>>12241439That would only happen if (You) were an absolute tard who didn't know how to screw it into the TV.
>coaxialDo zoomzooms really?
>>12241447Nope. Motherfucker can be tight as shit on both ends, but more often than not you will need to prop something under the wire in an odd angle or everything turns to blurry ass shit.
>>12241436>>no fucking around with composhit cablesOP is too stupid to put three color coded plugs into three color coded holes. Literally dumber than a toddler.
>>12241436Yo. I use RF to a composite converter because the CRT I'm using is from 1980 and lacks composite connectors and I get and enjoy all of the:>red drive bleeding (it's very soulful)>slight ghosting (more soul)>slight video noise (gives it a more alive feel)We're the best, OP, don't forget it because we're making it look and sound how it was, not how hipsters think it was.

>>12241436
>>12241519>Domesday capture comparisonCheater.
>>12241469Nope. Anon who has multiple 2nd gen consoles and microcomputers hooked up to tvs via RF. It works when it does, but the cables have always been finicky shits, plus the chance of interference from other devices shitting up the quality even more. >>12241479Nope. We aint talking a little blurriness, we are talking a completely unusable signal rapidly flying off the edges of the screen until the cable is adjusted just right.
>>12241454That box clearly takes a coaxial cable from the computer.
>>12241436Our huge old school Zenith console tv only had coax, so we stuck with RF until around 1995 when we got a newer one that had comp.I was still under 10 and my brother usually hooked it up, I don't think I even knew there were av outs on the NES until we got that tv. Didn't care, I was having a fuckload of fun playing it and renting a new game every weekend.
/vr/ is the only board that will willingly advocate for lower quality products. The sad thing is that it wasn't like this 5 years ago, this is just all the poorfags crying sour grapes now that the market has priced them out
You can daisychain RF boxes into each other to hook up multiple systems at once without needing a separate switcher. But we gave that up and now everyone has to buy video switchers. They have played us for absolute fools.
RF is the soul of the video game, concepts like "pixels" and "resolution" lose all meaning and only the essence of the game remains
>>12242270seems like you're the one crying over others being satisfied with antiquated hardware.
>>12241608This is sounding like you had a television with a vertical hold issue.
I wish there was a magic box that I could plug displayport into that would add rf artifacts
>>12243007>I wish there was a magic box that I could plug displayport into that would add rf artifactsI hear ya. There is a part of me that misses analogue signals. Digital is just too rigid and full of lag. Analogue has an organic beauty to it.
>>12243007>I wish there was a magic box that I could plug displayport into that would add rf artifactsIt's called a cathode ray tube television, anon.
>>12243363How do you kids keep getting dumber?
>>12243007This can be done by doing digital to analog to digital conversion. So you'd buy a displayport to composite converter, then a composite to displayport converter, and chain them together.
>>12243989>adds 27 years of latency
>>12241436Most CRTs, unless third world mong branded, have an S-video port. 8-16bit is truly magnificent on S-video. Component when Saturn, Dreamcast, PlayStation, Playstation 2, XBox, GameCube. Simple as.
>>12243992top lel
>>12243994>Most CRTs, unless third world mong branded, have an S-video portNo.
>>12243994>Most CRTs, unless third world mong branded, have an S-video portNot true in any country
>>12244001>>12244012Upon looking into this, I stand corrected. My Sony Trinitron has S-video. I guess I'm lucky, but it's heavy as a mutha. Sorry bros.
>>12243994In the USA only the big TVs had S-Video. After like 1999 or so all TVs started having composite in. USA is RF Nation
>>12244026I wish it was true. S-video does get a lot more common the higher end the TV was. Saw it on RCAs as far back as 80s wooden console sets.
>>12243994>Most people, unless older than me, have never plugged in a tv.
>>12241436>>no fucking around with composhit cables...are you telling me plugging 3 color coded cables into 3 color coded ports is too mentally taxing on you? do you also get stressed out when confronted with 3rd grade math problems?
>>12243994Have fun playing ps1 on component
>>12244556I do. Love me ps2
>>12244816How did you manage to get component working on ps1? I'm referring to both ps1 and ps2 consoles
Am I going to kill myself if I try and add a component port to my early 80s TV set? I can't stand using rf only
>>12244946>Am I going to kill myself if I try and add a component port to my early 80s TV set?Yes. Don't do it. Case in point. I almost opened up my favored set for a non-critical reason. I forget about it. Years later I find a video on yt that proves my set is a deathtrap if opened due to an odd manufacturing design; the entire chassis becomes live if it's still plugged in. No ground was going to save me. I had no idea they made TVs like that in 1980.Beware. Besides, RF is comfy.
RF is soulfully shit. I love it.
>>12244952Why the hell would you work on a set that's still plugged in? That's for testing, not for modifications and repairs.
NOOOO THE PIXELS HAVE TO BE RAZOR SHARP I WANT TO SEE THE DITHERING
>>12245021There are reasons, like say you got a potentiometer that needs cleaning because decades of use have made it stick inside, it'd be difficult to do if it was off. It sounds bad-and I don't recommend it-but one should be able to work on a CRT that's plugged in provided that they are grounded and not touching anything live. Again, the entire internal chassis of a CRT should NOT become live and all manufacturers ceased that unwise design sometime after 1980.
>>12241467The video noise waves used to drive me fucking crazy. Thats why I dont give a fuck about RGB scart, I'm not trying to recreate the nostalgia. Fuck that
>>12245050I agree that caution is necessary when working with high voltage, but blasting pots with deoxit doesn't need any power at all. Worst case scenario you can unstick immobilized parts with alcohol or automotive acetone.
>>12241469>"Cooper, we need a steady videosignal on this wiretap. Get on it Cooper!"
>>12242310>the image gets so noisy you can't make out any detail, this is so SOULFUL
I've been looking for a CRT and the only one I've found recently is an RF only model for $100. Should I just wait for something better or get it? I know what to expect from older stuff like the NES and Genesis on RF but how bad is it for PS1 PS2 and Xbox games?
This thread reminded me of how my dad strictly warned me that if I messed around with the back of the TV without knowing what I was doing, I would blow it up and he would teach me the right way to do it when I was older. I believed him for years until a cable needed fixing while my dad was asleep and I went behind the TV nervously, only to find out it was the simplest shit in the world. I felt really stupid.I don't really know what the purpose of lying to me like that was considering he didn't limit my time playing games at all and I'd have to ask him to plug stuff in for me any time I needed it.
>>12244857the literal state
>>12245093It needs power if you want to know if it's worked before you put a case back onto a TV.
>>12245218I'd wait, that's an insane price. I got a 27" with s-video for $0.
>>12245498i got a 32" WEGA with component AND s-video for $0.beat that!
>>12245241Would you want someone who doesn't know the first thing about anything randomly unplugging the cables from the back of your PC? Even potentially jamming things in the wrong holes? Your dad probably overestimated the risks and underestimated a child's ability to figure it out. People were sometimes told things like that you could damage a monitor by attempting to display an unsupported video mode.
I used RF through the N64 era.
>>12245218Find an old person throwing one out. Ask your parents or their friends. I got a 19" Toshiba VCR/DVD TV for free this way
>>12245509I was using RF on a 13" TV with a PS2 as late as 2008 or 2009.The dark areas of MGS3 were hard to see, but otherwise, I didn't have many issues
>>12245625>dude just commit illegal broadcasting50 years in prison
>>12245629It's even more serious now since most of the old TV bandwidths were chopped up and sold off to cell companies
>>12245629>50 years?>it can't be that bad>look it up>hogging the wrong frequencies fucking kills peopleNever mind then. This might be the first time I've seen a post get removed for promoting illegal activity
>>12241467>>slight ghosting (more soul)This looks fucking awesome playing Pong Sports, the little trail that the ball leaves is so cool. Same with Breakout and other similar games. OP is right, RF rules.
Revision to my prior post about OTA television being composite video.Every analog television can decode composite video, as that is the baseband signal for analog OTA SD television. However, it's still RF modulated if you use an in-home transmitter.So really the option is to mod the television to interrupt the signal chain and inject your own composite video signal. This should not be very difficult on many televisions. Easier than RGB modding. But of course it is a CRT so care must be taken.
>>12242270>now that the market has priced them outBrother my Atari was like 70 bucks. Most of the carts are like three dollars. You really don't know what you're talking about.>lower quality productsIt looks cool. That there is quality.
>>12243945He's not misunderstanding your question, your question itself s just stupid. Get a real TV and you don't need some silly "converter" type thing.
>>12245496Then power it on after working on it but before putting the case on. Work on unpowered systems, test them after. Takes longer but is safer.
>>12245503I got a free 32" JVC i'art with a free gamecube
>>12241436SCART is great for PS1, best output that exists for it, especially with a HDMI adapter
>>12245676I didn't ask any question, you ridiculous underage new faggot.
>>12245768>console known for its extensive use of dithering>IT'S MEANT TO BE PLAYED AS SHARP AS POSSIBLEgo away
>>12245807You are an absolute retarded zoomer subhuman, leave my board, now
>>12245413So no you can't then. Thanks for confirming
>>12244857The PS2 natively supports component output. Just put the ps1 game in and play.
