/vr/ - Retro Games

First is the Joytech JS965C AV Contol Center
This was the one I was expecting the most from. It cost more compared to the other two and it was built better and feels sturdier.

It has clear audio and video, but it darkens the image and to me makes it look muddy.

>>5030352
It's tough to tell from the image but it is definitely different from the video just being plugged in to the TV

I don't have a picture using S-video because I'm going to use this for all plug-ins that require A/V as it's passable enough for me to rely on it for that.

Next is the Pelican Universal Switcher, which was make specifically for game systems

This Feels Cheaper than the Joytech, but the image is just as clear as if the system was plugged into the TV itself

>>5030360
Again the picture is shitty but it looks really good playing anything in S-Video.

So far I've tested PS2, GameCube, PS3 and SNES. All look great.
This is the switcher I will use for all S-Video Systems

Last was this piece of shit, it was the cheapest on Amazon.

It sucked, to much contrast, to much deterioration, and interference no matter what I tried

If you want a good Switcher Box For S-Video, I recommend the Pelican.

That's all, thanks for the recommendations

Thanks, OP. I really need one of these and have come across the Pelican one before. It should be the one to grab, then?

>>5030373
Yep, get the Pelican, I'm really impressed by it. They're also pretty inexpensive too

>>5030360
Not retro

>>5030959
Oh motherfucker, you need to go sulk in the moldiest corner of your room.

>>5030959

Die.

>>5030360
had this since it was new
I tested the s-video cable it came with and it's only 2 conductor junk. never actually tested the switch itself.
I only use it to switch composite

>>5030970
Why do you have 2 Xboxes, 2 Gamecubes, 3 DVD players, 3 CD players, 3 PS2s, and a VCR?

>>5030975
because I'm not a poorfag

Extron MPS 112s can be found dirt cheap all over eBay.

>>5030978
>because I like wasting money

ftfy

>>5030343
I've got that same switch box, it's shit. Removing a resistor can somewhat improve the image, but it's still trash.

>>5030975
I don't the switchers come like that. Every switch is hooked up to a different console. Though you probably knew this.

>>5030978
Correct.

>>5030343
Still the best option OP

Word of warning.
Do not buy cheap switches or converters.

I bought the chinese scart thing and it fucking fried an hdmi port in my receiver and the actual scart converter thing stopped working.

i bought pic related and its working great no signal loss

>>5031736
I have that one too and it's great.

I heard that you can select multiple consoles at the same time on the Pelican, is that true?

>>5031736
where's the s-video nigga?

>>5031809
i didn't say it was an s video switcher and my tv doesn't have s video

>>5031869
>not getting a s-video to hdmi adapter so you can get the best quality from your old consoles on current year tvs
enjoy your composhit anon

>>5031989
and 10 frames lag?

>>5031989
>s video
>best quality
pick one
also good luck playing duck hunt

>>5033294
>S-Video
>NES
What are you stupid?

>>5030970
you know they make composite cables that do all three of those consoles

>>5030970
>front heavy CRT overhanging like that

>>5034154
you mean component anon? Yes all 3 consoles (xbox, ps2 and cube) should be connect with component. If you don't like it go cry about your non-retro shit on >>>/v/

>>5035207
no I mean I have a combo component/av cable that does snes/n64/gamecube ps1/ps2 dreamcast no need to all of those switches

>>5035207
also I have a rf adapter that has the same ends

>>5034084
good luck playing light gun games then, also you can mod a nes to output s video

>>5035441

>>5035441
>snes/n64/gamecube ps1/ps2 dreamcast
If you did have such a cable (which you don't) then why wouldn't it also advertise PS3 compatibility? Also, how did the manufacturer get around the electrical differences between SNES, N64 and GC? How's the component output quality from SNES and N64?

This thing is great. No signal degradation as far as I could ever tell. Been using it for my N64, Saturn, Dreamcast and PS2 for 2 years now.

>>5030980
How good is the extron? It looks fantastic.

>>5031989
wew, lad

>>5039342
I used one of those for a long time
Seemed to work pretty well
