So I have been on pre-order for a while now and I'm wondering if anyone else in here has also ordered this before? I have read a past post that said it can take up to a year. I have seen pi2scart but it seems like by the time I get everything to make it work it will cost just as much as the retrotink ultimate. I have purchased generic digital to analog devices before and have not been happy with the results. I have also used the composite cables for the raspberry pi. Any advice is appreciated. Really want to get my raspberry pi looking as great as possible on my CRT.
I mean it ain't no Corprophagist but I gave a shot, all I need is a synth! I'm trying to a project running that sounds like the album bcs that record is fucking mental. (also sorry if this is very off-topic)
ANYWAYS, here a fun little song about getting munted on Christmas!
Hope you guys enjoy!

Yeah I'm kinda late
Serponge is back with a sequel to CastleMania. What do you think about it?
I don't mind the wait, just curious if I should be contacting them about it, or if this is the norm in terms of how long it takes for shipping to start.
I am going to try this again as last time i did someone was able to help me find warm slime.
Castlemania is the last album of theirs i am missing that i need. I can't find it anywhere for a reasonable price. Anyone got any ideas?
i know this is a long shot but i thought i'd at least try. :)
Hey, has anyone had any castlemania orders that have shipped recently? I ordered 2 of em a couple weeks ago and I've emailed them a couple times with no response
There is hope my patient friends! I placed a preorder at Castlemania Games for the 21 pin Fenrir on April 7, and it shipped this week. ETA is August 23rd.
Favorite track?
CRTPi Project Presents:
#CRTPi-RetroTINK v3.1C - Castlemania Launch Edition A CRTPi image for running 240p via the RetroTINK Ultimate
This is a special version of my RGB image, catered specifically to users of the RetroTINK ultimate who'd like a more "consolized" experience. This aims to take almost all the guesswork out of installing Retropie so you can get right to playing games. Of course, it's always good to know a little about Retropie to begin with, so I suggest all new users read this Wiki dedicated to setting up RetroPie. As always, I am here to answer any questions you may have and help you get your dream setup going!
Where Can I Get It?
You can download a premade image from Google Drive:
> NOTE: Your first boot will take roughly 2-3 minutes, and you will see your Pi reboot at least once. There will be little to no text. Once you see the SMPTE color bars, you're almost there.

I don’t see a reason why CastleMania would be out of the Castle Gauntlet, unless Rob has some bad blood with Serponge.
I paid for a item in stock item two weeks ago and the online order status shows it hasn’t shipped. I’ve emailed them numerous times over the last week and have received no responses and I made sure no emails are going to my junk mail. I can find no contact phone number. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I appreciate any input, thanks!
I received an order from them about a week ago, and it was mostly correct, but instead of getting the saturn to genesis 2 adaptor, I got the ps1/2 to genesis 2 adaptor, which are the same price on the website.
I have a ticket posted on their site... i am not sure the order number on that ticket is correct but it is all linked to my PayPal. I haven't gotten any contact back and I am trying to avoid this getting to 30 days. Is this normal? Does anyone have a way of me getting in touch with them?
Thank you
Haha what the hell was In the Red doing? Label on the front says 45rpm but the record is actually 33 so I always hear the first 20 seconds like some chipmunk shit. Then the second disc is actually 45rpm so I'm always like damn this is a weird ass version of I Won't Hurt You until I realize what's up.
Ive been an avid Oh Sees listener for years. And I have consistently avoided castlemania, don’t really know why. Now especially, I am asking myself this question of why I didn’t peep it sooner because it is slowly becoming my favorite album in the whole discography.
Holy shit, this is a fuckin gem. I honestly don’t think I could’ve appreciated fully if I never gouged myself on Dwyer’s other works for the past few years. This feels like a whole new mode of Oh Sees, like when Face Stabber came around.
Fav songs:
I need seed, Stinking cloud, Corrupted coffin, A Wall, A Century 2, The Whipping Continues (“SATs on LSD”, hahaha), If I Stay Too Long
So yeah, basically the whole album. “I won’t hurt you” is so unlike Dwyer I had to check my phone to see if the album was still running. Amazing
The Triad WSU-series power supplies are often recommended as a high-quality modern, more efficient replacement for the original power supplies of consoles like the NES/Famicom, Super Famicom, model 1 Genesis/MD, original PC Engine, and several others that all have similar power requirements. I use them myself and have recommended them many times. Their reputation has grown within the community to an extent that certain retro gaming retailers have begun stocking them on their storefronts.
Unfortunately, it turns out that CastleMania Games is selling the wrong version of this power supply. They're selling the WSU090-1300, which uses center positive polarity and is incorrect for retro consoles. The one you should buy is the WSU090-1300-R, which has center negative polarity. Using a power supply with the wrong polarity will in the best case simply not work, or in the worst case can destroy your console.
The product page on CastleMania's website does not make this clear, with only a vague mention of "appropriate adapters" for some consoles. Yes, the WSU090-1300 will work with a reverse polarity adapter, but there's no good reason to be selling a power supply with the wrong polarity in the first place, not when the WSU090-1300-R exists, and especially if they're not bundling a reverse polarity adapter with every sale. It creates the danger of the user not realizing or forgetting that an adapter is required and causing serious damage to their valuable vintage hardware.
The correct power supply is available from Digi-Key, Mouser, and Console5.
