Retrorgb Weekly Roundup

I was able to sit down in-person with Jan from Consoles4U while he was traveling in NYC. Luckily, the owner of Brooklyn Video Games allowed us to use the basement arcade to record, so it was a really cool, laid-back atmosphere! Also, a bit echo-y, with the occasional subway car going past :) Either way, I think it was a great conversation that covered Jan's beginnings in the scene, the cool products he's currently working on and...of course...some cloning talk. Hopefully you'll all enjoy!

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Paul and Drew, developers behind the "MK+" arcade hacks. Calling them "hacks" feels like a massive understatement though - These are more like re-writes of the games, that add characters, extra features and SO MANY options. And they work in emulation and on real hardware too! If you're a Mortal Kombat fan, this is a must-listen!  A video version of the podcast is linked on the main page:   Discord Server: https://discord.gg/aPXXjqy Main Website: (temporarily down) Paul: https://www.youtube.com/c/PaulEicher / https://twitter.com/zpaul2fresh8 Drew: https://www.youtube.com/tehdrewsus / https://twitter.com/tehdrewsus_MK 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 e

Here's a "swapcast" with friend, tournament organizer and pro gamer Arturo, aka Sabin.  We streamed this live on Art's Twitch channel and I'm also featuring it here, as we think both of our audiences would enjoy us nerding out over lag, capture and just other fun randomness.  There were some connection issues, but I think I did a decent enough job stitching it together here, so it's barely noticeable.  This is also available as a video on either of our channels - Just check the links for more info:  https://www.retrorgb.com/interview-with-arturo-aka-sabin.html Twitch:  https://www.twitch.tv/nycfurby/about YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/fgcsabin Twitter:  https://twitter.com/nycfurby 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.retrorg
