/vr/ - Retro Games

Previous thread: >>3165325

This thread is for the spirited discussion of CRT displays - Televisions, monitors and projectors used for the playing of retro games!

>Try to keep it /vr/-related: Nothing past 5th gen(+Dreamcast). Slight OT might be okay if related to CRTs (E.G. 16:9 compatible models, flatscreens, etc.) Systems with backwards compatibility are also pretty safe territory, assuming you're focusing on the older games. PC CRTs are also a-ok.
>Produce OC! Get out your real cameras and take beautiful pictures of your CRTs displaying recognizable characters with the kind of beautiful accuracy that brings tears to the eyes of young and old alike! If you take 100 photos, at least one of them will turn out alright! (maybe)
>Try to be as detailed as possible when asking info on a specific model. As always, google is your friend, and we are your friends with benefits. Older archived threads aren't a bad place to look either.
>Share appreciation for others choice of technology and personal philosophy of gaming. As always show courtesy in your discussion and moderate yourselves first.

Discussion of video processing and scaling devices is okay, but try to keep the focus on CRTs and CRT accessories

We were on page 10, I gave you a chance. pseudo-anonymous OP this time though.

I stole RCA connectors from a dead AV receiver. It's a gold mine for them!

I actually think it might be that power-hungry. I believe you might be able to get away with switching regulator replacements, because they both (as I understand it) power different parts of the board.

The Genesis has two discrete CPU's (the 68000 and Z80) so I wouldn't be too shocked if the second regulator is just for the 68000 (the more powerful of the two CPU's). I don't even KNOW what those two sega SMD chips do, but I bet at least one of them's a power hogging graphics processor.

I had to remove the bottom RF shield piece until I get a chance to dremel away a small section of it, in order to pass the wires up and around the PCB. Hoping just the top RF shield part will be enough to dissipate that heat for now.

I'm the guy who showed that pic near the end of last thread of the 'buffer' sync method. If you can get the other method working, that'd be awesome, but I had no luck and my PVM syncs to my signal from the buffer just fine. I recommend it. (see: >>2827402 and >>2827391 )

Sounds like a better term to me. I think I read the same thing.
