I have a sprawling retro collection and that includes a neo and 5 games

[Tarma]

You do realize I was joking right?

I read years ago it was because TV manufacturers in the US couldn't agree on a standard connector type for consumer TVs. Honestly I don't know why they didn't just use the same RGB connection that the Japanese used. A lot of the TVs in the US from the late 90s and early 00s actually have RGB capabilities and can be easily modded. I just use component for the couple of retro consoles I have left, I can't be bothered to use a bunch of converters and a mess of specialized cables to get a slightly better picture.

I did think for a brief second... my bad. Sometimes you're too deadpan for your own good!

Composite with 6 switch boxes daisy chained together. What is Scart, is that like S-video?

Gotta draw that layout diagram with sixteen gold plated 200 dollar RGB scart blocks

 

[kernow]

I used to post my diagram to take the piss

Neogeo -> TV

For some odd reason Scart was never really supported in NA... don't know why.

Non cylindrical, too many pins, weird name, of French origin... need I go on?

Until HDMI rocked up it was (probably) the best AV connection to use to get the best picture out of any videogame console (that supported RGB scart) or AV device (VCR / DVD / LD).

That'd dumb, I'm going to play everything on composite as the designers intended it. LOOK AT THE WATERFALLS ON SONIC! ARGGHHHHHHHH

SCART is simply a connector format. It doesn’t define the actual signal. The (shitty) connector can carry composite, s-video, RGB, component, audio, a switch signal, etc often several at the same time.

It will almost never carry RGB from a VCR/LD/DVD player because VCRs and LD were native composite and the number of players ever produced that could transcode to RGB could be counted on one hand. Fully legal consumer DVD players rarely if ever output RGB because it doesn’t support Macrovision which was a required part of the spec.

Front composite > all

I know a guy with a complete US PS2 collection. Now obviously that’s a much better ratio than Wii but still he had to track down literally HUNDREDS of shitty licensed movie games, toy based games, annual sports titles, Aklaim’s ripoffs of better popular games, etc. He has shelves and shelves full of utter crap. It was relatively cheap but it’s huge and mediocre as hell on average.

Completing any system is pretty stupid except maybe SNK stuff since the libraries are small and the quality ratio extremely high.

I think giving away the games you don't play anymore is the way to go. I've done that numerous times now and it feels just right.

If I were to offer free old games on Facebook marketplace or similar, or if I printed paper flyers and stapled them to telephone poles, I'd be deluged with requests by adults whose only desire is to scoop them up and reap a profit by selling them to collectors for a jacked up price. I've offered a few free things before and that has been my experience in my neck of the woods.

Even worse are the guys that have shit like an entire go Xbox or Wii full set. That shit is just baffling.

I have a XBOX and a Wii but never bought a game for those systems.

because you find the xbox attractive?

I cried at the end of Toy Story 3 when Andy gave his toys to Bonnie. What a class act, that Andy. He reminds me of LoneSage.

 

[GohanX]

Dude don’t fuck the xbox

 

[GohanX]

He totally fucked the xbox.

 

[terry.330]

Nobody fucked the Xbox.

It looks like a can of Monster Energy and a car stereo amp had a baby. It's unfuckable.

 

[GohanX]

He probably fucked Tarma’s xbox too, that’s why wifi doesn’t work

 

[Heinz]

Stevo's xxxbox bangin' world tour! I might just get one so I can watch.

 

[Tarma]

The only person that fucked Xbox was Microsoft when they designed the fucking thing.

Am I the only person to understand that these are modified consoles for "teh romz" only?

 

[Hattori Hanzo]

Sold almost all my old stuff (but not the Neo) because of the OG Xbox. It was the first half decent emulation PC in the living room. 120GB hard disc was insane back then. Running XBMC renamed to Kodi on my 4K Fire TV is pretty funny.
