Sega's Super Hang-On is one of the company's best 'Super Scaler' racers, but you really need to experience the arcade original to get the full impact, thanks to its authentic handle bar interface. Of course, if you're comfortable hacking stuff, then you could always take @DrTomTilley's...

The N64's analogue stick was revolutionary for the time, but it was also very prone to damage. Not only is the stick a little more delicate than the ones we've seen since, it's also very much at risk if you accidentally drop the pad and it lands face-down. As ever, the community is here to...

Chris P Ville, the developer behind the FlippyDrive ODE, has created another GameCube mod – a special receiver which connects four WaveBirds to your console without the need for the original receivers. In case you didn't know, the WaveBird wireless controller uses a special RF receiver which...

In the pantheon of PlayStation hardware, the Japan-only PSX surely stands apart as a unique slice of history. While it was sold as a high-end digital video recorder when it launched in 2003, it contains an integrated PlayStation 2 console, making it a popular choice for hardcore Sony fans over...

3DS capture cards have been around for years now, but none of them feature the ability to capture a true 3D image which can be viewed with the correct hardware – until now, that is. Loopy – the developer behind one of the oldest 3DS capture cards – has just released a beta version of their...

Getting a vintage console to output HDMI is one of the top priorities for many retro gamers, and to this end we've seen a wide array of external and internal solutions. The very best examples take the direct digital signal from your console, while other options – such as the Retrotink 5X – turn...

Nintendo has seemingly issued multiple DMCA takedowns against mods hosted on the community site GameBanana. As member 'Waikuteru' highlighted, more than 60 separate DMCA takedowns have been issued over just a few days with 40 directed at them specifically, rendering their GameBanana profile...

Considering it's a 'dead' console which originally released way back in 1989, the Nintendo Game Boy certainly gets a lot of attention in the modern era. Not only do we have the excellent Analogue Pocket for all of our Game Boy needs, we've seen devices like the Anbernic RG35XX SP take...

We've already established that everything put together falls apart, and that certainly applies to your average retro video game console – these devices are already operating way beyond their expected lifespans, so it goes without saying that parts will need replacing over time if you're hoping...

Voultar, the modder and engineer behind products such as the SNES RGB, N64 RGB and Wii-U Nand recovery kit, has had his workshop "ransacked" by an as-yet-unknown individual. "I'm sorry, but I'm going to be out of commission for a while. Someone ransacked my lab last night. Almost everything has...

HI all, Having previously modded the 2009 PC version of the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy, I have now obtained a copy of Grand Theft Auto IV - The Complete Edition, which includes 'The Lost and Damned' and 'The Ballad of Gay Tony' expansion packs, and will try to upgrade the game in a similar...
