I recently had the pleasure of talking with Thomas Daede, the creator of an open-source CRT chassis. This project aims to replace the current aging circuitry that drives CRT TV's and arcade machines, with more modern components that allow for more control and flexibility. While the project isn't ready for public testing, Thomas has made some pretty incredible progress so far and this has potential to completely breath new life into older CRT's. If you're a CRT-expert and have experience in high-voltage electronics design, please check out the Github link and see if you can contribute: Github:  https://github.com/tdaede/td-crt Follow Thomas:  https://twitter.com/enginetankard Demo of it in action: https://vimeo.com/591387422 This is also available as a video, links here:  https://www.retrorgb.com/interview-with-open-source-crt-chassis-creator.html Please consider supporting this channel via monthly support services, tips, or even just by using our affiliate links to purc

After over two years of delays, I was finally able to go visit Steve from Retro Tech USA.  His YouTube channel has been the place to go for CRT repair and calibration tips, plus he's recently brought his knowledge to many episodes of the Zez Retro podcast.  This podcast was more of a casual conversation than a technical breakdown, but if you've been following either of our channels for awhile, you might enjoy it.  This is also available as a video, links here:  https://www.retrorgb.com/interview-with-steve-from-retro-tech.html Support Steve on Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/retrotechUSA Retro Tech YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwOTvOtoAjiqQx1PCrfmTKw Check out the Zez Retro Podcast:  https://anchor.fm/zezretro Please consider supporting this channel via monthly support services, tips, or even just by using our affiliate links to purchase things you were already going to buy anyway, at no extra cost to you:  https://www.retrorgb.com/su

I recently interviewed Kevin Mellott: VR enthusiast and creator of many awesome products for the Virtual Boy, Wonderswan and other platforms.  Anyone following RetroRGB since the beginning has surely heard his name (although probably pronounced wrong...sorry ;p) and it was great to finally have a chat with him.  This is also available as a video, links here:  https://www.retrorgb.com/interview-with-kevin-mellott.html Support Kevin's work:  https://www.patreon.com/RetroOnyx His Store:  https://www.retroonyx.com/ Social Media:  https://twitter.com/mellott124  /  https://www.instagram.com/mellott124/  /  https://www.youtube.com/user/mellott124 Please consider supporting this channel via monthly support services, tips, or even just by using our affiliate links to purchase things you were already going to buy anyway, at no extra cost to you:  https://www.retrorgb.com/support.html T-Shirts:  https://www.retrorgb.com/store.html All equipment used to shoot t

I make great efforts to keep the content on RetroRGB positive, but doing the right thing often requires discussing the negativities people might run into.  I know the unfortunate consequences of that is content that's less easy to digest, but we have a serious problem in the retro gaming world:  Cloning.  Today, I'm joined by Nick from HD Retrovision to discuss why clone companies don't get shut down, what's the difference between cloning and just building a competing product and how open source might play into that.  The second half of the podcast moved onto discussing part shortages, the future of HD Retrovision and other random topics that popped up.  This is also available as a video:  https://www.retrorgb.com/discussing-clone-companies-with-nick-from-hd-retrovision.html Follow HD Retrovision:  https://www.hdretrovision.com/  /  https://twitter.com/HDRetrovision Links to their cables are found in the corresponding console section of the website:
