Both my TVs updated to the new @plex.tv UI and I honestly find it unusable. The performance is just so sluggish, and removing some buttons/features was certainly a choice. At least since it's android I could uninstall it and side load the old version, I wonder if they did any user/perf testing.

One of my all time favourite games from back in the day is free on Epic right now! Highly recommend checking it out if you're into old-school cyberpunk sci-fi horror FPS/RPGs store.epicgames.com/p/system-sho...

If you like the NES Castlevania, you can get it for free on your mobile device (Search your app store for "Castlevania 40th anniversary" by Konami to find it). I'm psyched, still have the original NES cartridge!

Any tips on sourcing some decently priced hardware? My laptop, mini PC, and HDD enclosure all died last month. At least the latter was under warranty, so a replacement is en route! I found a refurb small form factor PC too, but it's older and costs more than the mini PC I'm replacing was new.

So it turns out you can use the Tony Hawk games to softmod pretty much all gen 6 consoles (plus the 360). Thanks to one of my viewers for bringing it to my attention! If you're curious how to do it, check out the tutorial here: youtu.be/GDIFe6guHFw

I really hate that Amazon turned a whole bunch of kindles into (essentially) paperweights/e-Waste. So I decided to try my hand at bringing one back to life 16 years after it was released. Check it out if you're interested: youtu.be/-xr_mbcfAco

Bad news for Canadians: www.iphoneincanada.ca/2026/06/19/f... Hopefully the senate is sane enough to push back on this absolute failure of our government.

Tried out the Star Fox demo and it definitely feels like Star Fox. I was never big on the series, so I might not get it, but I could definitely see the appeal if you're a fan.

I know it can be hard to grow an audience on social media, especially when people seem to be yelling into the void. As someone with a lot of interests, I'm always looking for new things to follow, so feel free to comment on this post and I'll check out your page!

Looking forward to seeing what happens next. www.thegamer.com/stop-killing...

Good news and bad news. Good news: Finished the project I've been excited about and have the whole thing recorded! Bad news: Gonna delay putting out the video by at least a week because I'm not going to be able to get the editing done by Tuesday.

I finally picked up a CRT TV that's in generally good shape. Looks like the Dreamcast and NES light gun games can live again! If only I had somewhere to put the TV though. Well, one thing at a time.

Since I'm still waiting on parts / having issues with some suppliers, I decided to do a quick and useful project for #Dreamcast fans. Check it out if you're interested: youtu.be/P0rWrsIgu_w

That urge to play retro games didn't let up, so I ended up setting up Batocera with NES/SNES/N64/GB/GBC/GBA/PSX/PSP/Dreamcast and made a tutorial video in case anyone wanted to do the same. Check it out if you're interested: youtu.be/FwEpxx5VMEc

Any recommendations for good retro games? I feel like playing something from the Dreamcast or earlier days

I finally installed PicoLoader in a #GameCube to boot Swiss instantly (no discs, save exploits, or permanent mods needed). Check it out if you're interested: youtu.be/cYWa9UjWpQw #Retrogaming #modding

Happy new year 2026! I decided to start the year off by finishing a playthrough for one of my favourite #SNES games: Donkey Kong Country. Check it out here: youtu.be/z87ZfwNLTTA if you're interested (part 1 is on my channel if you missed it). #dkc #letsplay

Happy Holidays everyone, whatever you happen to celebrate, I hope you're all taking a bit of time for yourselves to rest and get ready for the new year!

Since I've still been waiting for parts and things to arrive, I decided to tackle a little refurb project that's been sitting on the sidelines for a few months. If you're interested, check it out here: youtu.be/cAf7rPGFoPQ

I was in the mood to revisit one of my favourite games, Donkey Kong Country, so if you feel like it, come along for a bit: youtu.be/SjrRxdGX70s

In case you missed this week's project, I revisited my old #N64 to USB adapter (using a raspberry pi pico) and did it a bit better this time. See the full vid here: youtu.be/lr_QrienDxs

And the hits just keep on coming: My multimeter's shot. Can anyone recommend a decent one? Preferably budget-friendly, but I'll go for better quality vs price if it means I won't need to replace it as soon.

Bought a Wii online and it had locked parental controls, so I made this video for anyone in a similar boat: youtu.be/4MmLsrQCzTs

So turns out my main video storage/editing hard drive failed and I've lost whatever content I hadn't backed up. Couple that with the Canada Post strike and all the components I've ordered are in mail limbo. Hopefully I can pick up a new drive and get back to creating before the end of the month

Anyone know where I can find a reasonably small, colour CRT TV? I really wanna play some Duck Hunt.

In case you missed it on Tuesday, my new vid is up and I'm back to modding that secondhand #GameCube I picked up. This time, with a Noctua Fan. Check it out youtu.be/vGHaHg82WV0 if you're interested!

Tomorrow I'll be posting a new vid with a simple GameCube mod, tune in around noon (ET) to check it out @ www.youtube.com/@DMSCreates!

Life's been pretty crazy lately, so I forgot to post my most recent video! This one's a little different than some of my other stuff: youtu.be/_0u-biPSjGI I've got another video coming out on the 2nd (back to my #modding and #gaming content)

Happy 42nd anniversary (at least, for the Japanese release date) to my very first console, the NES! I absolutely adored that console (Super Mario 1,2, and 3. Duck hunt, Mega Man 2, and so many other titles with massive nostalgia for me). What's your go-to NES game?

New 3D printed model available! Display stand sfor 8BitDo SN30, Nintendo Switch Online, and original wired SNES controllers. Includes slots for SNES and USB dongles. Available in both single and double controller styles. Retweets are GREATLY appreciated!

Once again, it's the first Tuesday of the month so a new vid is dropping! I finally decided to stop using AA batteries in my N64 rumble paks. If you're curious how to do the same mod, check out the vid: youtu.be/sUxY-bk55ts

Anyone here still playing Game Boy (regular, color, and advance) games? What are your go-tos? #retrogaming

It's the first Tuesday of the month, time for a new video! I wanted to fix my copy of #pokemon yellow after I noticed the save file was gone and it wouldn't keep a new save, so here's that: youtu.be/i-xS5KHjiJ4 hopefully it helps if you've also got a #gameboy, #gbc, or #gba game that's not saving

Anyone got recs for some good, lesser known NES games to revisit? I'm in the mood for a retro night and I'm queuing up Power Blade, Terra Cresta, and I could use a third. #retrogaming #nes

Finally decided it was time to replace my OEM #n64 control stick. It had a good loooooooong run, but lost too much range of motion from plastic wearing itself down. So I grabbed a new stick module, swapped it, and recorded the whole thing. Check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsL5...

May the Fourth be with you! Happy #StarWars day all!

Playing the first #Metroid Prime game today on my #GCN reminds me how far we've come with #FPS controls on consoles. It also reminds me how good #gamedevs were to make clunky (by today's standards) controls still feel smooth and intuitive after a brief adjustment period.

Reminder for my Canadian peers, it's election day! Please try to make some time to get out and hit the polls.

Does anyone know where to find a wiring diagram for an #N64 Rumble Pak? My two originals are having issues and I'm noticing differences in connectivity (broken traces and such) between them but can't find a reference doc to help me repair them.

If you've got an #N64 chances are all your old saves (that relied on batteries) are gone by now. I jumped into this project without doing all the prep work I should've, ran into some roadblocks, and decided to publish it anyway youtu.be/l03P37Xv96Y

Was feeling a bit nostalgic, so I went through my #GameBoy / #GBA game collection today and for the life of me I can't find my favourite GBA game (Final Fantasy Tactics Advance). It must have gotten lost in a move. Well that sucks.
