RetroRGB Weekly Roundup #504: Floppies, FPGAs, and a Real Saturn Accelerator?
Bob from RetroRGB is back with his 504th weekly deep dive into vintage computing and gaming — and this one’s packed with niche gems, hardware mods, and historical revelations.
First up: PicoIDE, a new open-source IDE for ATAPI drive emulation on retro systems — ideal for folks wanting to modernize their PC Engine or Mega Drive setups without burning the midnight oil on soldering irons. Meanwhile, Prize Fighter gets a surprising Sega Saturn port, now live on the Internet Archive — proof that some homebrew devs have too much time on their hands (and we’re not mad).
The MiSTer SuperStation One review unpacks what might be the most versatile retro TV box ever made — emulating everything from NES to arcade boards, all while using real floppy drives (yes, real ones). And speaking of MiSTer: Lu’s latest FPGA update brings NBA Jam multisystem carts, new arcade ROMs, and even better TV output — basically making your 90s dream setup actually work.
Oh, and former Sega engineers just confirmed: the Saturn “accelerator” card was real — not just a myth or prototype leak, but an actual piece of dev hardware. Cue collective gasp from the Saturn fanbase.
Tune in via video or podcast — and maybe throw Bob a tip if you’re feeling generous. His gear links (via Amazon) make it almost fair to buy that new CRT just because he mentioned it. 😄
