I used to do that. Then I grew up.

I like seeing the old commercial breaks from episodes of Night Court, OKAY?

I know it's an obvious troll but honestly some things released on VHS were never rereleased on DVD, Blueray or video on demand. It's true that vhs and vhs players decay badly but it something wasn't rereleased it's the only way to watch it.

Such as?

It works with every emulator at once. No need to use RetroArch if you don't like it.

Are you putting CRT filters on PC games??

This looks nice.

I hardly have time to get through 1% of my PC game backlog in a given month, but if I had more time, I would probably do this too.

I have a snes, a bunch of games and a crt but most of the time I still use emulators since it's way easier and you can use it anywhere...

I disagree becaue because I have logical arguments against it numbnut.

Such as go fuck yourself and use google if you want to know so badly.

Yes, easily if you can get your hands on standard plug and play screen. Even my previous LCD screen still used plug and play cable and my graphics card had plug and play socket. Seriously that technology is not as old as people make it appear. Even if your gpu doesn't have plug and play socket the adapters cost next to nothing.

It's the Sega Saturn version.

>LOOK THIS ONE SPRITE HAS A SINGLE FRAME OF ANIMATION WHERE 3 PIXELS OF HIS BODY TURN BRIGHT GREEN!!!!!!

And to think Nintendo wants all of these thousands of games to be lost forever, except for the Mario and Zelda ones that they re-sell each generation.

Emulators make the games playable and i can appreciate that, but its not the same. Even Nes games look better in an old CRT than with all that filters that emulators have.

I don't even emulate, but doesn't the fancy front-end shut down when you're actually running a game? I mean, it should. Also,
>no real reason
What does this even mean? The reason is just that it looks nice.

Of course it minimizes. It launches the emulator running the game in fullscreen and when you quit the game the front-end comes back up.

>all those have to be awful because I was proven wrong

How about you emulate deez nutz!

How about bob deinterlacing on a CRT? Thinking of hooking my OSSC up to my VGA monitor.

If you have one of those why would you be an ass and not simply rip it and put it online?

Haven't tried that yet but it should probably be better because it doesn't do the sampling and holding that LCD TVs do. It would look closer to a regular SD CRT

Don't worry, friend. One day you'll become an adult and stop playing those shitty old consoles too.

There's also the issue where companies remove or edit stuff out, such as the changes made to the Star Wars movies, music removed from the Super Mario Show due to licensing, etc.

user, electric and acoustic guitars make different sounds.

Because people don't think everyday about what VHS tapes they keep at home and they don't investigate if it's nearly lost media. Actually I myself possess a rare cartoon film on VHS I had to orded from USA to my third world home country and pay some guy with 50mhz recorder to rip it on digital memory. Haven't uploaded it anywhere because I bet nobody cares or remembers this cartoon in the first place.

Yes, also this. The problem is even bigger because I realize burgers think murrica is the whole planet. If something was localized and released on VHS or just boradcasted on TV once and nobody is interested in rerelease or nobody even knows where the master copy is, you are lucky if you even can track down the original english release.

What size is that PVM? Been looking for one but I don't want those huge motherfuckers in case I have lug the bastard. It looks perfect in size in the picture.

That looks like a 14 inch one.

Input delay is a big deal for me. If you try to emulate something that requires precise timing you're not going to have as good as a time on a shitty LCD and emulator because the game has a bigger edge now.
You basically have to relearn all of the timings because if you do preform button inputs when you did on a CRT, you'd be off by enough for it to matter at least a handful of times, which eventually annoys me.
>inb4 good i like more challenge
That's like excusing bugs in games because they make it harder. There's no reason to intentionally handicap yourself if you don't have to.
I'll admit if you don't play old games a lot its probably not worth the investment, but if you do I don't see why you wouldn't look into it.

it can't be done

I legitimately can't tell if you are so stupid to believe CRTs can explode. The way image is drawn inside the CRT creates literally zero pressure. In fact, the reason why tube screens are dying out is because the electron guns are going cold. Still I doubt any of you have any idea about CRTs other than them making the image blurry.

Not him but there are a number of shows where the remaster is an objective downgrade. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is infamous for the 4:3-->16:9 auto framing, which cuts out entire people, or in at least one case directly shows the set crew, mic camera and all, in a very noticeable scene.

All streaming services like Netflix have used the "remaster". A similar complaint shows up with Star Wars and the special editions vs original, where the original cuts are only available nowadays in Chinese knockoff VHS-->DVD copies.

Fuck no.
I based Dreamcast off what I've heard others say about it, but N64 requires lots of messing around, can freeze, and has thousands of small bugs for each and every game. The fact that speed runners made their own emulator just to optimize a single N64 game says a lot.

Based retro station user. Do that kind of special CRTs look much better than domestic CRTs or they are a meme?

>tfw threw CRT tv away because it was PAL shit

I'll take poorly coded emulators over shitty 50HZ

They look better than cheap consumer grade TVs for sure, but more importantly they are built to last, for places like TV stations and medical facilities where they are expected to always be on.

At least it's well taken care of and not one of the piss yellow ones from smoker homes

The yellow you see on these consoles are usually just a result of the kind of plastic they used on some of them, corroding over time due to air and/or sunlight.

I would unironically watch "choirs of Czechoslovakia", but I'm a weirdo who likes opera and shit

I'm not anti-emulator and you should emulate some games where physical copies are too expensive, but I feel that a big part of retro gaming is using the original hardware to get an authentic experience. That means playing Star Fox 64 on a real Nintendo 64 with the Rumble Pak on a CRT

Here’s an extreme example. The plastic used on some parts of the system was a different kind that hasn’t yellowed. Still, it can be solved with retrobrite.

Sony trinitrons are generally considered to be by far the best CRTs. Especially the PVMs that were used as security monitors and also in television studios. The technology was licensed off to other TV producers as well so, not all TVs with the trinitron tech are actually sony.

Awesome.

The yellowing only happens on later production systems because of a fire retardant mixed into the paint. The retardant causes the plastic to yellow and become brittle. I've got an early snes with no yellowing.

Is there a CRT buying guide anywhere? What should I be looking for in a CRT?

What about early flatscreens from the early 2000's, wasn't there some obscure display tech some of them had that was arguably better then modern displays but it never caught on?

what's the name for this emulator?

I'd just get something standard definition with a curved screen and component inputs.

Yeah but a 15 dollar idea twice is like 100 dollars

I've got a big CRT in my room that I play games and watch old anime on.

Thank you friend

Don't buy a flatscreen, they tend to have bad geometry. Don't get a HD CRT. Look for good inputs (s-video and component) if you're not in a SCART country.

Baki the grappler

I've found with high enough quality inputs, how it visually looks normally is less of a factor. I'd say what's more important is the other factors like somewhat smoother looking motion, easy compatibility for consoles, interlacing being handled well, no input lag and old consoles looking good without having to buy an upscaling box.

Better than LCDs in my opinion but I've been told I'm just biased or have been using shitty LCDs with washed out colors. But honestly I don't see how a digital approximation of an RGB signal set with a backlight can really compete to pure RGB electron beams illuminating physical phosphor receivers on your screen. That said, the vast majority of CRTs have some degree of light bleed and depending on their age or bad capacitors they may require you to up the contrast or brightness, both of which negatively effect stuff like black levels
