>>8480852
Looking good, OP.

>>8480852
I have a Toshiba CRT/DVD combo unit similar to the one in OP. The TV itself only has composite input on the front.

Any chance that the internal DVD player uses RGB or Component? If so it would probably be possible to tap into that.

>>8480892

good question that I actually haven't looked into, but might later on

>>8481275

>>8481342
>retroid pocket with a crt
just use a regular computer wtf, you'll get more power for the same amount of money
the appeal of the retroid pocket is that you can put it in your pocket

>>8481392
what do you recommend for $100 that runs n64

>>8481342

Damn that Toshiba TV

>>8481396
60 bucks for a old laptop, 20 bucks for a VGA adapter and 20 bucks for a used dualshock 3 or 4 controller

>>8481416
got it for $50 off of craigslist.. barely used from a guy's RV

>>8481417
you know what, i should just use my laptop that's laying around. good idea.
so HDMI to component, right? it also has S video.
not sure what the best is.

I spend more time playing than cleaning so it's a little dusty

your dc is going to yellow over time, swap places with the ps1 (which also yellows but the ps1 is a very cheap to replace console.

>>8481775
>>8481578
Also consider a dust cover or something for both the PS1 and the DC. Keep the UV rays off. Front of the Gamecube is going to yellow too.

I used to love "beside the window" setups but it yellowed all my consoles (except for my SNES, which was kept underneath the TV). Now I prefer the basement dweller setup.

Nice pussy btw

>>8481858
what game is that on the fat Snes?

I have been trying to search for someone to RGB mod CRTs on fiverr with no luck.

>>8482096
Why not just get a set with component?

>>8482096
For what reason? RGB is a huge meme.

>want my own retro battlestation
>by the time i get a job to afford it and move out there wont be any CRTs left

>>8482157
The CRTs are free anon. You just have to be willing to get a 32 incher. Those are always around.

>>8481858
it's that weird snes controller a plushy?

>>8481881
based hoarder anon, keep us updated

>>8482128
My last component set had a large green spot which discolors everything in the lower middle section which was annoying to look at, so it was thrown out. Now there are no CRTs in my area.

>>8482129
I'm already invested. Have many cables for the systems I have. I actually like the RGB look, if a large BVM were available here, I have saved a couple thousand for one, but I still lack the room and vehicle to transport one at this time.

>>8481858
ooh tell me about that pocket monsters backpack, i recognize that artwork from the manga

>>8480852
nothing special but I’m satisfied

>>8482069
Honestly, im not sure what the name is anymore, I got it a while ago. Its a super famicom exclusive puzzle game where you and your opponent have an actual health meter and if that gets to 0, they lose in the same way as if you were to hit the top of the screen in a normal puzzle game. Your blocks are swords and potions and spell scrolls and if you match them, you deal damage to the opponent or heal yourself. If you do a combo, a little cutscene will show you attacking your opponent. Its kinda similar to Tetris Battle Gaiden also on the SFC.

>>8482192
No, its an actual controller. It was for the Nintendo Super System, which was essentialy a glorified SNES demo-kiosk released as an arcade machine in the early days of the system. Had timed versions of games like F-Zero and Mario World on it. The controller actually feels really nice and I got it from a game convention a long time ago with the intents to see if I could get an adapter rigged up to use it as an actual SNES controller and just cause its neat. Only problem is they used some kind of foam insulation material or something inside it that makes the d-pad insanely hard to push down on, but it can be removed.

>>8482235
I honestly have no idea if its official or not, I found it for a dollar at a thrift store up in bumfuck nowhere redneck town. The artwork is also what attracted me to it since its the old manga/pre anime style. All the art seems original and it uses some of the early, early characters from before the franchise kicked it off big, but I cant find any branding on it, so its either a bootleg or was released in Japan only in the super, super early days when the franchise first launched.

>>8481092
did you photoshop that hat on your cat baltbro?

>>8482096
>500 dollars worth of everdrives
>Just to use on clone console
Fucking why? Just get a Pi or modded Wii if you don't care about authenticity or accuracy.

>>8482157
Parents don't want a huge CRT set? You probably don't even need to move out to get in on the fun. Sony made some nice 20" consumer sets. I had a Sony KV-20FV12 when I was in a university dorm room, it was quite small, about the size of a CRT computer monitor. Most smaller sets only have composite but that one came with S-video (I never used it at the time because I didn't realize what a huge upgrade it was over composite, but honestly composite is good enough to satisfy the retro gaming bug). You could pick up something similar and just put it in your room, it would be really comfy. Small, high quality consumer sets are seriously overlooked.

If you are really, really short on space, RCA made some decent 13" sets, but those are mono speaker and composite only.

>>8480852

>>8481471
I have that same Amazon box

>>8482395

genuinely awesome set up, pry the best one I've seen here, great selection of games for every console, super satisfying seeing collect sets of games like DKC 1-3

excellent addition

>>8482208
>My last component set had a large green spot which discolors everything in the lower middle section which was annoying to look at, so it was thrown out
Mate, all you needed to do with that is Degauss it

>>8480852
It’s a bit shit but it works pretty great, need to find something a bit cleaner for cables though

>>8480990
This guy is the same guy who probably shit posts on /g/ about CRTs all day. It's honestly incredibly annoying. I sincerely don't understand the desire of propping CRTs up so much. The perceived upsides never seem worth the downsides of owning these ACME anvils

>>8482619
>The perceived upsides

>Sexy. Needs a Dreamcast though.
For sure. Just waiting on a cable from retro-access and then I'll make the room for it.

>>8482157
Dude they're literally free right now, and I think there will still be free CRTs around in three years. Use facebook marketplace.
I just picked one up from a country milf who lives 30 minutes outside of my city for free. She has no clue some autists would cough up $150 for this thing but it was collecting dust in her trailer and she wanted it gone.
As boomers/Xers downsize in retirement, idle CRTs hit the market. You don't have to wait anon. Scoop one up now.

>>8482680
Very dope. Must be nice to be a PALbro and use rgb scart for everything /vr/.

>>8482702
>Must be nice to be a PALbro
ew no

>>8482702
tfw gonna clean out the back of my tahoe so I can start picking up CRTs.
I might need to start working out for the big boy sets though.

>>8482706
For scart and scart only.
Is there a segment of the world that had RGB scart readily available AND 60Hz games?

>>8482702
>PALbro
PAL Dreamcasts have blue swirls

>>8482761
I mean, everything 6th GEN was pretty easy to play 60hz

>>8482303
Shhh... Yes, that was my pre-Christmas battlestation picture but turning Christmas I shopped the hat.

>>8481092
I have that same Sony monitor on the left. Are they good for anything anymore?

>>8483285
See >>8481482
Decent enough for a VGA CRT. Good for 6th and 7th gen or old PC games.

>>8483315
What model exactly?

>>8483321
E530.

>>8483323
Too expensive, shame

>>8483326
Where are you located? I picked this one up for free a couple months ago since I moved recently and couldn't take any of my old CRTs. You can definitely find good prices or even free if you bother putting up listings, etc.

I also have one of these smoll DVD playing CRTs, the colors on it are surprisingly good irl

Use to have fucking amazing CRT tvs as a kid but parents got rid of them. Is goodwill a decent place to find em or maybe ebay?

>>8487124
put up a ad that you're looking for glass tube monitors or tvs on facebook marketplace, Kijiji, craigslist, ebay marketplace, etc, whatever local options you have

>>8487124
Most Goodwills and thrift stores don't accept them anymore but it depends on your area
Just setup searches on craigslist, FB marketplace, etc. and you'll find something.
Make note of when trash/bulk pickup days are and drive around neighborhoods in your area that have old people, I've found 75% of my CRTs on the side of the road.

>>8480852
Using the optical out of the ps2 going into a dac to have the sound coming through headphones,very comfy.

Gonna be taking down these Christmas decorations soon.

>>8487439
Also here's a closeup pic of my PC setup a friend of mine took while he was over.

>>8487439
GOAT tier setup anon

a complete mess but whatever I have covid and am lazy

>>8487318
What are the good brands for CRT? Someone said to avoid the dvd combo ones for some reason iirc.

>>8487985
How do you use that turntable when it's tucked under the TV and you can't take the cover off?

>>8480852
Just got a PS2.

>>8488002
it's all been said a million times but Trinitrons are easy to find and nearly the standard, avoid the silver flat screen models unless you can verify that it has good geometry. JVC D series, Panasonic Gaoo, Mitsubishi and NECs are also pretty good generally speaking.
Condition matters more these days than the original specs of the CRTs and beggars can't be choosers.
>>8487445
>>8487439
most based setup I've seen in years. Do you play that organ?

>>8488414
I got a PSIO too, I sold the entire setup for an X Station and a new PS1. Dunno if they got better with updates but they sucked for the longest time.

>>8487439
I got that same TV in my dads garage. Really hoping that open CRT Driver project gives me something I can use to get a decent video signal into it.

>>8482395
Gonna steal your idea of using floating shelves to display games. I use flash carts and ODEs for everything anymore but would still like to see the case.

>>8488509
Yeah the guy who develops it hasn't put new firmware out in a year and has been a huge dick to people asking about it in the forums.

Otherwise it works great for the games I want to play, haven't run into any issues.

>>8481092
Why do people insist on posting shit like this in these threads? Fucking troon station.

>>8488202

>>8488735
he turned them on for the pics, come on now

>>8488610
>it's not ideal but it's going to have to work for now
I know your pain, that's basically my whole room in one sentence. Left speaker on the floor, right on the windowsill instead of proper stands, piles of CDs and games wherever they fit, etc.
The only things that are properly placed here are my bed, the TV with the entertainment center underneath (thankfully it's enough to house all my consoles, an amp and a CD player) and the desk with my computer. Would love a big bookshelf to put all my shit there and some space for a CRT, but can't do much in 9 square meters.

>>8488418
Someone is selling this one for $50, but I feel that is a ripoff. https://houston.craigslist.org/ele/d/katy-20-konka-color-tv-with-remote/7420066413.html

>>8488778
Dude, there's another mint CRT right under that one, sure they're budget but possibly NOS. Try to talk him down or see if he has anything else worth picking up and bundle it.

>>8488797
You mean https://houston.craigslist.org/ele/d/katy-20-insignia-tv-dvd/7420065615.html ? What would you pay for a tv like these?

>>8481092
No, man! You ARE OP! There's no need to be afraid anymore, the world's changed. If someone wants to be OP, then there's no shame in admitting. Be proud!

>>8488820
It looks like this might be the manual if that helps. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/447636/Insignia-Is-Tvdvd20a.html?page=8

>>8488820
$100 is laughable, honestly, this seller probably isn't worth dealing with. Seems to be a poorly informed reseller who would be offended if you attempt to bargain. I wouldn't pay more than $15 for either of those and even then only if they have low hours.

>>8488876
That is what I figured sadly, everyone is jewing everyone it seems. I did find this vinstage looking one, but I doubt it would be any good if it were free.

>>8488938
that's a fun smaller set, if it's cheap I'd get it for the novelty.

picked up this Tau recently for free, barely used and even came with a manual, but the geometry is pretty bad. not at my home right now so i cant show my setup unfortunately. once i graduate uni and get a bigger place i can really build out a room for it. im wondering if i should mess with the service menu or just leave it be. panasonics seem much more complicated than other brands

>>8488514
>floating shelves

They are great if you don't have the space or desire to commit to a full shelf or bookcase.

>>8488560
I can't remeber if it was FF8 or 9 but one of them wouldn't load, nor RE2 or 3. This was like a few months after launch and the dev was being a dick head so I sold the whole thing and like I said I made a profit off it even after buying the X Station and a new PS1

Excuse the mess, recently moved. I'll get shit more organized once I find a few more suitable bookshelves, or an entertainment center.
Not pictured: Odyssey II, Intellevision II, Atari 2600, Atari 7800, Master System II, Saturn, Dreamcast, PSOne, Playstation 3, any of my computers/handhelds/restoration projects.

Well let's just agree to disagree. (Because it goes WL2>WLVB>WL1>WL4>WL3).
But I've recently went back to back on WL2 on both FX PAK super gameboy and real emulation and I have to say the FX PAK just feels better. Sure it's placebo but emulation sucks.

VB Wario Land would be my favourite if it was longer but damn that game is so much fun, levels are so well crafted too. I still personally Wario Land 1 as SML3 (I know that's the subtitle too but most people wouldn't like it to the Mario Land games) and I think it's a major step up from ML2 in terms of having challenge and making a bigger and "better" overworld map. I don't care for 2, 3 or 4 at all but I especially dislike 3. That game just feels so muddled to me, could never get into it as a kid or even a teen. Maybe it's time to give it another chance.

whats that mini gamecube thing????

>>8482096
my flashback broke immediately
best of luck anon
realistically, the twitchy games like defender, yars revenge, river raid, centipede, etc
are much better on actual hardware
get a 7800 and give it a go
the coax adapter is like $2 on ebay

>>8482257
very cramped and busy
and no sega anything
i wasted so much time playing ff1

>>8493936
they only work with 2 steel battalion games for original xbox as far as i know
honestly i would say not to buy it
they're huge awkward and heavy
+fragile to tear down and rebox

the game itself is 6/10 at best
and basically an RNG-fest in the later missions
your allies ai is basically unusable
& missions that hinge on being able to call in support for supplies are a diceroll

its fun but if i could choose something else i surely would - and i literally love capcom

>>8493960
>whats that mini gamecube thing?
It's just the box my eon gchd came in. That gamecube is very pimped out
I'm just using the gchd for component though since it's actually cheaper than original component cables.

It's a RGB 15kHz computer monitor, not very high TVL and slot mask, it's the upper maximum of sharpness for the stuff IMO. Also no super distracting scan-lines at 240p, which I personally prefer.
Good sweet-spot for my tastes.

>if you're doing emulators

The Atari 7800 is close to my heart but I never checked the Bally, will do.

>CRT projectors
mine is almost 4000lm and even that's barely enough for every day usage

>>8494000
Even modern high end projectors are meh when you use them in light, turn off your lights and lower the blinds. Heck even CRTs are meh in daylight.

>>8494004
I've used plenty of sub 2k lm projectors. They need absolute darkness. Hence why CRT projectors can't be used with ambient light (that said I'm always on a hunt for one, but CRT projectors are not very common in Slav Land).

>>8493921
make sure
ABSOLUTELY sure that you get the 2nd revision

apparently the original sticks/buttons were very cheap feeling upon launch
they're easy to swap out but you shouldn't have to dump money in to a 600$ product

i paid on credit +amazon gift cards
if you love neogeo you might due better out of the box with an og aes and multicard ($100)

however a quick plug and powerup solution means i actually use it quite a bit
i don't like having huge arcade machines about but this one is nice - my dad is into pinball machines and arcade hardware
i just go for the jamma pcb and supergun to save space

id say its above the arcade 1up by a considerable margin, although unless you're ok with trying to cobble together a hylostickX thumbdrive for the rest of the good neo titles
its not gonna be for everyone

mvs-1b board and supergun will be cheaper and you can use a hyperkin genesis hdmi cable for upscaling for a comparable experience

im never selling mine, but i cannot in good faith run around telling people its a "must buy"

id recommend it over the neocd ($300+)
and its far superior to the neoXgold (sold and non-serviceable battery)


hope this helps
tldr:
get it if you want basically

>>8494004
>Heck even CRTs are meh in daylight
Either you have a shit CRT or you have poor quality vision

>>8494150
I don't think a F520 with less than a thousand hours runtime is a particularly bad CRT... and my vision is 20/15, which is quite good for my age.
Most displays don't look good in daylight, but CRTs are more prone to it than most LCDs or OLEDs, while projectors are even more affected

>>8494160
I would check the contrast because my CRT sure isn’t dull during the day

>>8494175
Forgot to link it >>8482592

>>8494175
>>8494180
Yeah it's hard to convey it with a picture, the camera does a lot of work to make it look brighter.

>>8494160
>F520

Bad comparison.

Most high-end desktop monitors are calibrated from the factory for ~80-100 nits to reduce eye strain, improve gamma curve, and color accuracy. Dimly lit room recommended.

Viewing in daylight, you need to crank up the brightness and contrast to 250-400 nits, which is what most consumer CRT's came set from the factory. They also needed to look good in a brightly lit showroom.

>>8494189
Exactly. So how is >>8494004 wrong?

>>8494189
most CRT-s can't even do 400 nits lol, TV or not

>>8494194
Incorrect, 400 nits is not a hard number to achieve. It will reduce the CRT's lifespan though.

For example, the WEGA FV300 series were factory calibrated at 340 nits with plenty of brightness and contrast overhead to go.

>>8494203
You're absolutely delusional if you think that most CRTs do even half of that.
Turn your contrast and brightness up, open a white image full screen and measure your brightness in nits. Post reaction.

I expected you have a colorimeter or spectrophotometer, hence why I told you to do this. If you didn't and were talking about this topic I would instantly stop even posting with you, I don't know why you'd even expect I never used one, unless you're projecting.
But you're just shitposting instead.

>>8494337
>hence why I told you to do this

When Google is at your fingertips, I don't go proving the obvious. You were wrong, called out on it, and you're salty about it. Move along and chalk it up as a lesson zoomie. Life will have many more.

>>8494006
Damn anon thanks a lot, I didn't expect such a helpful post honestly. Modern "SNK" is pretty shit with hardware but I did like the Neo Geo Mini (international version had better games), but this thing genuinely interested me. I'm glad to hear you've enjoyed it and if I ever have the 600 to dedicate to this I'll shell it out

Thanks for noticing. I actually made it myself. It's really great how many side hobbies can spring from the retro gaming hobby.

>>8494360
I don't understand how this ad hominem shitpostis is an argument? I guess you already realized that your post was bullshit and now you're trying to ignore it and just call names?
Even a simple Google search could have shown how dumb you are with saying most and or even the average CRT could get anywhere as close in nits.

Ridiculous.

>>8494194
>>>/g/85111506
>The _average_ CRT _monitor_ was 80-120 nits, but Samsung MagicBright and Mitsubishi SuperBrights could do even 300 nits, TVs doing similiar numbers isn't that far fetched. But I don't know *on average* what TVs did.
Lol even the /g/tards disagree

>>8494634
>I guess you already realized that your post was bullshit

But you have no measurements to counter mine. Do you know what a "nit" means or did you Google it too?

>>8492046
How's the heat/noise off that thing?

>>8494701
I do. I've literally measured all my CRTs while calibrating them. You can claim what you want, I know how full of shit you are and now everyone knows, you gave it away yourself.

I sit 6m away from it. I would describe it as noticeable when nothing else is running and as “can’t hear it” when even ambient music is playing.

Accept it already, you're full of shit.

>>8493176

>>8494824
Nice try

>>8494956
>Lighting 40%
that's not 40%, it's more like 33% or 1/3th

>>8494956
They can't. If you'd make it full screen, it would drop the brightness hard, most CRTs even have limiters to not over drive themselves when they display bright images.

>>8493916
>>8493916
>>>8488414 (You)
>still good
>not a fan of leaving shit plugged in 24/7 though

I have everything hooked into two APC Surge Arrest Pros and turn them off when not in use so nothing should be drawing any power.

Ended up putting the Jag away for awhile and swapped it out with a GC that I recently got with a broken disc drive and put in a GCLoader.

>>8494956
>>8494962

Nice desperation goalposts. Stay mad zoomie.

>>8494979
You were literally given the instructions before you posted your "argument".
Screen brightness is always measured with a entirely lit screen with white on it, at maximum brightness.

I will be mad, because you're a dumbass faggot.
Go be muh zoomie somewhere else.

>>8494990

It would still be well within the 250-400 nit statement that you challenged.

You lost anon.

>>8495021
>It would still be well within the 250-400 nit statement that you challenged.
I didn't? Are you just shitposting now because you got fucked in the ass for being a retard?

Nobody, including myself, ever said 250 isn't feasible, just that *most* CRTs don't even do half of 400 and that's correct.
Remember that most is also more than average and I'd say that the average CRT can't even get close to that.

>>8494194
>most CRT-s can't even do 400 nits lol, TV or not

I'm starting to think you're either dumb or just a projecting zoomer yourself, you're acting like none of the people who challenge your dumb posts haven't dealt with monitors themselves for decades.

>>8495036
I bet they wouldn't even get 300 kek

>>8495038
Doesn't matter, anyone with a brain who knows their stuff will easily know they are full of shit with their 400 nits statement.
Some retards are still worse than 12 year olds on /b/ 15 years ago.

>>8494824
Can you take a picture of that thing blasting 400 nits next to a ~80 nit monitor?

>>8495036
>>You're absolutely delusional if you think that most CRTs do even half of that.

A nice disqualifier if you're proven incorrect as you were. I'm sure you have data to back up this wild claim?

>>8495054
>I'm sure you have data to back up this wild claim?
No, I'm a cocksucking faggot, but this doesn't matter, since my argument was never the point. I posted it AFTER you claimed the 400 nits.
The point was you saying that 400 is easily achievable for most CRTs and this got already proven false by yourself.

>>8494189
>400 nits
>>8494203
>400 nits is not a hard number to achieve.

Also you said you're experienced.
>>8494227
>I did this for a living.

So either you're a dumbass or you're knowingly lying and just shitposting. Since you should know the truth.
It's usually the simpler explanation.

Unless you bring up some actual argument outside of shitposting and ad hominem, I'm getting bored.

>>8495054
>A nice disqualifier if you're proven incorrect as you were.
I'm confused, where was anon proven incorrect?

>>8495069
>shitposting

That is all you have been doing. Posted no sources, no measurements. Just shitposting random thoughts/theories and grasping straws whenever you get countered. because you were asshurt over being wrong.

A random consumer set nailed 387 nits just by cranking the contrast to max. No brightness bump, no sub-brightness bump in the service menu, which could easily net me another 30 or so nits.

You have the ball now, counter it with evidence or fuck off back to /b/.

>>8495091
Show me it doing 400 nits or even 387 nits with fullscreen white, the whole screen and I will. You haven't thrown the ball yet, just trying to brute force an argument you were wrong about.
Get off your high horse, you know you fucked up, just move on.

>>8495103
They can't
If they post anything implying they can it will be a Photoshop
Just ignore the retard

>>8495107
I know and I really don't care, I only pointed this out to call out their bullshit.

>>8495091
Lmao you haven't don't shit retard

I have no idea why you faggots even argue, nobody is going to run their set at max brightness and contrast anyways just to make the picture a little less shit in daylight, it won't change much
I swear the boomers here are even worse than the zoomers

>>8495908
If you’re only running composite than any old shit will do
I have one that includes svideo as well
As well as a SCART switcher for some consoles

Help me out here, lads. tax return season is right around the corner and I am planning to "rebuild my childhood". That basically involves buying a mini CRT like I had, a SNES and N64, and a bunch of games for them. Thing is, I'm a bit demoralized from the fact that many people say these consoles are beginning to rot after 20 years, their processors are dying, their CPUs are going bad, etc. How can I justify rebuilding my collection if the shit I buy may have the high chance of just dying soon? Repairs aren't cheap.

>>8496253
Yeah I won’t argue with you there. I want to finish up the floor and finish the lattice ceiling. Gonna run led rope light in the ceiling and maybe a black light, it’ll give the walls a warm glow.

My son been bugging me to get setup, his room is on the small side so not enough for a TV and console sadly. Gaming PC is coming next year for the room.

>>8496278
first thing you should do is look at it to see if anything is obvious

>>8496278
YouTube my man. There's so many repair videos, I'm sure there's one for any diagnosis.

>>8496327
This. If you're going to learn how to do something wrong best to learn from the people who do things the most wrong. Looking forward to the gore.

It was only $10 at goodwill. in my sons room, he loves it.

>>8495961
Hmmm. Well, I'd suggest going to thrift stores for crt just because it's hard to find a good affordable one online, especially when the people selling them use words like retro, and game player with it because they tend to be scalpers. As far as consoles go, try looking online for console only, and buy 3rd party accessories for it like the ac adapter and picture cables. I wouldn't invest in buying games however because they can become pricey, unless if you want the actual games. But I would buy flash carts instead, they are much cheaper than buying a lot of games and can hold multiple games at once, some can hold the entire library of games with the right sdcard. I wish you lived where I lived, there are so many CRTs in drive ways that work practically perfectly. Just sitting there.

>>8496473

>>8496473
You got the TV from a goodwill? When did you find it?

>>8496527
Little while ago, 2019. They sell them all over the place where I live, they go for $1-45. And the REALLY big ones go for less because of how hard they are to move. So st a discount for breaking your back....I suppose?? Don't know why the bigger ones are the cheaper ones, but not by much.

>>8496473
That little stand under the sensor bar is intended for when the bar is under the TV screen.

>>8496646
I work at a thrift store. The big ones are cheaper because they sit around for months taking up space before somebody buys them.
The place I work at didn't even accept CRTs before I convinced them to at least take the nice ones.

Anyone have any tips for getting a 36 inch flat Sony up a flight of stairs? I tired with my friend, the fact you can't really get a good hold of it made it impossible for us.

With proper maintenance, which of course I mean replacing capacitors every 30 years or so most retro consoles will out live you. Also, make sure to not use shitty knock off shit with your console. A lot of these repros you see for cheap and even high dollar modern games on retro console like Demons of Asteborg came on carts without beveled edges and you'll kill your cart slot putting one of them in a few times. Also, chink ever drivers. Most of them still run at incorrect voltages. Won't hurt anything right away but a few years of that might burn something out. Outside of that I don't see SNES or N64s burning out anytime soon.

Extron scan convertor does good job converting vga to rgb scart, though windows desktop is little blurry and jittery looking, usable, but not as sharp as VGA crt monitor.
But when playing games it does look very good, no inputlag or anything, its very smooth looking and feeling like it should be, and with extron I can switch between over/under scan at will but I prefer to see the whole picture. Playing doom this way beats any of its ports in every way.

>>8498202
Why do you need a external scan converter? Why not just output the resolution you want outright? If you are outputting from a PC that is.

>>8498290
yes its ibm 300 pl, pentium 2 model + ati rage 128. I did look into the software side but they all seemd to be pain in the ass to get working, or they needed some specif graphics card model + drivers and other shit that may or may not work, just too much hassle.
Plus extron works outside of windows too, and works with other hardware than PC so its more versatile and rock solid.

>>8498309
Yeah true, DOS and Win9x era 240p output was pain, specially since you could easily shoot 32kHz into your TV, which is not good. Better safe than sorry and as long it works.
Doom at 200p is awesome though.

Actually I think PC engine is MD plug unless they’re all the same
>>8497907
It’s just a standard DC 9v adapter, it’s better to get a new one than use the Japanese one with a step down converter

Nevermind I believe you are right

Can’t beat sony

Ps2 through component on a toshiba 14AF46C.

>>8499768
I just recently bought a better component cable for mine and it looks way better, the colours were kind of dull before
So yeah, definitely don’t cheap out on your cables guys

>>8499775
Like aftermarket PS2 component cables? I have the official cable and it seems fine.

Nice.

Yeah, I mean in the cable chain
all it took was one bad cable

>>8499887
by bad I meant cheap

>>8495223
even if it's tiny and low TVL you can clearly see composite artifacts that could be gotten rid of.
it would obviously be a poor investment of resources to mod over a better TV but some people want the best they can get out of every tube. i've seen people do S-video mods to shitty TVs that can't even be tapped for RGB.

>>8498874
Isn't the Sony TV really outdated and bad for PC usage? Like slow response rate, etc

>>8498874
if you still have a working playstation TV you better fuckin use it to watch things in 3D.

They hauled off my massive Trinitron the other day...
I'm moving, and I didn't get any takers on Craigslist because the fucker was the heaviest CRT ever made.
Please send your thoughts and prayers to that beautiful set.

it works alright enough, i actually have two. these had a flaw where they would overheat easily cooking a few vital chips and by turning the default brightness now from factory setting of maxed out resulted in them lasting.

Why did you give it up?

>>8502460
I can't afford to keep it.
I'm moving out to a city in my car, and there's no room.
They've got nice crts where I'm going.

>>8502567
That's honestly a damn shame, sorry to hear that.

>>8500656
sorry about your tv anon, i hope you find another one
good luck with the move

Hi Ergo

Does anyone have that image of Super Mario Sunshine on some sort of portable stereo TV system?
I deleted an old 4chan folder because I couldn't stand to look through it. I'm talking it had old advice dog meme stuff in it.
It was an absolutely small screen. Single digit inches for sure. I'm not sure if it was black and white.
It's just the title screen of Super Mario Sunshine.

>>8510037
Or perhaps a link to a list of portable systems. I know some autismo has to have done it. There's one for laptops.

My station doesn't deserve an image. Visualize a dusty 14" Sanyo CRT with a green tint that I got for free with a N64 on top of it with a chink blue controller, all of this in a wardrobe besides my bed in my tiny bedroom.

>>8480852
This is beautiful, OP.

Here is a panasonic that someoen is selling for $50. Would 25" be too much now cause I was hoping for a 20" as a perfect size, or a compact one like OPs.

>>8510331
$50 seems expensive for an old crt but it looks like a nice set

>>8510331
That ain't worth $50.
And we can't tell you if 25" is too much. That's entirely personal preference. Do you want 25 or 20 inch? You tell us.

>>8510371
Well I have a 13" mono audio Toshiba already, but I suppose I should keep to my goals of a 20". I just didn't want to pass up a "good deal" is all. That said I would much rather try and find one for free, but I don't think that is feasible around my Houston area.

>>8510371
>>8510412
For reference this is what I have now. I need to get a nice TV stand for it as I haven't used it much since testing some games out and playing my famicom games.

>>8510331
Not unless it came with my Grandma's copy of Black Beauty and Angels in the Outfield.

>>8510331
>>8510412
Panasonic's are good quality, but don't commit to buy unless it has s-video or component ports. Too many anons are getting their toes wet with small composite only sets and missing out on the huge step up in image quality from at least s-video capable sets.

>>8510781
According what I found, just eye balling the tv model and looking at something similar, it seems to have S-video but no component.

>>8481275
Whenever I see a Toys R Us gold N64 (I assume it's this particular one) in /vr/ posts I always wonder if the guy posting it grew up with it as their console or bought it off somebody else later down the line as a collector. Also why two Wiis?

>>8510815
>he doesn't have two wiis

>>8510331
25 or 27 is great, any bigger is regretful trust me

>>8493996
babies

i dont really have room for an HD console and retro console setup in my room so I have to swap TVs every once and a while. maybe if the CRT i have wasnt massive it wouldnt be as much of an issue, but it is what it is.

>>8510781
nigga i grew up with rf, composite is fine

>>8510789
If it does that's perfect go for it, should be ideal for all retro games.

>>8511218
>nigga i grew up with rf, composite is fine
lmao what's so great about composite? i'm in the deep end of the pool, don't try to tell me it's better by the stairs

>>8511519

composite allows transparency effects &
"correctly" smoothens generation 2,3 & 4 sprites

>not having a OG PS3 with leaded reflow and cooling mods

>>8510815
I got that gold N64 because my parents were poor immigrants so I got into that generation pretty late. It's my childhood N64.

~2 years in the making. Two 5.1 setups with separate monitors in the back + RCA splicing fuckery so they serve all consoles.

Wireless controllers for each console + hardware and/or software mods for each console to effectively make every title for each system available at a moments notice for anyone visiting. WiiMC allows for 4:3 content to be streamed to the CRT via a local share as well see in the picture.

>>8510915
>>8512895


That's a 32" in the corner, which if catty-cornered works super well but otherwise if just flush against a wall could definitely cause issues.

>>8512895
This one is so sexy

Moved to a new house, replaced one of the TV stands with a $99 from BestBuy. Couldn’t find a used one worth a damn for less than that.

I was still laying the floor, PS2 was moved to the Toshiba with component cables (with the Genesis). Had to find a component switcher.

>>8512895
Nice setup, what source switcher are you using for both setups, have any component connections or is everything composite?

>>8512895
>Wireless controllers
>Software mods
>Convenience for company
>Content to be streamed

Yikes.

I don't get the problem?

Modern wireless solutions are the same latency as wired.
Software mods these days are usually even better since they don't get outdated and let you do the same things.
Streaming content these days can be done with no quality loss.

>>8508679
Nah these things are unironically great
