GBS-8200, GBS-8220, HD 9800 and HD 9820 Add-on Important Update This page is very out of date now, please look at GBS-Control by rama. Here’s some of the main links for it… GitHub Shmups Forum Post GBS-C AIO Old Guide I really wanted to make a plug and play solution […]
At the end of this post, I will add a copy of my original guide where I use the common method of fitting two switches. I wanted to try the single switch mod that I found here. It’s a very tidy solution, and a brilliant guide, so I’m not going to […]
To improve the look of retro games on LCD TVs you may like to try Scanlines. It’s beyond me to be able to explain them, and there’s already the perfect guide on the web for it. I found out about Scanlines when I learnt about different scalers, I then discovered you can […]

Since I started messing with SNES cart modifications I couldn’t resist this project, I wanted to convert a Japanese Super Famicom Mother 2 cart into an English Earthbound game. I guess I might be criticised for passing on information on how to make a fake Earthbound cart. Earthbound isn’t a […]
