Todd Gill - Retro Frog

Announcement: The Retro Frog website is back! Well, it was never gone, but it's had a facelift and new products added to it. Everything from the Etsy shop is there (and the Etsy shop is no more) and I added the Nintendo Switch Stand as well! Please give this a like and repost! retrofrog.net

My #NeoGeo port of Cho Ren Sha 68k. Recorded from my MVS board. Goes through power up, eye catcher, title screen and gameplay. I've massively optimized the x68000 original to run fantastically on the Neo Geo.

Did my part for Democracy.

The Table is Not The Limit - Busting the supposed "380 sprite" limit of the #NeoGeo Presented in demoscene style This is captured from real hardware and no extra hardware accelerating. I'll release it as a download to try on your flashcart soon.

Cho Ren Sha 68k port to the #NeoGeo One of the many updates I am making to it is multiple display modes. Supports Yoko and both cw and ccw Tate modes. Other options include: CRT Overscan setting, Turbo fire, MVS coin mode (and dip switches) and saving to mem card/backup ram.

Watch me (poorly) play my Cho Ren Sha 68k port to the #NeoGeo Such a great X68000 shooter. I miss my XVI machine.

Updated vertical stand for the RetroTink 4k/CE/6X that now supports both remote sizes. This has been requested ever since the CE model was introduced, so I picked up a 6X and updated the stand to support both remotes. Grab one here: retrofrog.net/products/ret...

Working on a possible bonus stage area for Neon Gyre on the #NeoGeo And yes, this is captured from real hardware.

the #NeoGeo WIP of Neon Gyre. Now has a shit talking sentient protagonist.

Work in progress of the #NeoGeo version of Neon Gyre. Placeholder music for now. I am considering developing this out into a full game supporting 2 players, joystick or rotary controls and lots of over the top action. Interest in a physical cartridge release?

Announcement: I am discontinuing (and have zero'd out) ALL MiSTer FPGA related products going forward due to a disagreement with someone in the community. If you have an existing order for something, it will ship. Just nothing else.

YO, homes, I heard you like spinner controllers. I have designed a rotary/paddle controller for the Sega #MasterSystem. Works with Neon Gyre 88 (acts like the Sports Pad) and all the actual paddle games. And it's gonna be open source so you can build your own. UR welcome.

I am considering doing an upgraded version of my Neon Gyre for the #NeoGeo console. Any interest in a high powered Tempest 2000 inspired shooter for the Neo? Will support joystick and of course the rotary controller. This is gameplay video of the latest Master System build

PicoPak for #MasterSystem gets REWIND! World's first real hardware Rewind in a flashcart. No one else does it anywhere for any console. Give this a like and repost if you want to see this same thing brought to the PCEngine and TurboGrafx16.

Doing some Sunday garage organizing. Went to Home Depot for some new shelving.

Announcing Neon Gyre 88 for the Sega #MasterSystem. It's a tribute to Tempest and exclusively playable on the upcoming SMS PicoPak flashcart leveraging it's coprocessor enhancement. Will be available for free to download with dev docs. This is a WIP with placeholder music.

PicoPak for #MasterSystem also has a built in VGM music player with visualizers. It's always annoyed me that more flashcarts don't bother with this or required kinda crappy thirdparty roms to do it. Not so with PicoPak! It's built right in. And it's damn good.

R U A FILTHY CHEATER?? Well, with PicoPak for the #MasterSystem you can totally cheat and not even break a sweat. And it saves the cheats to a text file on the sd card so next time they are memorized for your convenience. Level up ur cheatin' with PicoPak for Master System!

Are you interested in more details about my Master System (or Colecovision) flashcarts? You can join my Discord and follow along as I post more updates and details there before social media. Plus you can make suggestions and provide direct feedback! discord.gg/h2Nqva37rq

I hope your Sega Master System is ready. PicoPak is coming. #MasterSystem In this first look video, I talk about my save state implementation. Lots more later on as there is a hell of a lot to cover. This is just the tip of the iceberg. RETROFROG DOES.

NEW EPISODE! Let's check out Capcom's CPS-1 arcade hardware and all of the games they made for it... oh and maybe the CPS "1.5" as well! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9o2a...

USB4NEO is available again to preorder. Starts shipping in late October. Use USB controllers with your #NeoGeo retrofrog.net/products/usb...

Just grabbed Razing core by @badcomputer.bsky.social Awesome shmup for the SMS! I am completely blown away by what indie devs have squeezed out of the Master System.

Well, I've spent time writing custom diagnostic tools and have done EVEN MORE testing. Situation isn't as dire as I initially thought, but there are still problems. Read more here: dreamcast-talk.com/forum/viewto...

PicoPak for #Colecovision now has Joystick as paddle for the #MSX Arkanoid. Normally it only supports keyboard and the Vaus paddle controller so I replicated the paddle controls and mapped them over to the joystick and provided a menu option to toggle it.

In my pursuit of making the very best #Colecovision flashcart on the market, here is a new update video. QOL improvements, fixes and enhancement especially to the #MSX experience (in game menu with cpu turbo option, low latency enhancements and etc) www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-lC...

Have a #Colecovision and Super Game Module? With #PicoPak you can also now play all the wonderful MSX1 games. All the #MSX AY audio is reproduced faithfully by the AY chip in the SGM. Your Colecovision game library just got a lot bigger! SCC Audio is still a work in progress.

Video showcasing Sega SG-1000 games played directly on the #Colecovision courtesy of PicoPak. Enjoy the entire library including all those Taiwan bootleg games that require the 8KB ram addon (both ram expansions supported). youtu.be/ORQKg-Be41A

So apparently publicly buying voters is a-ok now. Fucking hell.

Quick video of my PicoPak for Colecovision playing Wizard of Wor. This is the largest available downloadable game image for the Colecovision at 512KB (and requires a Super Game Module). youtu.be/l3s1ViOTJKg

Razing Core for SEGA Master System is now available. The full version and demo are here: badcomputer0.itch.io/razing-core

I’ve got the fucking Inspector Gadget theme song stuck in my head. Send help pls.

SG-1000 games now work on the #Colecovision thanks to PicoPak CV. No conversions required. Will add support to run Sord M5 games (along with a couple other similar spec hardware) and finally MSX 1 games with an attached Super Game Module. PicoPak is gonna be 🔥

I need to try this sometime.

Can't wait to check this out!

Big update on my #Colecovision flashcart project! New name, new menu system. All awesome. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQ3D...

I decided to build something for about 50 people on the planet, maybe less... www.amigalove.com/viewtopic.ph... It's a chess variant game on the C128 in GEOS. Yes. You read that right. And if you are one of ~10 people that has a SuperCPU 128? It'll be about 10x a better engine (2mhz vs 20mhz).

Wow!!
