Why does this connector make yanks so mad?

[Anonymous No.4342336]

Well to be honest the connector itself is in fact pretty shitty with how big and bulky it is.
I mean, it was designed by the french so what else would you expect.
The fact that it can carry a wide range of signals, especially component and rgb is pretty nice though.

[Anonymous No.4342337]

Because we need a hard to find professional monitor or $80 good component transcoder to take advantage of that expensive shit

[Anonymous No.4342349]

Also nice bait

Well I mean it was designed in what 1975 of course it's going to be bulky, nevertheless it was really practical.

Technically wouldn't implementing one SCART port that outputs Composite,S-Video and RGB be cheaper than two separate inputs for Composite/Audio and S-Video?

Of course, but that's why I said those companies want to out jew muricans

It’s funny that palfags think they have a better connector when they still play their games in 50Hz and can’t ever experience the games as they were intended

[Anonymous No.4342465]

I don't believe it makes anybody "mad", rather it confuses people because it was never an accepted standard in the US.

my current CRT is PAL60, has an amazing picture, tho it is flatscreen so no gun games.

Our ps1 growing up was chipped and I played through some NTSC games in black and white or had to take them to my grandmas house as her TV was PAL60. They where not that uncommon.

[Anonymous No.4342498]

Because Euros conflate the connector itself with some kind of inherent superiority, ignoring the fact that RGB output is achievable via other means, and pretending that half the time they aren't just sending composite over the same thing and thinking it's better because they're technologically illiterate.

Thats bullshit anyone whos used one knows how poor the connector is. Its the better picture whats the bragging rights, and if I'm not mistaken there where no consumer CRTs capable of RGB in the US

The connector has nothing to do with Japanese companies releasing their consoles crippled over here. I run all my consoles in NTSC over SCART here in the UK.

[Anonymous No.4342586]

>>4342498

I have seen it on here quite differently several times, that when SCART was mentioned casually some Murrican immediately jumped onto that with "muh 60Hz", as if he's conflating it with superiority too and has the reflex having to defend what he deems inferior.

Yeah, no shit. SCART is a euro standard.
No one fucking uses it in the US, so of course it's confined to niche products like broadcast/professional monitors over here.

RGB doesn't give a shit about that PAL/NTSC crap but plenty of televisions here let you force various of video systems my old GRUNDIG let me choose between PAL50,PAL60,NTSC 4.43,NTSC 3,58 and SECAM

[Anonymous No.4342634]

1. Depends on the system,but because you're American I assume you mean Japanese consoles
2. It's not about the colour encoding format (PAL), it's about the mains frequency (50hz).

And here come these faggots, every thread. All europoors claim that they all imported ntsc games and played on modded systems.

You had a shitty scart connector which had sync on composite, making it no better than s video. You also played 50Hz. Deal with it

[Anonymous No.4343315]

i bought my PVM over 4chan haha

[Anonymous No.4343550]

It doesn't. SCART was almost never used for consumer TV sets in America, and the only sets that would ever have them were high-end. That's just the way it is, just like how all those European countries use different electrical outlets.

Nothing to do with PAL. 50hz is the mains frequency.
>and squashed picture?
Nothing to do with PAL. That is caused by developers not compensating for the superior PAL resolution when porting games.

[Anonymous No.4343914]

>>4343906
Truth. But it doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of games weren't ported properly, rendering any other arguments fairly moot. Assigning blame won't change the problem.

[Anonymous No.4343921]

>>4343890
1. Importing pre-5th gen games meant jack shit because refresh rate was a hardware toggle.

2. PS1 (the only relevant console as far as yurop was concerned) was stupidly easy moddable and could run pirated copies of 60hz games.

So yeah, if you know who to talk to you could blast 60hz games in the 90s across europe. Know what you're talking about before embarrassing yourself.

[Anonymous No.4343946]

>>4343921

you are the dumb one here because the whole discussion here is about the pre-5th gen games, because when the PS1 arrived, all TV companies already were making their TVs with both systems PAL/NTSC. So you are pretty much skipping the whole Nintendo consoles just to not look like a fucking idiot.

[Anonymous No.4343981]

>>4343946
European TVs supported 60Hz since the mid to late 80s, and it has as nothing to do with proper NTSC support, because, as everybody mentioned, RGB could grant you full color definition at any refresh rate. I.e. dudes with modded consoles could play SNES and MD games at 60hz, the latter much more easily than the former. But still, most Japanese games were imported like it was nothing back then.

If you had a modded system you had a RGB cable sorry chump but it wasn't some fucking rarity you could pick up a RGB cable at some random hardware store.

one word. 50 fucking herz

[Anonymous No.4344325]

>>4343206

True

But unfortunately irrelevant with consoles where the device pruducing the signal is directly beneath the TV. Therefore no phase shifts and chroma errors so that PAL cannot play its strength.

Wrong. I don't know about other consoles, but for the Mega Drive/Genesis, we can just mod our console, or use the JP/US console and most PAL cartridges will work exactly the same as the NTSC ones.

The only real reason to buy non-PAL games if you live in a PAL region is if they are JP/US exclusives. But the reverse is true for people from NTSC regions who want to play PAL exclusive games.
