So this begs the question.. What is the best way to get a clean signal that can be easily upscaled by something like the #retrotink without emulation?

[Redherring32 @redherring32]

@_TheLongDefeat The NES PPU generates a composite video signal internally, there's no way to tap into anything else.

NESRGB works by reimplementing some of the PPU die's logic to generate RGB.

Reimplemented logic = emulation in my books. (Many people aren't this strict in definition)

Do you remember Garbage Pail Kids? A trading card sensation from the #1980s that was so popular it got a MOVIE. That movie is SO bad it's considered one of the worst #hollywood movie of all times (Google it!) Here's some brand new 2022 #gpk action. Should I do an #unboxing video?

I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of gum. #duke3d #dukenukem #dukenukem

Now playing in 1996! On this glorious day back then, Apogee (using a marketing label we do not use anymore, "3D Realms") released the shareware version 1.0 of Duke Nukem 3D. And strangely this little indie game still seems to have a following to this day. Hail to the King, baby!

@eevblog I need to find the old service (or any manual) for the T1000XE, really similar model

[Selena the Retro-Princess @SuperZvesda]

I got the COOLEST accessory for my Virtual Boy. Not enough people are aware of this, so I had to make a video to demonstrate what it can do!
We need way more of this kind of thing!

[*Retro Rob* @RobNeedsAJob]

Maybe @TMFanSupport can help

[*Retro Rob* @RobNeedsAJob]

OK this is a bit frustrating.. I bought a ticket for @ClerksMovie @ThatKevinSmith back in July for Grand Rapids. On the receipt it says Official Platinum but nowhere does anything say what it means. I'm sure I read it before purchasing. @LiveNation anyone have that info?

[*Retro Rob* @RobNeedsAJob]

This makes me very happy! So good to see you all together again. @TheBillyWest

If you are trying to PRESERVE cartridge based games, don't use anything except this proven method. Also Please don't BLOW on your NES games. I am tired of cleaning up 30 year old cheeto crumbs.

[Retro Repair Corner @cliffsrepaircor]

As you can see taking a little bit of time and effort really does pay off never use brazo that will destroy your cartridges and your systems use the high polymer eraser and 99 proof alcohol. And then most importantly do not touch the golden fingers once you're done cleaning them

[*Retro Rob* @RobNeedsAJob]

@vilrosusa Thank you! Big fan, I've ordered a ton of #raspberrypi and #raspberrypizero stuff from your company.

[*Retro Rob* @RobNeedsAJob]

@GeekMomProjects @jasoncoon_ I thought I had an led problem with a 56 led project... until I started following your accounts. Now I know I'm in good company! #led #adafruit #neopixel

@ATTBusinessCare @ATT Hey @SpaceXStarlink you have business plans now I hear. Let's do some things together. 500mb/s sounds fantastic.

[*Retro Rob* @RobNeedsAJob]

@comcastbusiness I'm reaching out this way as I am getting nowhere on the phone. For a business internet account with static IP addresses I need a PTR record created. Any assistance is appreciated.

[*Retro Rob* @RobNeedsAJob]

@ATTBusinessCare Nice try @ATT we already have AT&T for our backup and you can only deliver a 25mb connection. When you can (actually) bring me 300mb/s fiber (you can't) I'd love to talk.

[*Retro Rob* @RobNeedsAJob]

So similar to the T1000Xe I had

[OldTechAdverts @OldTechAdverts]

Toshiba T1100 is a iconic machine. I love the form factor.

There's a guy who has a fictional movie store in his house as part of an art installation @BerekNordin #killertofu @TheBillyWest #dougfunnie I think it's perfect! Thanks Berek!

[*Retro Rob* @RobNeedsAJob]
