RetroRGB Weekly Roundup #505: SNES Mods, Sonic Shells & the Ultimate C64 Deep Dive 🎼

This week on RetroRGB, Bob takes you behind the scenes (and inside the chips) of classic gaming tech—with a side of playful enthusiasm that only a true retro enthusiast can deliver.

We kick off with SNES digital audio mods from The Retro Channels, then jump into FPGA goodness: Lu’s latest MiSTer updates cover everything from Mat Mania to the Atari Jaguar, while an open-source NES PPU replacement promising RGB output makes hardware tinkerers salivate.

Sonic fans get a nostalgic treat with 35th-anniversary Dreamcast shells, and Ken dives deep (pun intended) into the Commodore 64 Ultimate—a modded powerhouse that redefines “retro, but better.” Meanwhile, retro modders will love Mcbazel’s GBS-C control mod and a clever downscaler project from Barco/Folsom Research, perfect for modernizing old CRT setups.

Oh—and yes, there’s also a dual-analog Dreamcast controller, the Flame Thrower (watch it here đŸ”„), and Bob’s usual heartfelt plea for support. Because let’s face it: retro preservation doesn’t happen on its own.
