Discussing Video Conversion with Simon Aarons

I recently had an audio-only discussion/podcast with Simon Aarons, creator of the Brovicon Video Converter. We discussed how the software works, why it's so helpful that he made a graphical front-end to existing software...and just chatted about video conversion. If you've ever wanted to convert video you've recorded or ripped, this will most likely interest you - "Just slide up a chair" and come hang out while we chat. If video conversion isn't your thing at all, this one probably isn't for you ;p Brovicon: https://github.com/simontime/BroviconFollow Simon: https://twitter.com/ItsSimonTimeAviSynth+ (install before using): https://github.com/AviSynth/AviSynthPlus/releases/ As always, these long-form podcasts are also available as a video, with links on ⁠⁠retrorgb.com⁠⁠ 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 Simon and I discussed a using AVIDemux to cut video files at keyframes without re-rendering, as well as a specific model of "DVD recorder" that does a great job with (broadcast) analog video. Here's links to both: Recorder: https://www.panasonic.com/au/support/product-archives/home-entertainment/recorders/dmr-bwt760gn.htmlAVIDemux: https://www.fosshub.com/Avidemux.html

Interview with Fixel

Here's an interview with developer Felix, also known as "Fixel": Creator of the FreeDO emulator, as well as some impressive ODE and HDMI mods. I really enjoyed hearing about reverse engineering the 3DO, as well as getting a full rundown of all the projects he's currently working on. If you're a retro-gaming fan, I'm sure you'll get just as excited as I did, hearing about everything that's coming this year!

Interview With Wizzo

Here's an interview with MiSTer script creator Callan, who you might know as Wizzo. I asked that he join me for a podcast, as I wanted to go over all the really helpful tools he's created. I'd be willing to bet every MiSTer user would be interested in at least ONE of his scripts, so give it a listen and decide for yourself! Support Wizzo: https://ko-fi.com/wizzo Wizzo's Scripts: https://github.com/wizzomafizzo/mrext To install the scripts, you can download them from his github and copy them right to your MiSTer's "scripts" folder. You can also enable his scripts via update_all, however not all will be available. As always, these long-form podcasts are also available as a video, with links on RetroRGB.com 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 this video can be found here: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/shop/retrorgb

I recently recorded an interview with Wendell from Level One Techs. This was a fun "nerdversation" that covered everything from budget PC builds to scrutinizing Thunderbolt specs.

Interview With TapamN - 480p Dreamcast Patches Solved!

I recently had the opportunity to talk with Alex, aka TapamN - The developer who did what many people in the retro scene thought was impossible: Patching certain 480i-only games to run in 480p! We discussed the discovery, as well as Dreamcast video output formats, resolutions, filters and how all might be able to be manipulated for our setups. This is an audio-only interview, however I have it on YouTube above for anyone who prefers - Everyone else can find it on all podcast services, by searching for "RetroRGB TapamN": Forum Thread: https://www.dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=16508List of 480p Patchable DC Games: https://consolemods.org/wiki/Dreamcast:List_of_VGA_Games_and_Patches This was an awesome conversation and I hope other dev's apply what was learned to other Dreamcast games! I'd love to see an open source database put together, that would allow ODE's to toggle 240 / 480p support, as well as de-dithering, anti-aliasing...basically, having a GUI interface to toggle these options would be amazing! ...and please don't discount the "240p" conversation! There's many people out there who own an amazing 15KHz-only CRT that would love to play some of these games in progressive scan. I'm really excited to see what comes next for Dreamcast fans!

Interview With MiSTeX Creator Hans Baier

I recently had a conversation with Hans Baier, a developer who's created a framework that allows the MiSTer FPGA project to be ported to different hardware platforms. Hans is approaching this in a way that will NOT fork or fracture MiSTer, but instead embrace it's current software. This work has the potential to increase both the project's longevity past the DE-10, as well as open up some pretty unique opportunities. Check it out for lots more info!

Interview: Introducing FGCOS (Alpha)

I recently sat down with Arturo Sanchez to discuss his latest project:  An “Optimized System” package, designed to significantly lower the latency of Windows operating systems.  This was obviously designed with the Fighting Game Community in mind, however this will lower the latency of any software, including software emulators.  While it’s still in the “alpha” state, it’s extremely promising and this “*OS Package” could be a game-changer for all eras of PC video games!
