Projects
The Projects section of the North Devon Retro Archive showcases hands-on work, experiments, and restorations carried out on retro computers, consoles, and accessories. From getting classic machines online and building custom game cartridges, to crafting retro-style monitors and restoring faded plastics through retrobrighting, these projects explore the practical side of preserving and enjoying vintage technology.
Each project includes detailed write-ups, photographs, and step-by-step notes where possible, sharing both successes and lessons learned along the way. This section is intended not just to document what’s been done, but also to inspire and guide others who want to breathe new life into their own retro hardware and keep these machines running and relevant in the modern era.
