🕹️ Retrogaming & hardware

Outside of work I run trespordez.com.br — a retrogaming blog focused on emulation, hardware preservation, and classic computing. Writing as The Archivist.

Beyond the software side: I mod, repair, and tune classic consoles to work better in today's setups — any hardware from the Atari era to 6th gen and beyond. GDEmu swaps, region-free patches, recap jobs, RGB mods, ODE installs — all fair game. Also into: MAME · CHD tooling · DOS/retro computing · Cars · Movies & Series
