Zaphod42 posted:N64 Doom is really cool but its really more like a Quake prequel in the Doom engine aesthetically, rather than a straight Doom WAD. Its very cool. Yeah Doom on the N64 ruled, I want a version of that for Dolphin or whatever with a higher framerate

shyduck posted:Regarding Framemeister, The 'My Life In Gaming' guys learned from somebody with Micomsoft knowledge that the company only has basically one engineer, and they're not keen on the being in the upscaler business. Grain of salt, but doesn't sound good for an updated one. How has noone else made something to compete yet? The OSSC is fine, but not really the same thing. At that price point you'd think there would've been some competition by now.

Ineffiable posted:Its very niche and requires a ton of computer know how and engineering? Even at that price point they may not be making that much money. Hasn't there only been thousands of these sold? Maybe tens of thousands? It's like with the analogue nt mini. They found someone that knew enough to program the FPGA and worked with him on a console. There's got to be a company out there like analog or hyperkin that's willing to front the research funding. People would eat up a version that had either RGB BNC or full size SCART connectors, I know I'd like one. Jason at gametechus was saying they've sold more than 3000 Hi-Def NES kits and that's including the analogue systems.

Big K of Justice posted:I mean, I did this before back in the 90's, back then in North America, everything was console system -> BNC or console system to -> 25 pin DB and despite what a few youtube channels said, you could get North American TV's with RGB, but it was just a handful of models.. a few Mitsubishi/NEC high-end models and the Sony Pro Feel line all had DB-25 connectors on them. Kinda odd to see the modern method is to use system -> scart -> BNC -> RGB/upscaler route, but I guess its cost considerations. We'd be in a very different world if the digital conversion hadn't happened a decade ago. There was literally a pile of CRTs dozens of feet high at the city electronics recycling location that year, it was nuts. If I'd have had a warehouse back then I would've made a killing. The only reason there's so many PVM/BVM models left is because TV stations and video production places knew better than to throw them away. You can still find some consumer models with the connectors you're talking about, but they're extremely rare. I don't think I've seen one in years and I live in one of the largest cities in the US. The only thing around are production models. You could always get a first gen plasma, the pro models of those almost always have RGB through the DB-25 and also full BNC RGB. GIves off a hell of an image, if you can handle those grey bars on the sides

 Finally got the one console I've been wanting since the 80's, now just need to get it modded for RGB. Even got a handful of JRPG TGCD games with it that I'll never play. edit Martytoof posted:Anyone else waiting on their OSSC with HDMI Audio upgrade? I paid out so long ago now and I guess their installation workshop is really backed up or something. Pretty frustrating but I'm hoping the payoff is good enough to warrant the wait. yeah I ordered one when they went on sale recently, shipping window is still a month or so away.

Breadallelogram posted:Actually it looks like the super everdrive and sd2snes both work on jp systems... anyone here have hands-on experience with that? I've got the Famicom looking version of the sd2snes and it's great. Ended up with a SNES Mini, but would've gotten a Famicom if I could've found one at a decent price that wasn't yellowed to hell and back. The SNES Mini is still pretty cheap and has the best video out, according to MLIG at least, but you have to get it modded for RGB if you're looking for that.

He's just giving them away to people he deems worthy. ie, won't got sell them immediately Most were 25" Zeniths with RCA composite only, but there's a few 19" and 13" Trinitrons. The larger ones are still composite, but the small sets are the tiny WEGAs and have component. edit, PM me if you want info Sir Tonk fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Jul 22, 2017 |

 Had a good ol' time cleaning a few N64 carts my friend gave me. Most were pretty trashed, but they're all working now and are very clean. The N64 also had a ton of dust in it, but is working great. Gonna send it off for a RGB mod pretty soon.

Ofecks posted:Wow, I had no idea N64 PCBs were so tiny. What a waste of space in the carts. I mean, NES had the same issue too, but still. Two of them are only in Japanese, but the other is Far East of Eden. They're very much JRPGs, well the CD games are, and relatively impossible to navigate. None are worth anything and I'm just keeping them to represent PCE games on the shelf. If anyone around here really wants them I really don't need them.

Game pricing is weird. Im curious if everything will stay this expensive for much longer, it's crazy these days. There's a flash cart for just about every console now and the CD systems are mostly covered as well, only reason to buy games is for collectors and originalists.

 Sorry to change the subject from rom availability (there's a torrent for every cartridge-based console game collection), here's the one valuable thing I've got. Saw it getting good reviews back in the day and picked it up while I was in Iraq and somehow was able to keep the box and everything. Played the hell out of it for years, drat good game.

Bonxai posted:(Maybe this is more of a general electronics question but it involves Sega Genesis sound chips so...) I would absolutely love this and would pay good money for it. All the current solutions are just tedious enough to be more trouble than they're worth, I want something that can be plugged into a receiver and controlled with a genesis controller or whatever. Add the ability to plug in game carts to access the sound files and I'd be happy, not sure if that's possible though.

It's mostly for people to put on a shelf, but cassettes are back for certain music genres. It's very strange, they're a terrible format. In Training posted:People use tapes still in the same way that people use vinyl, it's not a total shock to put the soundtrack out on tape Not really, there's a ton of companies selling modern turntables and people actually listen to records. Noone is making a modern tape deck and cassettes sound like poo poo anyway. But yeah it's very much a cute thing for people to buy and look at. Ariel Pink and my friend's band both put out 8 tracks a few years ago. They cost so much to make that they only did like twenty of them.
