Retro Resolutions: Recent Episodes
Dylan & Matt
A retro games podcast. Each episode Dylan and Matt cover a different topic in retro games; CRTs, emulators, FPGAs, filters, and much more retro game-adjacent topics will be discussed.
Dylan and Matt are back to talk about what's been up so far this year, and new tech they're looking forward to for 2025!
It's been a long year, sorry for the gap! Some big personal stuff got in the way of getting new episodes out, so we're gunna have to consider that time and the episodes we recorded since then as "lost episodes". Welcome back!
hey folks, I (Dylan) lost several episodes worth of recordings in between our last episode and one the one posting tomorrow morning. Sorry about that!
Dylan & Matt are joined by a special guest for the first time! We welcome Jaime on to discuss our love for the Nintendo GameCube, everyone's favorite cult-classic packed lunchbox.
First time using a full-web experience to record, produce, and publish this episode where Matt and Dylan talk about the regrets they have with retro games. Hopefully it all sounds good on the other side!
Matt & Dylan take a casual 2 hours to compile their list of the top 10 "Official" handheld game systems.
We recorded this around Matt's birthday, so we talked about his chosen year in video games: 1977
Finally uploading our Part 2 of the Top Ten Consoles ranking. Sorry folks! It's been hard to find time to edit these with the scrutiny I prefer. So instead I'm just kinda checking beginnings and endings and uploading them pretty raw. We're still having a blast recording them, and that's what's important to us. So I'll just be throwing this backlog up.
Matt & Dylan start building a Top 10 list of retro consoles. In part 2 they will sort the list.
Dylan & Matt discuss console hardware mods including GameCube Picoboot, DCDigital, and softmods like Tonyhax on PS1/2 and Wii hacking.
