I have a few more things such as an exertainment lifecycle that I can’t currently display because I keep my collection in my room. One day I’ll have my own dedicated game room but this is most of what I’ve got.
Picked it up of facebook marketplace 🙂
Also it’s a bit big for my room lol
Got this behemoth of a tv almost free, really puts my 55" Oled to shame.
Philips 28PT4404/00 Black Line D made in France, service menu shows 2DD0 = 11,728h runtime.
I only have PS2 with RGB scart cable and a Wii with composite cable, is 240p test suite reliable with wii composite or should i get an rgb cable for it? For me it looks great and will replace my 21" philips for daily ps2 driver so i dont really care but if someone wants to see it.
Putting together a little Japanese computer cart. All systems have RGB outputs but for the Sharp X1 Twin, the PC Engine only outputs over composite. I picked up a RetroScaler2x not really expecting much, and have it plugged into an OSSC via a HDMI to VGA cable. It works surprisingly well. No perceptible input lag from what I can tell.
Finally stopped swapping cables, picked up a 4-way switch and now all 4 consoles are hooked up. Works great and recommend !
Swapping for a 21" VGA CRT, but will miss the convenience of this little guy; these were the equivalent of ~$1,000 when they came out in 1989!
i found this thomson 14mg10c next to some trash outside and I noticed that it's cable is missing (cut off presumably). After opening it up I discovered that the inner connector for the power cable is quite close to the tube itself and I'm not sure whether the tube itself is energised as a whole or if it's just the part where the anode cap is. should I be OK with unplugging it or should I try and solder a new connector without unplugging it? I decided to add more pics so you can also see how the board looks from the inside.
First arcade project, built from an original Golden Tee cabinet.
Running a MiSTer FPGA into a Toshiba 27AF43 with YPbPr . I’m pretty new to arcade controls, so for now I went with USB using a couple Mayflash F700 sticks, plus some 8BitDo controllers for games that don’t feel right on arcade inputs.
I also added a small LCD in the middle driven by a Raspberry Pi that loops through top 100 games for different consoles.
Included a shot of the tube inside the cab as well 👍
The coin door isn’t hooked up yet, still figuring out the best way to integrate that with MiSTer. Also thinking about eventually swapping the flat tube for a curved one.
Pretty happy with how it turned out so far.
Tekken Tag, Tekken 3 and Soul Calibur 3 are Nacmo System 12 games that can be switched between 240p and 480i in the Arcade versions.
The last Tekken Tag systems I saw in recent years around my area have the game set in 240p. Was this the more common setup for this game?
Hi all! I recently got a good deal on a Sony WEGA Trinitron KV-27FS100 when I had originally grabbed it and turned it on it didn’t seem to have any issues. However when I brought it back home theres this nasty green hue over everything on screen no matter the input used. I’ve opened it up and as far as I can tell there’s no damage to any of the internals, the only thing that is currently wrong is a cut power cable (my fault) which I soldered back together and seemingly works just fine.
For some reason I also cannot access the service menu, although I was able to access it prior. The TV came with the original remote and looking at the service manual for this model the combo is TV off -> Display -> 5 -> Volume up -> TV on. But no matter how many times I try to use the combo it won’t come up now. The soldering job on the power cord is pretty shoddy as I’m not too experienced with soldering, I have a new cord coming in soon though. However, I’m just not sure if that’s the issue considering I was able to access the menu after soldering the cable, but it just stopped letting me for some reason. Any advice for any of these issues? I know it’s a bit of a vague question, but I’m really unsure what to do currently until the cable comes in.
Decided to look into component 480 supported games on 360 and ps3 and settled on this one first! It’s been amazing so far after only about an hour of playing
It's a very old Philco TV, but I don't know the model.
Just finished building my dedicated retro box for my recently acquired CRT. I’ve got a collection of under 9k games to get through. And honestly that’ll probably keep growing. Been buying controllers and adapters to get close to the legit thing without buying the real consoles.
Decided a fun way to go through the games is to play a thing I call retro roulette with my kid. Press a button on my server to randomly choose a game, then find it on my box, or upload it to my box from my server and play about 10-15 mins to see if we like said game. After that, move onto the next one.
Also, yes I’m currently playing with a scaler as getting the transcoder I need for true 240p seems to be an impossible task. Still waiting on the one I ordered to ship
hey mod, you deleted my post and assumed there was no CRT in ther. I said there was a Toshiba so this time I provided proof! Anyways, I transformed an original Golden Tee arcade machine. Powered by a MiSTer FPGA and Toshiba 27AF43.
I also added a raspberry pi computer with LCD screen in the middle that loops through the top 100 games for various consoles. Eventually I'd like to replace the flat tube with a curved one.
this only happens in the xbox menues and its kind of annoying (it does not happen on the test grid, and changing the picture does change the severity)
