Happy Fabio Getting Hit in the Face by a Goose Day for those who celebrate

The 5X-Y-Z SCART rotate and flip adapter is now out of stock. It will probably be a few weeks (3-5) before it is back in stock. Thank you!

NO MORE STORAGE UNITS.

Looking at the new LGR warehouse workshop storage building thing! Going over what's been done, what comes next, and how I plan to use it for the channel going forward. Thank you so much for your ongoing support, y'all have made this possible!

They will function safely on the proper source (e.g. the 5V USB C output), but because analog AV is connected between these two devices they should have their own power supplies or the current return can go through the scaler. In order words: You may get minor audio buzz.

I don’t currently have a mechanism for that, I’ll look into it.

Yes that includes the OSSC.

I’m hoping to have EU and/or UK distributors but nothing inked yet. I do currently offer lower cost ($20-30) shipping to Europe.

I am considering doing bundles, nothing final on that yet

I only have a Jurassic Park Jeep not a Delorean time machine, sorry.

Probably because time is linear

That should read spring / summer 2026*

I will not be taking pre-orders, but this will not be a limited run. Even if the first batch sells out there are no plans to end production.

Thank you my friends! Please repost and help spread the news!

Also available are heavy-duty 18 awg stranded copper DC power cables available in 2 m (6.5 ft) and 4 m (13 ft) lengths. The power cables are built with custom molded barrel plugs built for durability.

In addition, I also decided to seek third-party conformity testing. The RetroTap successfully passed testing for FCC, CE, and UKCA compliance by an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory.

Why the delay? I don't like excuses so here are some excuses! 2025 tariffs were extremely disruptive to the development, then as things began to settle I acquired
@retro-access.com, restarting that business was a monumental undertaking. I also have a day job and other commitments.

DC power cables and adapters are available now, however the planned release for the RetroTap distribution block itself is around late Spring / early Summer 2025 (for real this time).

The USB-C port is for output only, it can be used to charge controllers and accessories, or power a MiSTer FPGA.

Integrated LC filtering and overcurrent protection delivers safe, ultra-low ripple, stable power for original hardware. A single RetroTap powers up to 11 retro gaming consoles from one power supply, all housed within a premium injection-molded enclosure shell.

Introducing the RetroTap power distribution system for retro consoles.

RetroTap replaces the tangled mess of aging, bulky wall warts with a modern central power solution engineered for simplicity and exceptionally low ripple.

/1

19 years ago AVGN by Cinemassacre raged about these obnoxious wall warts.

A solution is finally coming.

The PCE LT is one of the rare cases of an unsupported console of that era unfortunately. It's still possible to use it with the RetroTap with a 4.8x1.7mm to 3.5x1.35mm adapter, but not something that I would have "off the shelf".

The original timeline stretched, but the RetroTap reveal and release timeline announcement is TOMORROW!

Stay tuned, an update on the RetroTap power distribution system is happening this week.

A new “PVM” arrived today.

The S702N was used in the back seat of the Jurassic Park Ford Explorer tour vehicle.

0402 is a fun size to work with

I’m working on an Explorer replica next
