720 with OBS. OpenXHD top, YPbPr through a THS7376IPWR video amp bottom. We aim to be BIOS agnostic so you can use your favorite bios.

And a Jellyfin module in the works! youtu.be/r-gylGDoELY?...

This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

what do you mean the new 8 bit cuphead game is being programmed in assembly for the sega master system??? thats fucking crazy. a brand new sega master system game was announced at the summer game fest 2026

I released the source code of the Modos Flow (a 60Hz Eink monitor), and we already have community members experimenting with something different: youtube.com/watch?v=Okda... -Atkinson Dithering, honestly looking much better than the blue noise & bayer dithering previously implemented

Production of the RetroTap is moving forward, marching toward an early summer release. A more exact date will be announced in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.

Mike Chi released what's probably the final "v3" firmware for the RetroTINK 5x. I wanted to show a quick demo of the nearest-neighbor scaling option & also show that while the v4 CRT masks are better, the v3's still hold up just fine!

64DD - An Explainer | Yakumono's Blog luigiblood.neocities.org/blog/2026-05... I have finally done the #64DD Explainer post for the those who don't know what it is, it also explains all the games that came out. #N64 #Nintendo (Ce post existe aussi en Français pour résumer la 64DD !)

Is anyone aware of a tool to test N64 Expansion Pak? I just assembled an OpenExp (thanks Consoles4You!!), but I can't seem to find a test to fully verify a working Expansion Pak besides just running a game that requires it.

With my python 1 emulator launching soon, I need to test new titles to improve it. As part of that, we need cleaner dumps than what is indexed today. So here's a new P1 dumping tool for real hardware. Just need a sd2psx and usb drive I call it "Snake Charmer" Reach out if interested in testing!

PSA if you ran "irm get.activated.win | iex" but instead of activated you typed in actvated or actrivated you have been ratted and should reset your pc

God, this was such a great game. Super slow and cozy, I think I'm going to give it a few years to forget and then dedicate a winter's worth of nights to fully beat it. My only complaint is that there's no save-anywhere feature, save management is rough. Maybe someday I'll commission a ROM hack.

I'm not happy about writing this, but too many people I care about are hurting, and it's preventable. medium.com/@jakeorlowit... #Wikipedia

The NEW PS2 Launcher v1.0.0 looks sick! Works on PS2 hardware! Download: github.com/Irfanlesnar/... Things to keep in mind: - USB and HDD game loading - Cover art support - No SMB & mmce support yet - No GSM & other OPL features support - exFAT formatted HDD failed to work for me

update on me using texture CDs: I made a program that uses image recognition to search through them because this one had shitty labelling. Doesn't work perfectly since I have to run the model on the CPU but it's good enough here it is if anyone wants it for some reason github.com/IoIxD/sortma...

Early Xbox Kinect was awesome because people used them as chat mics with TV speakers and you could yell "XBOX OFF" and it'd remotely turn off their Xbox. There has to be an equivalent for these like just speaking "Meta, power off" at the clowns wearing them lol

XCAT news! Our last find was almost 2 months ago. Console 2051****3402 found the last missing roster update for ESPN NBA Basketball (2K4) NTSC. All DLC for this game is now archived and is available on Rocky5's downloader. consolemods.org/XCAT Please keep on XCATing!
