Weekly Roundup #491

https://retrorgb.com/week491.html

Hey there, retro fanatics — your weekly dose of vintage tech magic is here, and it’s weirdly wonderful.

First up: magnetically shielded PC speakers. Yes, they’re a thing now. Because why let your CRTs go mad from stray magnetic fields when you can have peace… and 80s synth tunes?

MiSTerAddons dropped a new DAC that makes your old consoles sound like they’re being serenaded by angels in a velvet-lined arcade. Meanwhile, the Dreamcast’s VMU Pro is getting a Spring 2026 batch — because nothing says “future nostalgia” like pre-ordering a tiny memory card three years in advance.

OldUnreal is stepping up to keep UT2K4 alive — yes, that 2004 shooter you swore off after the server died. Good news: it’s coming back with love, not rage.

And if you’ve ever stared at a wireless composite video setup and whispered, “There’s gotta be zero lag,” well… there is now. Zero. Lag. It’s like magic, but with wires.

Also? Lu’s MiSTer updates just dropped a whole new universe: Apple IIGS, CD-I FMV, Atari 8-bit — basically a time machine in your HDMI port.

And yes, they made a 3D analogue TV that looks like it fell out of 1995 and into your living room. Perfect for yelling at your kids… who weren’t even born yet.

Support the channel if you’re obsessed. Or just buy your coffee through their link. Either way — you’re basically a patron of the retro renaissance now. 🕹️☕
