Retrorgb Weekly Roundup

Here's an interview with the creator of the 129x and 68x "homebrew" input cards for Sony BVM/PVM monitors.  Anyone who's into retro CRT monitors has probably heard Martin's name quite a few times over the past few years and it was an absolute pleasure to interview him.  As usual, it's a very laid back conversation about beer, our travels...and of course, how Martin was able to reverse engineer the 68x, after it was deemed "impossible".

Roarke, friend and fellow creator in the retro gaming scene was recently in a horrific car accident, that's left him in the hospital for over a month.  In true bad-ass fashion, he's been recovering and is able to stand...even though there was talk of amputation, or him not making it at all.  I wanted to livestream with him to hear his story, catch up and see what's next!

Today, I’m joined by René from db Electronics, Tianfeng and Rattboi to discuss the implementations and uses of open source hardware and software.  All of us are huge fans of open source and have participated (and created) many open projects in the scene.  While most of our discussion will be focused on the positivity of open source, we’ll also be addressing some of the misconceptions and more complicated topics of what’s “open”, what’s “freeware” and what’s theft. https://twitter.com/db_himself https://twitter.com/Tian_Feng44 https://twitter.com/rattboi This podcast is also available as a video.  More information in the main post:  https://www.retrorgb.com/open-source-roundtable-discussion.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.ht
