Retro gaming hardware is having a moment, and this week’s RetroRGB roundup proves it’s not just about nostalgia—it’s about survival. If you’ve ever stared at a scratched disc in despair or worried about your aging console, Bob and the team have some serious solutions.
First up, the community is rallying around open-source tools. There’s a new open-source disc polisher called EZBuff that actually resurfaces discs rather than just cleaning them. It’s a game-changer for anyone tired of replacing mint-condition media. Speaking of preservation, the OSSC Pro just got a profile update to fix those annoying wobbling pixels, and Lu’s MiSTer FPGA news brings fresh cores for Bemani and IGS games.
For the hardware hackers, there’s plenty to chew on. You can finally replace your GameCube’s notorious brick power supply with sleek USB-C alternatives, and the PlayStation 1 just got a 16MB RAM mod for smoother performance. There’s even a dedicated switch dock for the GameCube, proving that classic controllers deserve modern convenience.
And yes, there’s a swim goggle shootout. Because apparently, we need to know which goggles offer the best visibility for intense gaming sessions. Check the links for the full deep dive, and please consider supporting the channel if you value these deep dives into retro tech.
