Saw another thread in the catalogue asking about retro streaming setups, and I figured I'd be an attention-seeking faggot and make a new thread since I just recently rigged my battlestation for this exact purpose.My friend loaned me his copy of Lunar SSSC on the condition I streamed it for him, and I actually had all the components to make it work on hand—the PVM has an analog signal pass-through for the purpose of daisy-chaining monitors together from a single source, so I spliced some spare cables to send that to my XRGB mini, which upscales to 720p HDMI output to a USB capture card and a hand-me-down laptop. The only thing I actually needed to buy was the cheapo headset to chat.Thanks for looking, and please share your battlestations! LCD, CRT, original hardware, or emulation, it's all good!
>>12071720And an old pic of my whole setup from years ago. It's basically still the same. I have a couple of other displays I use, sometimes even a 40" LCD, which is why I have the Framemeister.
>>12071720>>12071752cool rig, love the audio gear
>>12071720>>12071752soulless
>>12071752>sometimes even a 40" LCDbut why?
>>12071881thanks, I'm a huge audiofag. I need to find a better set of speakers, but I literally dug these out of a dumpster, so I'm not complaining. Buying retro audio shit is getting to be as bad as the retro vidya game market. Boomers want crazy prices for the cheapest chinese garbage from 20 years ago, these days.
>>12072004>Buying retro audio shit is getting to be as bad as the retro vidya game marketYou gotta learn to shop right. I bought two for-parts Quad 405 power amps for well under a 100 euros each, and managed to get a single working unit out of them (one had amp boards that had been modded to hell for gig use while the other had a de-laminated transformer). It's a simple design that even an amateur like me can repair so I've basically got a good quality stereo amp for life now for a fraction of its going price.Also got a TDA1541-based CD player for 20 euros plus shipping because it was an obscure Marantz model that at the time was hard to find specs for on Google.Gotta be careful though, some stuff that looks attractive can be a really bad deal. High-end manufacturers like Sony in the 70's used plenty of space-age tech like Freon heatpipes that are basically impossible to repair now, and plenty of components from the 80's are filled to the brim with neoprene glue meaning the whole thing shortcircuits the moment it's plugged in if you don't deepclean it first.
>>12071720I have been on the lookout for a bargain on a 12-14'' CRT, but the N64 is the only system that has an unacceptable image on my OLED. The Analogue 3D may solve that problem if it ever shows up.
>>12072124Classy. Yeah the N64 is a bitch on anything that isn't a crt. And even then it really heavily varies by game, in my experience. Mario Tennis looks oddly clean, like it's almost bypassing the internal blurring process.
Weird specific question.i wanna connect my Neogeo MVS board to OSSC and then to capture card.but people on internet says it gives too much voltage and breaks my OSSC,if i use hydra or some other Scart switcher will it regulate the voltages?
>>12072124>>12072386I use retroscaler 2x (the cheap knockoff one) with s-video in and hdmi out. It looks pretty good on my HDTV.
>>12072446I may have to give one of those a try. I've been ignoring the whole scaler thing because my AVR converted analog video to HDMI, but I just got a newer receiver that does not do the converting. I like the idea of composite/S-Video/component all on the same box. I could hook my Xbox, N64, and laserdisc player all to the same thing.
>>12072957It's a shame it doesn't do VGA for dreamcast though. I'm not sure what would be able to take every input type without doing some bullshit to BNC connectors and one of those extron matrixes.
>>12072964Yeah, luckily I do already have a decent VGA to HDMI adapter for that. The VGA port and other analog inputs is one big reasons I miss my plasma TV.
