Interview with Shiro! Magazine Creators

After receiving the 1st issue of the Sega Saturn "fanzine" Shiro! Magazine, I absolutely HAD to talk to the creators. While I've done some podcasts with the crew before, I was so blown away by the quality and authenticity of it, that I really wanted to hear the story behind it. If you're even slightly interested in retro-themed magazines, the Sega Saturn and good dev stories, definitely listen to this one!

Discussing Clone Companies with a Lawyer

I had the pleasure of talking with Keith Cooper, partner at Morrison Rothman LLP about cloning.  It was great to speak with someone who has direct experience fighting cloners and Keith did a great job breaking down what we all need to know.  Hopefully we can use this knowledge to take steps towards stopping cloners and protecting our work!!!  As usual, these long-form podcasts are available as a video and audio-only.  Links are on the main page here:  https://www.retrorgb.com/discussing-clone-companies-with-a-lawyer.html 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 One quick note from Keith:  "In regard to the alter ego liability discussion, potential defendants could be sued directly for things like fraud/misrep (i.e. a plaintiff would not have to pierce the corporate veil to sue them)."

Interview With: Chilly Willy

Here's an interview with Joseph Fenton, better known in the Genesis / 32x / Sega CD homebrew world as "Chilly Willy"!  Unfortunately, we were plagued by connection issues, but I managed to stitch the conversation together well enough and I think it came out okay. Either way, I still had a blast and it was great to finally meet such an influential member of the homebrew scene that I've been following for a long time!  As usual, these long-form podcasts are available as a video and audio-only.  Links are on the main page here:  https://www.retrorgb.com/interview-with-chilly-willy.html Spritemind Forum:  http://gendev.spritesmind.net/forum/ 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

Retro World Expo Podcast Roundup (Pt2)

Here's part 2 of the compilation podcast featuring some of the awesome guests of Retro World Expo.  While the chats were equally as fun as pt1, nature and battery life started to take it's toll:  The sky blackened and we were getting tornado warnings on our phone, my lav mic cut out during the end of Dustin's interview, then the second lav cut out at the end of the chat with Chris, leaving just the boom mic.  Also, I'd been recording from about 10:30AM till 7PM, so I was getting a bit loopy.  LOL, so, basically, it's exactly as if you slid over a chair and were there hanging out with us, technical issues and all!  I really hope you enjoy these regardless of audio issues and get to know these awesome guests a bit more!  Links to everyone below, or check out the main link here:  https://www.retrorgb.com/retro-world-expo-podcast-roundup-pt2.html 01:28  Greg:  https://www.laserbear.net/ 33:00  Todd:  https://www.patreon.com/retrofrog 50:58  Dustin:  https://www.retrorgb.com/32x-version-of-the-240p-test-suite-released.html 58:27  Chris:  https://www.patreon.com/displacedgamers 1:10:32  Esteban:  https://twitter.com/arcadebrooklyn 1:23:39  Dan:  https://www.pixelfx.co/ 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

Retro World Expo Podcast Roundup (Pt1)

Over the weekend of August 2022, I had the privilege of meeting up with a bunch of awesome people at Retro World Expo.  I decided to set up a "podcast station" (with the help of My Life In Gaming) and have a chat with many of the awesome people from the retro gaming scene.  The goal was to compile all the conversations together in chronological order, so people who weren't able to attend can feel like they were there hanging out with us as the day (and crazy weather!) went on.  I sadly wasn't able to get to everyone, but there's some awesome people here!  Links to everyone below, or check out the main link here:  https://www.retrorgb.com/retro-world-expo-podcast-roundup-pt1.html 02:10 Mason Conrad:  https://twitter.com/MasNConrad 13:22 Justin:  https://www.youtube.com/c/ConsoleKits 41:53 Ryan:  https://castlemaniagames.com 1:00:35 Shank:  https://www.youtube.com/c/ShankMods 1:17:52 Nicole:  https://www.patreon.com/nicole_express 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

Talking Vinyl with Patrick from Sega Saturn Shiro!

I recently had a fun chat with Pat from the Shiro! crew to discuss vinyl records.  While this topic (and cassettes) really need a deep-dive video to prove the points we made, I thoroughly enjoyed the technical speculation, as well as just sharing our thoughts on the format.  It doesn't matter if you're a fan of video game music, or just music in general, if you were curious why people are talking about vinyl again, this is a great start!  As always, these long-from chats are also available on YouTube.  Check the main post for a link, as well as some other fun stuff Pat passed along:  https://www.retrorgb.com/talking-vinyl-with-patrick-from-sega-saturn-shiro.html Pat's recommended setup*: Amp: https://amzn.to/3S78zIP Record Player:  https://amzn.to/3vaNXVX Headshell:  https://amzn.to/3v9GO8j Phono Pre-Amp:  https://www.mofielectronics.com/studiophono-phonostage Speakers (UNshielded):  https://amzn.to/3zpNZvz My (much cheaper ;p) recommended setup*: Amp (comes with good phono pre-amp):  https://amzn.to/3742YzY Record Player (comes with a great headshell):  https://amzn.to/3J5V3B2 UNshielded Speaker - ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2:  https://amzn.to/3jv2g1f Shielded Speaker (If you're near CRT's) - Ascend Acoustics CBM-170 SE:  http://www.ascendacoustics.com/pages/products/speakers/cbm170/cbm170.html Record Cleaner (this thing is amazing):  https://amzn.to/3cB2kfU *as we said in the podcast, if you're on a budget, get anything.  You don't need to spend a lot unless you're 100% sure that music is as important to you as it is to us.  If you get an old, beat up turntable, just make sure to get a new cartridge with needle.  This is NOT necessary with new stuff, but you don't want some beat, old player to ruin your records.  Here's a 3-pack for $12 that should be safe:  https://amzn.to/3OwbE1M 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
