/vr/ - Retro Games

Here's an EGM page showing off what RGB looks like on the Genesis. Reviewers in general played their stuff on the best equipment possible. The Famicom in particular had quite a few specialized models that supported S-Video, like the Sharp C-1. They wouldn't have made stuff like that if no one cared. Most people didn't give a shit yes, but again that's no different from how most people don't play PC games on maxed out settings.

OP asked for "correctly and in the best way" which can differ per person and per display, so I figured that the many adjustable options of the OSSC may be the one of the better choices at this time.

My last component set had a large green spot which discolors everything in the lower middle section which was annoying to look at, so it was thrown out. Now there are no CRTs in my area.

I'm already invested. Have many cables for the systems I have. I actually like the RGB look, if a large BVM were available here, I have saved a couple thousand for one, but I still lack the room and vehicle to transport one at this time.

I work in food service. The official title is Food Artisan Team Member, but I have to do the cooking and all the cleaning.

I really hope so. My CRTs can't last. I just hope they are affordable in the $100 range. I hope more modern efficient techniques at producing higher quality goods can push the prices down so I can enjoy them.

It may be difficult to believe, but I can play games and get (you)s.

I work 8 hours a day 4 days a week, because in the USA full time is defined by the employer. Under 20 hours, is typically considered "part time" and over 40 hours a week qualifies for overtime pay. My employer schedules me for 4 days a week, like all the others at my workplace, in case an extra shift is needed but then it will still not cross that overtime threshold.

I have nothing against full-time. In fact I want 40 hours a week, since the extra $40 of take-home pay for that 5th day a week is very needed. The minimum wage in the USA is $7.25USD/hr and I get paid $8.50/hr meaning just around $5/hr take-home pay after taxes. It is not enough to cover housing, utilities, clothing, meals, means of transportation to work, and the joy of videogames to unwind from the stresses of work.

No disabilities, no mental conditions to report. I hope that paints a picture of what it is like in the middle of nowhere USA.

Yes, but I did buy the RGB cables, JP21 spec sadly is the unpopular choice, even back then. It was an article in EGM which convinced me to explore this option (the pic is from Mega Play, which was their side magazine taking only the Genesis coverage only from EGM proper, but the article is still the same with similar screenshots).

I sadly did not experience the Commodore 64. I do enjoy seeing/hearing the demoscene works; I always explored the additional executable files from my bootlegs to find nice animations and displays of tech manipulation in those hacking group "intros" ... great stuff. Again, I was (and still am) on a VGA monitor and would see the latter, but get they were trying to go for the former. I suppose my old mind would mentally blur the image and imagine the curvature and shading.

Personal preference of mine just to prefer sharp pixels. Scanlines are not my thing when playing (or at least very thin and fine such that they are not noticed), but that may be because I cannot get/afford a BVM/PVM. I think those filters intended to look like arcade monitors are kind of silly. If authenticity is the goal, why not add a burnt in Pac-Man screenshot, maybe some cigarette burns, and magnetize the sides and warp the colors for the unshielded speakers nearby in a few American styled wood arcade cabinets. Sillyness aside, I do believe you are on point with your post.

I have not tried VGA capture yet. I cannot figure out if the sound is any better between the Wondermega and a not-launch model 1 Mega Drive (no AV Intelligent System Multi Purpose Use markings). I think a difference could be heard when the ship coming out of the water explodes.

I hope to redo the capture next weekend with a launch Mega Drive.
