/vr/ - Retro Games

bump

yes
not spectacular but as long as its in good condition its an ok deal

I paid that for a 1702. My only regret is that it can't into 3D or prerendered , no Star Fox or Donkey Kong Country.

>>717736

I've no idea what you said. Could you say it as-is in your native language, and maybe somebody can translate it?

>>717763
I'm having trouble finding out what you had a problem understanding. If it's the "can't into" you must be pretty new, it's a widely used way of phrasing things in a silly way on 4chan and many other forums.

>>717736

how can a tv not display particular games?

That makes no sense

>>717780
It can't. If you watch Gamecenter CX you'll recall in the USA special he wanted to try DOOM but it wouldn't work, it's because the commodore monitor simply can't display those graphics.

>>717784
TVs and monitors can't differentiate between 3D or prerendered. If it can't display those games it's because they use a specific resolution/timing it's incapable of using. That's it. Monitors don't give a shit. Also doom runs at the standard native resolution of the snes. The cart itself was crapping out the timing for some reason as you could see it was still playing.

>>717780
Was correct when he said it made no sense, because it doesn't. The monitor doesn't know what's on the screen, period. It just knows how to move the beam and when.

>>716954

Commodore 64 monitors are Okay tier. For 40$ it's a bit expensive, but you can get it if you want, it's not excessive. However if you find a Commodore Amiga monitor for the same price or even cheaper, take the Amiga one as they accept RGB and they're higher quality.

I've got an entire working c64 with about 10 games and a joystick, how much are they worth these days? I don't have room for it anymore and I want to sell it off

>>718214
>using rgb on old games

>>718221

50$ is the highest reasonable price for a C64 w/ disk drive (30$ for the same computer with datassette) or an Amiga 500.
70$ if you have many peripherals like printers, an bunch of disk drives instead of only one.
75$ if it's the same as above but with a fuckload of floppies.
I'd say for your case 50$, because you only have 10 floppies, and you can get floppies for peanuts.

>>718229

My Amiga, my Megadrive, my Super NES, my Saturn, my Atari ST and some other stuff output RGB natively, so an RGB monitor can be cool. I'm sorry if you live in a shithole where only composite and RF are available...

>>718221
Why no boxes of games?
But seriously, you can get an adapter and shit to run games from your PC to it over a serial connection and shit.

I just spent hours installing new IOSes and tampering with an SD card to get my Wii synced with my phone and computer for ROMs and RetroArch.

Now I'm pixel-perfect on my 27" Trinitron via component. Yet I'm still stuck in Super Zeromission. You should see the colors from an NES, it's like a $400 RGB mod. Gimmick is so GREEN.

>>717768
I apologize for not understanding your 4chan kiddie bullshit.

Come the fuck on, man. It's not like anyone is forcing you to lurk and post here.

>>716954
I have one. It's pretty nice, but $40 seems steep.
Try to talk them down if you can.

>>718382

"can't into" is pretty common internet lingo

>>718859

Just ignore him and walk away, he's just here to say "UH UR A KIDDIE BECOS I DONT UNDERSTAND WAT U SAY LOL U BUNCH OF NECKBEARD LOVING OLD STUFF", I bet he's a normalfag.

they have nice color, but they're small. you can get a sony trinitron in any size you want for under $30, often $1 or free if you're lucky. $40 seems too high

>>718192
I don't know why it doesn't work. I tried all 3 DKC games, Star Fox, and Stunt Racers, all of which showed either nothing on the screen or very faded red lines across it. However, Super Mario World and Super Adventure Island, along with all the other games that are simply 2D work fine. It's also worth mentioning that the placebo 3D graphics of some NES games work as well.

I'm almost completely new to retro gaming, and I plan to start playing some snes RPG's. I want to throw down some money for the best TV i can (one that I would never need to replace) From what I understand, the best is a 19 inch sony trinitron BVM. Is this the case? is there a way for an american like me to get RGB?

>>718859

You're cool.

Using a 1702. No problems for me.

Star Fox. All Donkey Kongs work also.....

Perhaps I'm having a resolution problem then? I don't know how to shrink the picture like that on mine, I can only adjust the V and H. Is it possible my SNES has some rare problem where it can't handle the complex mappers?

>>719973
Is that a Multi Mega?
damn

neat

I've got a question that's at least semi-/vr/ related, and since you guys actually know shit about displays I figured I would ask here. I decided on a whim to connect a PS2 to my PS1's RGB SCART cable and see if it would work. Well, the connection does work, but my PVM's screen has a severe green tint when I try to play it. I've tried this on multiple PS2s, all of which have the same green tint, and none of my other consoles have this problem, including my PS1 run through the exact same SCART cable. I also tried switching around the BNC connectors on my SCART convertor since I had similar problems when I connected those in the wrong place before, but that just screwed up the color even further. Does anyone know what the problem is here? My monitor is a Sony PVM-14M2U, my SCART cable is this one:

and my SCART convertor is this:
http://www.retrogamingcables.com/sony-pvm-scart-converter-bnc.html
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

>>717784
This is flat out wrong. I have used it with an xbox and nes. Do not listen to this faggot.

>>720542
Go into the PS2's system configuration, and set it to output RGB rather than component.

So, a Commodore 1702 is good for all retro gaming? I play a lot of SNES, N64, Saturn and Dreamcast games.

ignorant fag here. why a "monitor" over just about any other TV?

>>720761
I'm assuming because they're usually higher quality, higher refresh rates, etc. Plus they're just the standard. There's not a million different models, you have Trinitrons, PVMs, and Commodore 1702s.

>>720707
Oh wow, thanks. I honestly don't think that would have ever occurred to me.

>>720783
>There's not a million different models, you have Trinitrons, PVMs, and Commodore 1702s.
There are a shit load of different consumer Trinitrons and professional Trinitrons(PVMs and BVMs), and a large number of them aren't great for old games.

And only the PVMs, BVMs, and Commodore sets would be monitors. Most Trinitrons are just TVs.

>>720804
No problem.

Hi frands. I was the Ausfag who tried to buy the sweet Trinitron from a dude here in Sydney last week. The dickhead turned my $50 offer down, wouldn't budge ("but it's the best of it's kind, you won't find one this cheap!").

Anywho I ended up scoring a JVC Flatron from a workmate for nada. It's got component, so I'm reasonably pleased with my score.

The fucker is huge and heavy and I haven't got it set up yet. Will snap a pic when I do.

Beg pardon, it's an LG.

hey /vr/, is this a good deal?

>>721591
Are these security PVMs good for gaming? I assume they aren't because I want a better screen than is necessary to catch random shoplifters.

>>720093
It's a Sega CDX which is the same thing I think. Picked it up a few months ago for 15 bux at a swapmeet!

>>720870

Shitty phone picture but here goes. This is just with the front composite plugs.

>>721591

no

>>721856

Looks fine, and good choice. Always play the robot.

>>720721
I pretty much use it for everything at this point. I know AV connection isn't the best for some of the later systems like SNES, N64 and PS1 since you can do Svideo on them but I just really like it.

>>721901
I dont use it for HD systems though of course :P
>>721856
Nice!

>>718245
how much for that box

>>721906
Damn.. I was watching that and praying it'd last until the 1st when I get paid...

>>721948
9 left.
I'd buy one if it was free shipping...

>>721953
I don't know WHY I thought there were 9 left, it says "more than 10 avalible" so I think you'll be fine.

If you watch Gamecenter CX you'll recall that the Kacho uses a pleb-tier LCD with scaling and lag issues.

>>718192
Dude DOOM booted fine in 256x224p but when he started the game it switched to DOOM's high resolution 512x224p mode, an old CGA monitor can't necessarily handle those additional lines without trying to interlace like it did in the USA special.

>>721856
SCART Hunter lives in Australia and hooked up a gaming fan with the best TV he'd ever found for like $100.

If you want an authentic experience, use a tv. If you want perfect accuracy, use a no lag lcd. Otherwise, you're just being a wanker.

>>721991
>no lag lcd
That is not a thing, also the improper scaling is not perfect accuracy. Perfect accuracy is actually more achieved through PVM because of the sharper image, no lag, colour bleed, etc.

>>722007
That's the point. The image should be a little fuzzy for authenticity, IMO

>>722015
Then don't try and make the argument that and LCD could fit the bill as perfect accuracy.

>>722026

it's accuracy (correct pixels) or authenticity, pick one

>>722047
>(correct pixels
That means nothing, technically it would be the "wrong pixels" because an LCD screen would not scale them properly, unless you buy a $400 scaler.

>>721906
