Tim – Spectrum Next KS3 update email has gone out for backers to update their contact details and addresses ready for delivery. Looks like the KS3 is getting ready for shipping real soon. 

Tim – Vectrex Mini – Delayed! - The ESP32-P4 module at the heart of the Vectrex Mini motherboard has been discontinued. This means a new version is not being released until October, holding up final production boards. However, the delay will be mitigated by a new design to include the processor, and the components responsible for functions including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi will be integrated directly onto our own motherboard. Shipping should start in December 2026.

Tim – From Modretro the makers of the M64 comes the M64 AV Adapter. Designed for the HDMI output on the M64 that would allow you to plug the HDMI from the M64 into this adapter and then output to CRTs via the connections on the AV Adapter. Not confirmed yet, but this could likely work with any HDMI input and output to common CRT connection formats. (Thanks to Retro RBG)
