What Is the RetroRGB Weekly Roundup?

The RetroRGB Weekly Roundup is RetroRGB's recurring news digest, published as both a video and an audio-only podcast. Each installment collects the week's retro gaming hardware news into a single episode, and it's distributed through video platforms plus podcast services such as iTunes, Google, Stitcher, Spotify, and Amazon. If you want a periodic summary of retro hardware developments rather than reading individual posts, the Roundup is the format to follow.

What each episode contains

The Roundup is a summary format, not a single-topic article. Based on how RetroRGB presents it, an episode aggregates the notable items from that week — product announcements, community projects, and hardware releases — and presents them together. The site's own description of Roundup #533 lists it as available "as a video and on all audio-only podcast services," which tells you the content is identical across formats; you pick the one that fits how you consume media.

Individual stories that appear in a given week also run as standalone posts on the site. Recent examples from the same period give a sense of the subject matter:

• A Sega Saturn–themed MiSTer FPGA kit called "Mercury," a complete kit (excluding the DE-10 Nano) that is also compatible with the MiSTer Pi.
• A zero-lag HDMI to YPbPr component video adapter supporting 240p, 480i, 480p and above.
• A full teardown of Modretro's open-source, FPGA-based Nintendo 64, the "M64."
• A new release of the Super ZSNES emulator adding Apple and Android TV support.

The Roundup is where items like these get bundled into one weekly episode.

How to get it

Each Roundup post includes a video link, and the same episode is published to the audio-only podcast services listed above. If you already use one of those podcast apps, you can subscribe there and receive new episodes without visiting the site.

Who produces it

The Roundup is hosted by Bob, who runs RetroRGB and authors the site's posts. It's a regular, numbered series — the numbering (for example, #533) makes it easy to tell how long the feature has been running and to check whether you've missed an episode.

When to use the Roundup vs. individual posts

• Follow the Roundup if you want a periodic catch-up and don't need every story the moment it's posted.
• Read individual posts if a specific topic matters to you — for example, a particular FPGA kit, adapter, or emulator release — since those get their own full write-ups with more detail than a roundup segment can carry.
• Use the audio feed if you'd rather listen while doing something else; the content matches the video version.

One practical note: because the Roundup is a digest, details in any single segment are necessarily brief. When a Roundup item is relevant to a purchase or a build decision, follow the link to the standalone post or the original source before acting on it.
