Ready to get retro? This week’s roundup from RetroRGB is packed with deep dives into the hardware and history that keep classic gaming alive. If you’re tired of scrolling through endless links, here’s the quick rundown of what’s buzzing in the community.

First up, if you’ve ever wondered why your NES output looks like a wobbly mess, there’s a clear explanation for that composite video artifacting. It’s not just your TV acting up; it’s physics. On the hardware side, the RetroTINK 4K is getting smarter with a new Profile Editor and Lumacode support, giving power users finer control over their signal chain.

For the competitive crowd, Gampadla has released a new Lag Test Kit, and there’s a fascinating look at the hidden 3D ball physics in NES Double Dribble. It turns out that “corner three” exploit wasn’t a bug—it was a feature of the code.

Other highlights include a rare CRT + PC Engine combo that looks stunning, a GameCube internal Bluetooth kit for the modern era, and a nostalgic trip back to the AIM server history. Plus, Bob revisits a coffee machine he’s reviewed before (because caffeine is essential for emulation).

Whether you’re watching the video or tuning in via podcast, there’s plenty to geek out over. And if you enjoy the content, check out the support links—it’s the best way to keep these deep dives coming.
