/vr/ - Retro Games

>>7189423
Nobody fucking cares nigger, play your games and enjoy them. Now shut up

Who told you this? I think you are projecting.

Just ignore faggots that only shitpost or want to justify their autistic hoarding. I have 15khz and 31khz CRTs and they are a novelty at best when my OLED has even better contrast, geometry, resolution, size, and comparable latency.

>>7189427
BUT IF YOU ENJOY THINGS THE WRONG WAY THEN YOU CAN NEVER BRING UP WHAT YOU LIKE IN CONVERSATION.

Those Hyperkin things are a sack of shit.

You need something like a RetroTINK or RAD2x.

Thanks, I needed more incentive to never get married.

>>7189423
I assume it's your daddys wife that won't let you have a CRT in your room.
For you, you're doing it because that. If you even have a CRT it's a tiny piece of shit you overpaid for, but 99% probability you're larping. I could understand wanting to play on a yuge screen, 80" CRTs don't exist and even a 36" is hard to find and a pain in the ass to deal with. But copeposting to strangers on the internet because the only screen your poorfag parents can afford for you is a little monitor. Super cringey.

>>7189423
What are you talking about you absolute goon? Who said this? Sounds like some weapons-grade projection after you got told to take your trinitron to the dump.

>>7189540
FUCK YOU, SHUT UP.

>>7189527
its not the hyperkin one theyre random chink ones one cost me 10 quid the other 20 both awful quality. Yeah i was looking into the retrotink or maybe ossc. I think i might just end up getting a ps1digital when theyre back in stock

>>7189423
really painful setup. peak chink

you on oxycodone dude?

>>7190504
OSSC only works if you intend to use Component.

Otherwise you also need a secondary device called a Koryuu, at which point you'd be better off just getting a RetroTINK/RAD2x.

>>7190702
the ps1 can do rgb over scart

>>7189621
So, nailed it?

>>7189423

I assume no one is married here.

>>7189423
what's the point, if you want that kinda display emulation is perfect.

what's the consensus on CRT presentation monitors?

>>7189450
it's also guaranteed to have shit motion blur

>>7189423
>Dell

I use a CRT because it looks nice but even when I was younger I played games on plasma or LCD when it was available. It's really not that bad and the issues are blown way out of proportion. Do whatever you want and fuck the CRT fags who say otherwise, they can complain about muh input lag or muh motion blur but if it's hardly noticeable or doesn't bother you it literally does not matter.

I game and watch old media on a CRT because it helps me cope with the fact that old times won't come back, so at least I'll go to them.

>>7189450
plasmas are still plentiful in my area. I might try out my collection on one, if only to help heat my house during the winter

>>7189428
He's not using a projector, he's using a regular ass LCD monitor, are you retarded?

Ill never understand dudes that marry women who hate everything they like. I have a retro game room and at first my wife was confused by the CRT stuff but then after playing a lot of retro games with me she gets it.

>>7189527
>You need something like a RetroTINK or RAD2x.
Those scalers is an ass, too.
You need OSSC.

>>7190702
>OSSC only works if you intend to use Component.
Why anyone would use anything lower in current year-10?

>>7189423
That looks awful.

>>7191943

Where can I buy / get given a crt for under $20? All my super famicom games look awful on my flatscreen.

That's a pretty shitty excuse when it's been thoroughly documented and you're inserting fake scanlines. You sound like you're coping hard either because your wife doesn't want a CRT in the house or you're insecure as fuck and need validation from fucking 4chan of all places.

>>7194397
your grandparents probably have one, just borrow theirs
>>7189423
i can agree despite being a crtfag. I know that there's value in trying to get old hardware to work with new hardware, I just prefer CRTs because they're more straight forward and I don't have to look into upscalers and shit. Plus they're more nostalgic and the novelty of playing old games on the display they were meant to be played on is nice.

OLED with a good CRT-Royale shader is the best way to view older games IMO. Perfect blacks, vibrant colors, low motion blur, low input delay especially with things like run runahead etc, plus you get a decent sized screen

The only thing CRTs really have over it is motion clarity but soon that won't be an issue anymore either

>>7191943
Hehe

>>7194370
what broke?
capacitors can be replaced if they're the issue

>>7199276
>what broke?
This board. It cracked under the strain of zoomies obsessed with talking about shit they don't understand.

>>7194370
thrift store or yard sale

>>7199483
i agree, but that wasn't my question

>>7201062
But it was your answer. You know nothing about fixing a CRT. Just a cancerous (You) whore.

>>7201425
are you even the person i replied to, you flaming faggot?
if by "broke" he means the picture looks fucked up, then it could easily be the capacitors
if it doesn't turn on to begin with, then i wouldn't bother beyond that
but i guess im just a zoomer who knows nothing, why am i even bothering to help someone out

>>7189423
I don't care how people game with old consoles, as long as they have fun. Though I will give advice on how to make it more enjoyable, whther they listen is up to them.

>>7202017
So what CRTs have you fixed by replacing capacitors? You can easily provide specifics of model and exactly what the problem was if you're not just some dumb cunt parroting "muh capacitors".
>if it doesn't turn on to begin with, then i wouldn't bother beyond that
That's because you're a dumb fuck who doesn't know what he's talking about. If it just doesn't turn on it's probably a fuse or something simple like that.

>>7202216
why would i provide the model number of my random ass RF only TV and how i fixed it if i don't even know what his TVs problem is?
are you implying that replacing capacitors is a significantly difficult task? high schools have taught electronics for decades
my tv: magnavox pr1914
never had a service manual, so i never felt comfortable doing anything but a recap
it had geometry issues where the top half of the screen was slightly warped in certain spots vertically. it was only really noticeable in 2D games that had straight lines.
it's been almost five years since i did it, but i took a pic through the vents to show the part of the board i worked on.
i didn't replace all the capacitors, because i found some that stuck out. one was bulging at the top, and another had what i thought was probably residue next to it on the board.
i ordered replacements for only those two because no way in fuck am i going to just write them all down when there's clearly an issue with one of them
it was two of the electrolytics circled, definitely middle.
and no, i never bothered cleaning the entire thing, that's why that cable is especially nasty looking

>>7202216
forgot to note:
>That's because you're a dumb fuck who doesn't know what he's talking about. If it just doesn't turn on it's probably a fuse or something simple like that.
no, it's because if it's his childhood CRT, it's probably not worth fixing whatever the fuck is wrong with it unless it's especially sentimental when he can totally just pick a comparable one up at the goodwill for cheap
i really don't understand why you're acting like im some sort of poser for knowing capacitors can be replaced. i never even mentioned that i ever did it myself until you chimped out at me

>>7202514
>>7202523
Just ignore him, anon. He's just some cancerous sperg that thinks it's funny and edgy to chimp out at people for no reason.

>>7202527
is the ossc worth it

>>7202216
Well, bigshot, do you have anything to say now?

>>7202514
Why wouldn't you provide it? Because you're larping, that's why. Another telltale sign of your larping is how you're trying to turn this into a question of whether I think replacing capacitors is hard. No. It's one of the easiest repairs. And it's pathetic that you can't even manage to do that.

>>7202523
You're a poser precisely because you brought up capacitors. The only out a gave you when squawking "muh capcitors" was to larp about having done it. That was entirely intentional.

>>7203069
Just that I fully expect you to carry on larping and coping and look forward to it

>>7203539
Can you please get a life?

>>7189427
fpbp, OPs post reads like hes asshurt about something another anon said to him specifically.

>>7203539
Lol get bent faggot

>>7203539
how about let's see your knowledge, faggot
i wanna see how many CRTs you've repaired
go ahead, post some boards and explain to me what you've done

>>7189423
I honestly don't care about CRTs. I can see the appreciation of collecting and preserving old technology though. I personally just digitally archive games.

>>7202568
Idk dude, don't have one. I just use a CRT.

Is there any point in having 16:9 crt anymore? I'm considering getting rid of mine since all the systems that look better on crt are only capable of 4:3.

>>7205148
Of course you do. You're desperate to deflect from the fact that you got caught larping. But the only thing I'm going to show you is my keen skill of calling out larpers.

>>7189423
lmao you don't have a wife

>>7189423
>their wives

>>7189423
>(and I need it to play light gun games)
see, this is why I want a Sinden since I don't have a CRT lying around

>>7189423
lmao if your wife decides whether or not you can have an old TV in your house, go ahead and get out the handcam and wait for the bull to arrive. My woman doesnt give a shit what I do and I dont give a shit what she does.

>>7205813
prove that im larping, i double-dog dare you, faggot fuck

>>7192316
The ossc is ass too. You need to spend $500 on a Frameister before you even think about playing Spyro on a Ps1.

>>7189423
>I *WANT* my games to look like a pixelated mess!
great blogpost nigger

>>7205921
>The ossc is ass too. You need to spend $500 on a Frameister before you even think about playing Spyro on a Ps1.
No, OSSC now surpasses Framemeister.
It's Lx5 mode and upsample2x option is better than anything that Framemeister can do.
And you don't need to sell a hand to buy it.

>>7205920
You already proved it my concocting a bullshit story and offering a picture with a circle drawn on it as proof.

>>7195446
Be aware that crt royale needs a 4k TV to look good, in 1080p it looks like a shitty grid. I heard 1440p is okay but games are for tvs not gay little monitors.

>>7206027
Do you even understand upscaling, you child?

>how good original hardware can work on a modern display
scanlines on the pic so not original hardware you larper go fuck yourself nobody cares, I use emulators btw so fuck you

>>7189427
Based

>>7189423
oh my god I can't unsee it and since I cannot, you now can't too.

>>7207896
Dead pixel?

>>7207510
no (You); your spergout has shown you're so desperately insecure that you'd demand proof that someone is able to remove and replace fucking capacitors
get help

>>7208975
I never demanded that you prove you're able to replace capacitors. I asked for details about the repairs you larped about doing. Since you had none you drew a circle on a picture and started deflecting like a mother fucker. And now you're projecting about your insecurities and obvious need for professional help. So sad.

>>7209150
>I asked for details about the repairs you larped about doing. Since you had none
hey i think you forgot to read this:

>hey i think you forgot to read my larp
I didn't. I've been chuckling every time I think about it.

>>7209547

>>7189540
Where the fuck did this "Carts are expensive" meme come from?

I can go to any goodwill or salvation army store and find tens of 24"+ CRTs of varying ages and hookups. Fuck, I have a 27" trinitron I paid $2 for, and that was the EXPENSIVE one.

>>7209723
It depends where you are. In my area, charity shops and pawn shops don't take them anymore due to how heavy and bulky they are, that they need to be tested, and that they get barely any money from selling them. About the only place they pop up is on classifieds sites, either for free (rarely) or for $50+ from people that advertise them as "perfect for retro gaming!"

>>7203539
go outside please

>>7207896
that's the game itself

>>7209850
also have fun

>>7208579
it's not a dead pixel it's the game itself.

>>7209897
Then what's the problem?

>>7209940
it's a "bugged" pixel where the pixels of the houses became a singularity because of one house. If you ever see those kinds of houses in towns then that brown dot will be there too.

>>7207693
>upscaling

Because my wife doesn't want a CRT in the house and I don't have a say in the matter.

Though honestly it was my incentive to sell the old CRT I had. I felt like I was just hoarding it and playing with emulators on my flatscreen anyway because it was less of a hassle.

>>7191701
Holy shit is your pic real!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111

>>7194370
Goodwill or hope your redneck neighbor throws one on your yard

>>7209723
>Where the fuck did this "Carts are expensive" meme come from?
Bandwagoners crying for years about carts being expensive?
Where did this "i can't read or write" meme come from? Also zoomies?
And your obviously larping about these "tens of 24"+ CRTs" If it were true you could just buy them and flip them on eBay for tens of hundreds of of dollars profit. So you're either the stupidest person alive or larping, and probably both.

>>7209995
And?

>>7210419
>>7210419
and it's unsightly.

if your wife has more than 2 dimensions then you fucked up

>>7210749
Whatever, don't care.

>>7211485
you won't be able to unsee it now, every time you replay it, you'll see it, at first you'll think you don't care until it kicks in how unsightly it is

>>7210110
Not that anon, but if I found a goldmine of crt's for cheap I could sell on I don't think I could be fucked to do that, sounds like a lot of effort when I could be sat enjoying video games or enjoying my free time. I have a decent job and am comfortable with money so it's not a priority

>>7213780
Fair enough, but anon is a 12yo larper who's failing school with reading comprehension so bad he won't be able to follow burger flipping instructions. Any way to make money that doesn't involve sucking cock is worth his effort.

>>7205518
you could use it to watch movies and other media with superior motion clarity. a plasma could serve the same purpose too. I've been on the hunt for a 16:9 set for a while but the rural south is a desert if you want anything good

>>7210036
I’ll interpret that as a impotent concession.
