I miss creating video content. I have so little free time now that it’s been months since I’ve even fired up a retro system.
This hobby used to re-energize me and help me get through the day-to-day grind. It's affected me more than I thought it would. Feels like a big piece of me is missing. 😐
With @polpo 's latest 3.x firmware, the PicoGUS is able to emulate a CD-ROM drive! Using ISO and BIN/CUE images on a USB stick, it eliminates yet another unreliable component with moving parts in a retro PC. Join me today as I take this new feature for a spin!
It's been ages but I finally posted a new YouTube video. Join me as I take an in-depth look at Edro and Leo's brand new MK1869 ISA sound card! This thing ticks off all the right boxes ✅

New Video! Today I enhance a pair of 3dfx Voodoo 3 1000 cards. They get poly-modded, volt-modded and an upgraded cooling system. Was I able to get these to 166MHz Voodoo 3 3000 performance levels? Join me to find out! ⚡😎

I interview Mike from @vswitchzero
who has a fascinating YouTube channel dedicated to 90s retro PC hardware and gaming.
We had a great discussion regarding 90s retro computing including the fabulous impact of the 3dfx Voodoo 3D accelerators on the PC platform and us.

The Microsoft SideWinder Game Pad 1.0 released in 1996 designed for Windows 95 gaming (not DOS).
Most PCs of this era only had one gameport for controller devices, so it features a pass through port to connect additional players.
It's surprisingly comfortable considering its age too.
This is mine all cleaned up and ready for action.
New video! The 2024 Retro Haul - join me as I sort through a massive box full of retro goodies. This one is unscripted and slower pace than my usual videos 👍
New video! Join me as I repair a neglected pair of OEM #3dfx Voodoo 3 1000 cards. In part one, I provide an overview of this odd card, repair both and marvel at their unbelievable thermal problems.
Part two will be all about the enhancements. Stay tuned! 🙃
