So this begs the question.. What is the best way to get a clean signal that can be easily upscaled by something like the #retrotink without emulation?

Replying to @_TheLongDefeat
The NES PPU generates a composite video signal internally, there's no way to tap into anything else. NESRGB works by reimplementing some of the PPU die's logic to generate RGB. Reimplemented logic = emulation in my books. (Many people aren't this strict in definition)

Do you remember Garbage Pail Kids? A trading card sensation from the #1980s that was so popular it got a MOVIE. That movie is SO bad it's considered one of the worst #hollywood movie of all times (Google it!) Here's some brand new 2022 #gpk action. Should I do an #unboxing video?

Now playing in 1996! On this glorious day back then, Apogee (using a marketing label we do not use anymore, "3D Realms") released the shareware version 1.0 of Duke Nukem 3D. And strangely this little indie game still seems to have a following to this day. Hail to the King, baby!

I got the COOLEST accessory for my Virtual Boy. Not enough people are aware of this, so I had to make a video to demonstrate what it can do! We need way more of this kind of thing!

OK this is a bit frustrating.. I bought a ticket for @ClerksMovie @ThatKevinSmith back in July for Grand Rapids. On the receipt it says Official Platinum but nowhere does anything say what it means. I'm sure I read it before purchasing. @LiveNation anyone have that info?

Maybe @TMFanSupport can help

If you are trying to PRESERVE cartridge based games, don't use anything except this proven method. Also Please don't BLOW on your NES games. I am tired of cleaning up 30 year old cheeto crumbs.

As you can see taking a little bit of time and effort really does pay off never use brazo that will destroy your cartridges and your systems use the high polymer eraser and 99 proof alcohol. And then most importantly do not touch the golden fingers once you're done cleaning them

Ruin a video game by replacing or adding the word 'moist' in the title.
I remember this bug! Getting the CD release and then finding the bug, finding information about the bug and a patch, tracking down the patch on a BBS and downloading it, copying the patch to floppy disks and taking it home to patch my system. I still hate updates lol

Discovered a shitty bug in Descent where any of the 1.5 releases (Which are unfortunately most CD releases) don't have any music after level 7. Playing Descent without music is a crime against humanity Use this patch if you have this copy and play on DOS: vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=1…
