Did Sony just give retro gaming a massive boost? ? This week on Bit By Bit, we’re talking about Sony’s plan to end physical disc production for new PlayStation games starting in 2028 and why that could make retro gaming, physical media, and old-school collecting even more important. We also dig into Evercade’s new Visco Arcade collections, the increasingly strange 3DO revival drama, a hidden Banjo-Kazooie musical surprise, a wild E-Ink Game Boy project, Donkey Kong 64 getting a native PC port, and the debate over AI-generated FPGA cores. If you love retro games, physical media, game preservation, weird hardware, and the occasional industry faceplant, this one’s packed. #RetroGaming #PlayStation #PhysicalGames #Evercade #BitByBit - LINKS Sony Physical Media - https://tinyurl.com/yyeve5mt Evercade Visco Arcade - https://tinyurl.com/4hru68ek 3DO Comeback Part 1 - https://tinyurl.com/3hz3834s 3DO Comeback Part 2 - https://tinyurl.com/yat5zvtr Banjo-Kazooie Secrets - https://tinyurl.com/ystfu725 E-Ink Game Boy - https://tinyurl.com/4t2awau9 Donkey Kong 64 Native PC Port - https://tinyurl.com/2h36fnc9 AI FPGA Cores - https://tinyurl.com/2zszuj8u - SHOP 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 Fightbox » https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 - Intro 00:22 - Sony Physical Media 06:08 - Evercade Visco Arcade 07:31 - 3DO Comeback Part 1 09:17 - 3DO Comeback Part 2 10:58 - Banjo-Kazooie Secrets 13:13 - E-Ink Game Boy 14:13 - Donkey Kong 64 Native PC Port 15:05 - AI FPGA Cores
