RetroOnyx Origins

My name is Kevin Mellott and RetroOnyx is my new site dedicated to retro gaming.  I've been building retro gaming hardware for the last ~8 years.  I've been a electrical engineer for 13+ years and I was an electronic technician for 7 years prior to that.  A tinkerer my entire life.  My goal here is to provide innovative niche gaming products for the retro gaming community.  I enjoy surprising people with unexpected features in my projects and I'm known to keep tweaking a product until it's just right. 

RetroOnyx has a strong history with Nintendo Virtual Boy projects, starting years ago on the PlanetVB.com forums.  I will continue with my Virtual Boy projects here, as well as bring my design ideas to other retro gaming platforms.  I currently build products for Virtual Boy, Wonderswan, Dreamcast, and a few others.  

The name RetroOnyx comes from a combination of retro gaming and my onyx 3D print material, which is the carbon fiber material a lot of my products contain.  These are exciting times with so much that can be designed and realized.  I look forward to the future and what RetroOnyx can bring to the gaming community.
