Hey there, welcome back to GenXGrownUp — I’m George, and this is Bit By Bit! Nintendo is at it again, this time going after a Reddit moderator with a massive $4.5 million piracy claim. The mod allegedly helped spread Nintendo Switch game files and ignored the lawsuit — and now the company wants to make a very expensive example out of him. But that’s not the only retro gaming news this week! Namco is bringing back history with its very first in-house arcade game — designed by none other than the creator of Pac-Man himself — as part of the latest Arcade Archives release. And to top it off, the MAME emulator just got a big update, now supporting ARM-based Windows devices, which could open the door for smoother emulation on handheld PCs and future retro handhelds. It’s a big week for retro gaming, legal drama, and emulation evolution — let’s dig into it! ?

Atari just dropped a surprise for retro gamers — brand-new physical cartridges for the Atari 7800 in 2025! That’s right, officially licensed Bandai Namco classics like Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug, and Xevious are hitting shelves again for the 7800 and 7800+. But is this a collector’s dream or just nostalgia gone too far? Meanwhile, the voice behind the legendary “Toasty!” line from Mortal Kombat has left the studio, marking the end of an era for one of gaming’s most iconic sound bites. And in the DIY corner, a creative modder has turned LEGO bricks into a fully functional Game Boy — and yes, it actually plays games! From Atari’s retro revival to Mortal Kombat goodbyes and brick-built handhelds, this week’s episode of Bit By Bit covers everything that makes gaming history worth revisiting. ?

The Atari Gamestation Go doesn't ship with Atari Lynx games, but that's never stopped us! In this video, I walk you through how to expand your new GSG to play every Lynx game released, and then some. Rather than one epic video that tries to cover the process to add every possible platform to the Go, I'm instead going to break them up into a series, starting with Lynx. Why? Firstly, the GSG has so much potential for expansion that a single comprehensive video would inevitably gloss over small, important details. Secondly, because the GSG is a brand new and evolving product whose features will likely change and evolve as firmware updates come along, tackling expansion in smaller bites will allow for more focused update videos if & when improvements are made for specific platforms. #atari #handheld #retrogaming #genxgrownup @MyArcaderetro @atari - SHOP Atari Gamestation Go » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CT68G1TP?tag=genxgrownup-20 Gamepad » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCQMQ27?tag=genxgrownup-20 Sandisk 128GB SDXC » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B7NTY2S6?tag=genxgrownup-20 Pixel Pocket Pros » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCPD9PR?tag=genxgrownup-20 Casino Pixel » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FD5X12L3?tag=genxgrownup-20 Pocket Bundles » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F7TLLVX3?tag=genxgrownup-20 Sonic Mighty » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCN9NQD?tag=genxgrownup-20 Pac-Man Mighty » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCQS39K?tag=genxgrownup-20 Casino Player » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCMLJL2?tag=genxgrownup-20 Casino Pocket » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCN844L?tag=genxgrownup-20 Sonic Joystick » https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DSCMZSLB?tag=genxgrownup-20 http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 No Lynx? 00:31 Lynx Memories 01:05 Expansion Series 01:45 Overview & GSP 02:50 Loading SD Files 04:42 SD into GSG 05:23 Control Layout 07:18 Cali Games & Flip 08:44 Double Dragon & Settings 10:32 Klax & TATE 11:50 Ms. Pac-Man & D-Pad 13:19 Rampart 14:36 Toke & Buttons 15:21 Homebrew 16:00 Grub-O-Grotto 17:11 Jungle Jack 17:39 2048 18:17 Fortress Fighter 19:11 The Inside World 20:24 Unsupported
