Are replacement famicom cases not a thing? I keep seeing a clear top part for £50+ and loads of SFC cases, but none for the famicom?

New Flynn’s Arcade game!

Christ on a bike, pac man has fallen on hard times…

Cannot wait for this to be released!

Oh snap. I just ordered this by accident*

CRT displays aren’t always ‘massive’ or expensive.

Anyone who uses the word ‘crisp’ in a positive way when talking about retro game video output is a massive bellend who is totally missing the point. Discuss.

Hey, you tube retro gaming and modding video viewers, did you know that PCBWay manufactures pcbs, 3d printing and even CNC machining? YES, BECAUSE YOU TELL US EVERY FUCKING VIDEO!!!

Had a conversation about tiger bread being too thick for fish finger sandwiches this morning. I agreed, but I can unhinge my jaw like a snek, so I was ok.

At my mate Bobbi’s place testing all his arcade pcbs. We had a 1000% success rate. Everything worked (eventually)

@flynnsarcade.bsky.social Have sent me a switch code for ION Shift. I’ll be looking at it tonight.

Flora & Fang: Guardians of the vampire garden is a co-op arcade gem with vampires, bug spray, and pumpkins. Spooky-cute, fast-paced, and full of surprises. @flynnsarcade.bsky.social #FloraAndFang #NintendoSwitch #NintendoSwitch2 wp.me/p70tPw-ptu

@pirategamething.com Have you seen this blue famicom before?

New substack blogpost, on PC Engine controllers. A couple of fixes, a mod and a new build! open.substack.com/pub/virtvics...

FLORA & FANG: Guardians of the vampire garden is out today on Switch from @flynnsarcade.bsky.social. It's a fun arcade-style game with a heavy dose of Donkey Kong 3 but its own spin and deeper mechanics. Watch my playthrough of the first 22 stages and get it today: www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

Pollinator, the mechanical arcade game kit, WIP. Shown here, the jig I will use to make the playfield.

The people of @flynnsarcade.bsky.social were kind enough to send me a #NintendoSwitch key code for Flora & Fang: Guardians of the Vampire Garden which is a new game they publish and developed by @bortbyting.bsky.social. The game will release on July 10 in the eShop so be sure to check it out! 🎮👍🏼

If you loved Stanley’s adventures in Donkey Kong 3, or the Game & Watch ‘Green House’ - you’ll love this! If you’re also a Vampire fan, you’ll be in spooky heaven!

I've been busy again. 2 small projects this time - open.substack.com/pub/virtvics...

Does anyone know where to get N64 cartridge flap springs from? I bought a new shell for a loose mobo I had and it didn't come with any screws or springs. Screws were easy to replace.

I did a hard fix. PC Engine video repair on Substack - open.substack.com/pub/virtvics...

I screen modded a GBC then yapped about it on a blog - open.substack.com/pub/virtvics...

I have a pc engine with corrupt graphics. I suspect the two RAM chips. Is there anywhere you can buy replacements?

God damn, N64 ram expansions are £££ Why hasn’t someone made one out of a pico yet?

I’m going to be at Arcade Club (Bury) on the 5th July and the Leeds branch on the 6th, come along and say hello while enjoying the finest of arcade games!

Apparently, there’s a new Nintendo Mario Kart console out. Wake me up when Yoshi gets his game on it.

Late night blogpost (I've just finished it) open.substack.com/pub/virtvics...

Been on an N64 trip lately. Seen this. Seems legit?

N64 question - I have a Japanese N64 motherboard. I have plugged in a UK power supply, a jump pak and am using a SNES/N64 composite cable. I’m getting the led light up but black screen. Does it need anything other than what I have already? My PAL one has the worst washed out picture…

#Gaurodan is out! The 2013 game has been completely redone to fit my current vision of traditional arcade game design. It's denser (more levels but less overall length), with better pacing, mechanics and a proper scoring system. Music by @gryzor87.bsky.social ♫ Info and downloads at locomalito.com

I interview Laurence Bennion of Blacklighter.co.uk, who has created an amazing selection of ultraviolet overlays for the Vectrex console. youtu.be/PuTvFrkV500?...

Anyone got any knowledge of the Telstar Combat console from 1977?

I did an extra thing on Substack - open.substack.com/pub/virtvics...

New Substack blog slipped out. NeoGeo CD Top Loader fun. Will it / won't it work? open.substack.com/pub/virtvics...

I have installed the Furrtek SD loader into my junked Neo Geo top loader. I have just played Ironclad for the first time. What a beautiful game. I now need to make myself a new joystick for it…

@jake74.bsky.social Here is one I did. The next ones are bigger, with full size sanwa buttons.

Just spent ages wiping the gluey shit from a Neo Geo pocket screen to add a back light panel and now it won’t read any cartridges. Fuck you, NeoGeo.

Kellogg PR - guys! What shall we call this new exciting cheese flavour of Pringles? Many hours later -

Does anyone make NES replacement shells?

Last part of my Batong Sunsonic Famiclone refurb. open.substack.com/pub/virtvics...

@weskmods.bsky.social @pointerfunction.bsky.social Anyone done a reproduced Neo Geo cd top loader console case?

Boulderdash on Famicom has a baked bean level.

Didn’t know they made an analog bat version of these until watching ArcadeUSA’s video. I’ll be tinkering with this and modifying it a lot…
