Came to the comments to say the same thing. Cool collection, but invest a few bucks on some cable ties my dude.
Nostalgia usually makes you tune out stuff like this. I'm surprised there are so few adapters and splitters in that spaghetti
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !crtgaming@lemmy.world
When I'm at home sitting around thousands of dollars of gaming hardware, I'm going to use that.
When I'm out and about with less processing power, then I retro game.
I play games for the games. I might have a preference on the type of TV and shit, but that's all personal preference. If the game is good, it's good on either one.
I prefer handhelds by far. I have a family and it is easier to get everyone in the same room with handhelds than it is with the TV being monopolized.
I started the one on Lemmy.world, but I also hang out in the one you linked on kbin! Honestly wherever is cool as long as you’re hanging out with other CRT fans and posting or admiring CRTs!
Don’t worry, we can’t hear it anymore. Or at least, my friends can’t. Because they didn’t wear earplugs when they should have. Get off my lawn.
The dream is a handheld that can output 240p. Preferably with the ability to easily output it via HDMI so I can use an HDMI to Component adapter instead of Composite like most handhelds that do have support for TV Out do.
The Retroid Pocket 2+ does 480p output, and that's the closest I've ever seen. It does work pretty well on a CRT with the HDMI to component adapter.
Playing Atari2600 on a device the size of my phone isn't like the old days. But them again I dont have Coke in a glass bottle, good music on the radio or a drive-in movie either.
I do get a kick out of showing my 6 year old the video games from when I was a kid. That look on her face when she is baffled we even call these video games 😆
Sounds like you need to get a Mexican Coke, enjoy it while you go for a drive to your nearest drive-in. If it's a distance that'll give you time to channel surf. They all still exist!
I recently bought an old 13 inch Commodore CRT and it's just amazing. I can never go back to playing Amiga games on a LCD screen.
