/vr/ - Retro Games

Now, you may not be aware of this, but the gamecube supports CPS1 emulation through retroarch and Final Burn Alpha, so I've been playing around with that.

And you may also not know that the Gamecube has the finest video output of any of Nintendo's systems, and especially its composite video output is the greatest of any video game system ever released. It's really, really good. It's a night and day difference from something like any version of the Megadrive, and a major upgrade from the Super Famicom.

So now I pose a question to you. In this image, I believe it is very close to what an old arcade monitor would look like given the high quality signal (even in an "inferior" format). But the downsides of composite video are made up for here by the roundness of the tube, the more primitive color reproduction technology, and the shadow mask. In a best case scenario I would prefer to use RGB, yes, but I think this is still very good.

Note: this image is not supposed to be razor sharp and mind blowingly good looking. It's supposed to look archaic.
