Nobody actually enjoys gaming like this.
I love it, but 14" screens are a bit too small for my liking.
>>750210352I spent the past year pretty much exclusively playing ps2 on a 30in crt
>>750210352If by like this you mean on a tiny tv, then yeah. If you mean secret of mana and games like it, also yeah.
WE'RE GOING BACK TO POTATOES TO GET MY FUCKING POWER WRIST...ASSHOLE
>>750210352I tried going back to crt a few years ago and my head hurt so bad after like an hour that I never touched it again
>>750210352CRTs can be good but a big one will need an industrial crane to move.
It’s not bad but an OSSC is better
>>750211231SIT AWAY FROM THE SCREEN, JASONJASON GET AWAY FROM THE SCREENYOURE GOING TO RUIN YOUR EYES JASON
>>750210352My tv was bigger.
>let’s be honestOkay, you first.
If I already had the setup, I would enjoy it. But I’m not going out of my way to buy and set it up especially not at the price I imagine CRTs and the original console hardware costs nowadays
>>750210352I already lived it. I don’t want to keep replaying old games, I did that in the 00s.
I had a SOULFUL gaming setup up until the early 2010's. An incredibly dusty entertainment center with a 25inch CRT and a dozen video game consoles all hooked up with A/V switch boxes, but it became more and more pointless to keep all of that hooked up as I became a PC gamer who could emulate everything. Now my old consoles are neatly packed away in my closet and I just have a SOULLESS minimalist setup with just a computer and three monitors.. The one console I still have hooked up is a Switch.
>>750211616What are you talking about?
>>750210352Nah, games up to gen 5 look better on 14 inches CRT,
>>750210352I prefer gaming like that because modern television are garbage that have input delay.
>>750210352>Nobody actually enjoys gaming like this.i wouldn't enjoy gaming either if i was playing secret of mana
>>750215698fuck you I liked it
>>750211145old meme but it checks out
I homebrewed my Wii to get a bunch of emulators and then a CRT and got to watch my gf play Link to the Past and Chrono Trigger (among other random things like some GBA Hamtaro game). It was a lot of fun and very soulful.
>>750210352>played all my n64 games on a TV that bigI have fond memories of mischief makers.

>>750211471>>750211231CRTs emit ionizing radiation so it is actually unhealthy to sit close to them

>>750221452>I could lose ten pounds for sureyou could stand to lose 50 pounds, fatty.
>>750221452Unless at least 80% of that is muscle weight, please consider fixing your diet. Even small changes like drinking less soda or going for a 30 minutes walk everyday will help.Seriously man, you don't want to fuck up your body like this.
>can't maintain healthy BMI and eat a 16" pizza by yourself every weakngmi
I love CRT TVs, but I fucking hate the buzzing of the cathode tubes now that I'm not used to hearing it every day
>>750210352I have two 29 inch CRT's with component.I just got a 14 inch with composite.I absolutely love it.>>750211394I can move both my 29 inchers by myself. You must be absolutely piss weak.
>>75021035214" are good in a pinch but with a 30" you are set forever
>>750210352>Orion shittubeYeah I wouldn't like gaming like that either.
I feel bad for anybody that played on a CRT smaller than 27".
>>750220672That's just provably wrong. If you have dual monitors and ones 60hz and the other's 144/240/360/whatever, you can see how sluggish the cursor is on your 60hz one moving back to the other one. Where do you come up with these arbitrary number metrics?
>>750210352I have enjoyed exactly that game, probably more than any other game I have ever played since.
>>750223096is bait you retard. is a about smoothness. even 60hz with no lag is the same shit.
>>750223298your post isn't even written coherently so I'll just immediately register whatever you said as false

>>750210352crts were the shit!
I do but it costs too much fucking money.
>>750224652you mean the electricity usage, right? or are you trying to buy old crt's? You had the entirety of the 2010's to snag an old tube TV for free. Plenty of people were just giving them away when they moved over to flat screens.
>>750219629Jesus Christ, end your life. You sound irredeemably miserable and it's entirely all self inflicted.
>>750210352Yeah I need a 20" screen minimum. Thankfully I have a KV-21FT1E.
>>750219629God damn you sound like such a flaming homo. An underaged one at that. It sounds like you're trying to impress random anons by being the gayest cunt possible., you almost cut me with your edge, nigger.
>>750219489>not playing john madden while watching footballAre you even trying?
>>750224652You can have mine for 80€ once I find a stereo WEGA set.
>>750210352CRT are ugly asf.
>>750210352I use shaderGlass for games pre ~2012 and it's been great. Makes the hud and the visuals look great on a high resolution screen
are there CRTs with component ports?
>>750223298it's not even bait was just a joke
>>750224839I can still find them cheap in my area
>>750225587Yes and even with HDMI ports. If you're in Europe they are a bit more rare due to SCART being preferred.
>>750210352I do, but only if there are proper red and white audio cables for stereo sound. Dunno how the nig who took OP's pic could possibly enjoy mono with only the left (white) side cable. Disgusting. Fucking tardmaxxing.But yeah. I do occasionally game on our CRT.>Elemental Gearbolt because the guncons need CRT, and no, I don't feel like buying one of those $100+ lightgins for HD TVs.>Ehrgeiz because using an upscaler with HDMI makes each cutscene start with a black screen for 3 seconds.>N64 since I rarely use it and I'm too lazy to re-setup my composite cables into the switcher.Anyway, I'll use my HD TV for everything else.
>>750225016This image makes me laugh every time
>>750225823It's very likely a mono set so it really doesn't matter if the game is set to mono.
>>750221452I’m 6’1”, my weight has crept up to 170, then 175, now 180. I’ve started running/biking again because I feel pretty fat, anon.

CRTs are almost worth it now just for not being smart TVs. Even if you're not nostalgic about them it's still nice to just have a TV that doesn't constantly show you ads and do a bunch of shit that literally nobody wants their TV to do.
>>750226179>TV that doesn't constantly show you ads and do a bunch of shit that literally nobody wants their TV to doThe TV cannot show you ads if you disable its internet access.
>>750226232Believe me I now. I disconnected mine forever ago but even that doesn't stop it from doing shit like automatically turning peripherals on when you turn on the TV itself. The whole thing is designed to be intrusive and to prevent you from opting out of its features. Old TVs are just simple and do what you want them to do with no fuss.
>>750219489>niggerball in the backgroundWay to ruin the comfy
>>750226471I know *Smartphones are dogshit technology too.
>>750226471>but even that doesn't stop it from doing shit like automatically turning peripherals on when you turn on the TV itselfWhy are tech illiterates like this. >woah my TV is infested with fucking spirits its turning shit on on its own Must be horrifying living with the tech literacy of my fucking 70 year old mother. Turn HDMI-CEC off RETARD.
>>750210352>small ass TV, component and only one audio channelyeah I'm inclined to agree. my CRT is pretty big and uses both audio inputs and S-video. much better experience.
>>750210352>Nobody enjoys thisWhere is he
>>750226584Look at this fucking prophet who can see what kind of TV I have without even being told. You stupid silly faggot. Literally anything to be a contrarian.
>>750227276You described what HDMI CEC does and that shit has been supported by peripherals since the mid-00s. Your TV supports HDMI CEC. The fucking PLAYSTATION 3 supports CEC. You're just a retarded senile fuck when it comes to tech.
>>750210352I do.
>>750227414You're a big TV. 34"?
>>750227395Dude you are the definition of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
>>750227414I get NES/SNES authenticity
>>750227604No wonder nobody pointed this out before me, you seem like a total faggot.
>>750227414>>750227654And 5th gen and 6th gen >>750227521Something like that. It was definitely fun carrying it to the second floor.
>>750210352You have to understand that tech heads and collectors aren't mutually exclusive with people who actually PLAY video games. Half these motherfuckers don't get through even 30% of their backlogs.
>>750227735You're the one confidently screeching nonsense. You learned a little bit about TVs and think you're smart when the thing you're talking about varies significantly based on make and model. And despite being demonstrably wrong you keep going anyway because you literally can't stomach being wrong. You're not just stupid. You're emotionally weak too.
>>750227052>composite*FTFY
>>750228013you right, I always mix those damn input types up.
>>750227916Not my fault I buy more games than I can play. Of the previous 6 games I've completed 5 were played on my CRT setup.
>>750228045Think of component in line with RGB
>>750210352Secret of Naps
>>750227916Well considering my backlog is non existent and I just play what I feel likeNot really, playing through Shining Force Neo right now
>>750228092It is your fault. Why the fuck are you buying them?Idiots like you and the whole grading scene are why retro prices are way up for fucking nothing.At this point, I feel like people who finish dozens of games on emulators are way more legit that assclowns who horde old physical copies and hardware and barely ever touch it.
If autism wouldn't compel me every direction at once, which also leads me to modern games, I would be more than happy chilling in bed just playing retro stuff on my CRT. I probably have a few years' worth of games I still want to play on there if I were to tackle them all in one go, so it's more likely it really bites the dust first, sadly.
>>750211467I have less disrespect for FPGAfags than OSSCfags
>>750228239I buy games that I see for sale cheap regardless if I plan on playing them right away. I do have a list of games I specifically look out for and don't buy on impulse. I don't care about affecting the market at large, much like how I don't give a shit about my effect on global warming. During the past month I've completed two games on my N64, 2 Famicom games, one Gameboy game (on my Gamecube via Gameboy Player) and one PC game so I do interact with my hardware as much as I can. >you should never own more hardware than you can interact with at onceOn that you can off.
>>750228460Why? With one you're paying for an emulator but the OSSC is a very cost effective line doubler. It's some of the most inoffensive hardware around.
>>750219489comfy as fuck photo anonfuck the haters
>>750210352CRT is outdated garbage and only trannies cling to it.
>>750215459Should I get a 13 inch sylvania crt? It’s cheap and the tube looks very bright and low hours. But it only has composite. I’d like to use it on my ps2
>>750223438>I would look like I had cancer at 160 lbs lolI really fucking hate when other Europeans go after our yank bros like this, but I have to ask on this occasion. do Americans really
>>750210352Looks comfy.
>>750228660Feels good that so many cunts get filtered
>>750228567most OSSCs I've seen are in the ballpark of a couple hundreds to just have a less shit picture on an HD screen, if you care that much about playing on the original hardware just get the CRT instead of polishing a turd otherwise emulate and save yourself the troubleFPGAs are retarded as well but I could see niche cases where they might do something for someone, won't catch me dead arguing for it thoughto each their own but I just can't see a world where I'd want such a thing and I can barely see why anyone genuinely, consciously would
>>750226179>Even if you're not nostalgic about them it's still nice to just have a TV that doesn't constantly show you ads and do a bunch of shit that literally nobody wants their TV to do.what happened to tvs? My lcd display is a 2013 generic one
WHAT'S WITH ALL THE FUCKING SECRET OF MANA THREADS?!
>>750229070I bought the OSSC to play retro games on a 31 kHz CRT. It also does alot of cool stuff like sync on green via SCART. You're not fully appreciating the thing and blaming the users. There's also less reasons to own a CRT with the OLED advancements of today, I can understand people wanting to play real hardware on a HDTV with real hardware and the OSSC is a much more cost effective choice than a Retrotink 4k.
>>750227414You may not like it but this what peak performance looks like.
>>750229298It's a secret
>>750210352I got a 27' Trinitron for $40 recently. Was a pain in the ass getting it into my basement but retro games do look beautiful on it.
>>750229379I am a mere man anon, do not kneel to me. All the things of this world rot away.
>>750229535shuuttt uuuuuupppp
>>750229535FUCK YOU ()/^
ive been wondering, if you use one of those empty carts you can put roms on like an everdrive for the genesis is that the same as playing an original cart? or does the rom cart emulate it on the hardware
>>750221452Judging by your pic and diet you have never worked out in your life. That is all fat. Sure you could pull of being 190 maybe even 200 if you had a decent amount of muscle but you don't.
It's awesome and nostalgic for me because I was actually there. Nothing fancy, just composite on a 32 inch Panasonic with a big mug of coffee and a comfy chair to sit in. If I didn't have to waste away in the wage cage I'd just play vidya on it all day
>>750230116hey little boy. you sound really cute, you should come over and play video games with me. I have hundreds! and yes, using a flashcart like an Everdrive is basically the same as playing a legitimate cartridge. It has the data and the console is still doing all the heavy lifting.
>>750210352I disagree.
>>750230116It's functionally exactly the same in 99.99% of cases except for the fact that you're not switching cartridges. Some of them even let you go back to the menu with some button combos, also you can play most romhacks and the like on original hardware with them which is neat
>>750230116>is that the same as playing an original cartAssuming it isn't Virtua Racing or a Sega CD game, there's zero difference from a real cartridge. Cartridges with no coprocessors are identical, Everdrives that emulate simple RAM or storage drives like the Turbografx-CD are also practically identical, Everdrives that need to emulate coprocessors like the Super FX or the X68000 in the Sega CD might differ, but you'd be hardpressed to tell a difference either way.
>>750228660EVERYTHING I DON'T LIKE IS TRANNY CODED REEEEE
>>750227414I wish I had a stand like the middle CRT is on. mine is a bit too tall and the under compartment can only really hold two consoles, MAYBE 3 if I put something flatter on top of my PS2. the cabinent is really nice for my controllers though, I had them all sitting in a plastic bin in my storage area in my apartment. ideally I'll eventually get wider, shorter stand that can fit all my consoles.
>>750211467I tried using an OSSC but it was over my head (especially with the whole "backporch" thing that isn't even the same for each game or console).Now I use a RetroTink 5x. I just need something plug-n-play for this sort of thing.
>>750227414you have every tendie console
how about this?
>>750234534
>>750234534as long you can avoid the horrible HDMI digital decoder. most of those tv are excelent for HD games. not so much for retro.
>>750232752Anon, you really should add some shelves to that cabinet.
I'm from the old school. I shouldn't have to explain myself
>>750234703eh I could, but if I'm gonna spend any kind of money on any kind of stand, it's gonna be on an entirely different one. I just nabbed this from my neighbor's front lawn when they were tossing some old furniture.
>>750234640this one doesnt have HDMI at all, is a standard SD TV
I had a 20'' flatscreen CRT from 2020 till 2022Literally found it resting near a streetlamp around my neighborhoodCarried it till my house (15 minutes away), amd then my arms were aching for one week lolI had to donate it because had to move to a house with no closed garageI had good moments with it, but I do not regretI use a plasma display
>>750234817that's better but what's the max resolution? 1080i or 720x480, 800x600?
>>750219489>negro felon league
I fell for the CRT memes and dug up an old TV and NES from the garage, set them up and was excited to play some Zelda 2. After like 5 minutes I had to stop because the high pitched whine made my ears bleed. Never again.
>>750210352>people couldn't possibly enjoy using tech older than I am!OP hurt itself in its confusion
>>750235203Nah, it’s not that loud at allIt’s probably failing and needs new caps if it’s loud
>>750234825those bezels are hideous
>>750224652They are free if you just look for a little bit.
>>750214004It means OP was dishonest with his question in the first place. Sometimes I forget some of your niggers are actually retarded
>>750234534lookin good?
>>750234534Anon, I don't want to scare you but there's a spooky face right beneath your phone.
>>750219489My family had 3 of those TVs. I kinda wish we kept one of them these days.
>>750210352Seems comfy, but seems like the kind of thing i would enjoy for a day or two then jump back to my smart tv.
>>750210352It's pretty cool.You lose resolution (not a problem with oldass 240p games), and win motion clarity and colors.Also you don't even need to be a collectorfag, i'm using a rapi3 lakka for this.Also it looks like shit on photos if compared to the real deal.Colors are really strong live.Of course, partially is due my screens being basically office tier LED panels that gets absolutely mogged.
I found this thing five minutes from my house on the curb. I had a super station one so I said what the hell. lets check it out. I kinda like playing nes, snes, and genesis on it. and I use to think anyone using 13" crt today was insane. but its actually really nice sitting close and having the entire screen in view.
>>750229636>27'That's nothing. I solo'd a 32" Toshiba AF into a second floor apartment.
>>750245834>>750229636I did the same shit, except mine is a 32" mitsubishi. was sore for hours cus I don't really lift, but I fuckin did it. slid that shit across the floor once I got it up the stairs though. forgot how beautiful DKC2 can be on a proper screen.
>>750234919nigga it's a TV resolutions are for fags
does this TV look good? I just want a 13 inch for my desk. Thinking of going and grabbing it as a reward for all the bullshit i'm going through
>>750246109depending on the max resolution the mask can vary a lot. some widescreen ones don't even support 240p correctly
>>750210598>14 inches still isn't enough to satisfy white womenFucking hell
>>750219904That's just what your parents told you to get you away from the telly when their soaps were on
>>750243789I wish i'd kept the absurdly sized CRT my gran had for some reason but those bastards were heavy as fuck and hard to store properly
>>750210352I miss old school TVs or are they just called CRTs?
>>750210352crts are fucking lit you niggerfaggot
>>750210352true, crts are so blurry, who tf enjoys this shit
>>750210352idk m8 i'm using a mid daewoo from 2002 and it beats the shit out of any crt shader
>>75021059827 - 32" is ideal
>>750210352I do
>>750212109You sound like a KEKED FAGGOT, anon. Sorry about your terminal case of the gay.
>>750210352SoM is unironically a pretty bad game
