Latest bootleg console acquired is the Coolbaby. Comes with 600 GBA, NES, SNES and Genesis games and there's a SD card slot to add more. Threw on about 4500 arcade games.

Getting my 1 1/2 year old into the classics. He can clear out about half of the maze but gets distracted hitting the start button because it sounds like a fart.

Sylvan Tale is a great action rpg and one of the best games on the system. Tails Adventure is a decent early Metroidvania. Defenders of Oasis is a cool oldskool rpg with an Arabian Nights theme. Zenki is a nice action platformer, and I've heard great things about the 2 Shinobi games for it.

Don't bother with Shining Force on Game Gear.  It was the second part of the SF Gaiden series that wasn't initially localized, IIRC- The Sega CD Shining Force game is actually a 16-bit upgrade that contains both GG games with improved graphics and CD music, plus additional story/scenarios.

Retrotink 2X came today.  Gonna try hooking up something up to test it out in a few minutes.  If it's as good as the reviews say, might be time to ditch the last CRT I have in the house.

It's a Samsung GXTV.  Not gonna sell it because fuck hauling that out somewhere and shipping prices are sure to be astronomical.  I see that you can hook up stuff like Retropies to it, so I could just re-purpose it into an old-school arcade monitor of sorts for emulation.

Well, that was...interesting.  First I tried PS2- got no sound, the controllers didn't work, and the disc wouldn't read.  Thought it was broken, but...nope.  Forgot I had to reset it to get the mod chip to kick in and play Japanese games.  And the controllers just didn't age well and need to be replaced.  But it looked pretty nice and I didn't feel any lag. 

Then I tried Game Cube.  No sound again, so OK- either the Retrotink was busted or it was the monitor I was using.  Hooked it up to a little HDTV and got sound, so I guess the Retrotink doesn't play well with monitors or I needed to change something, dunno. 

I used to use this TV for PS3/360 games and felt major lag when I'd try playing older systems on it.  Didn't feel that way at all and PN03 ran great!  So that's pretty impressive.  Now I just need to find my component cables or see if I have S-Video lying around.

I don't want to deal with CRTs anymore and the Retrotink is pretty awesome.  Even the smaller ones can be bulky and heavy.  The Samsung GXTV was a "gamer TV" and while it only had composite inputs, the screen is small enough that it doesn't matter- games look pretty good on it, it has huge speakers, and a subwoofer built in. 


It just takes up space that I really don't have available in my game room.

Next up is trying the Retrotink on my 55" 4K TV.  That's the real test- if games look good on a screen that large, then I'll finally be able to use one TV to play everything. 

If I was going to really go all out for retro gaming, I wouldn't hunt down a PVM anyway- I'd buy a Framemeister.

Here's F-Zero GX on Game Cube, in widescreen mode, via Component.  You cannot use progressive scan with the Retrotink, however.  Game Cube looks blurrier than PS2 does on this thing and wasn't as impressive, but still looked really good.  Again, zero noticeable lag.  Gameboy games on the Gameboy Player also ran nicely and felt responsive.



This is absolutely a game-changer for me- being able to play older systems on a large modern TV and have it look and respond this well is just amazing. 

Next up is to get everything organized and hooked up.  And I still have to try out Dreamcast and Wii.  Maybe PSP too.

Beats me what the easiest way is nowadays.  I have a slim PS2 with a mod chip from back when it first came out. 

I also need to try playing PS2 games emulated.  Have actually never done this before!

Buying a Japanese PS2 would probably be the easiest for just popping in discs and going, I'm sure there's tons of used ones you can grab off almost any site.

PCSX2 doesn't have particularly high requirements, if you can run Dolphin you can run it. If you aren't boosting the resolution, or just scaling it, you'd have to have some pretty outdated hardware for it to not work with most games. It does not have the world's greatest compability for being such a long standing and popular emulator, it's only at like 96%. The project has varied all over the place from trying compability to trying to be cycle accurate and back again so it can be quirky.

Don't even grab the stable installer, it's like four years out of date or something, just grab the latest build.

PS2 games can be super weird because the hardware is super weird, you might be running Twisted Metal Black at 4K and 60fps perfectly with all the fancy features jacked up, then pop in Dead or Alive 2 and watch it crawl at original resolution, then move onto God of War and be back to maxing out everything. (This is not a statement on their current state of emulation, just a somewhat hypothetical example.)

If you're doing any playing of PC games over the last few years, if you target say 640x480 as the internal framebuffer (higher than any PS2 game actually runs at iirc) and then scale up to 1080p, I'm sure most games will be fine enough. If you have pretty good hardware that chews up most recent PC games doubling or tripling the original internal resolution is quite easy to get away with.

On a TV it won't save you huge amounts since scaling isn't majorly stressful on GPUs but letting the TV handle any upscaling might be the difference between keeping the framerate stable and occasional drops or frame mistimings.

bork, you might have better success with the Wii in GameCube mode than an actual GameCube, IIRC, the Wii can have a slightly cleaner output noticeable on large screens. It clocks down but I think it still handles widescreen as a Wii.

Of course, what you really want to do is run that F-Zero in Dolphin at 4K with 16xAF and 4xMSAA. :doge

I've got a Japanese White PS2 that I got off ebay with a few games for around $150. This was a few years ago though.

I like the Shinobi games quite a bit.

Vampire (aka Master of Darkness) is a nice Castlevania rip-off.

There's a lot of good translations of Sega games on there (particularly Sonic and Streets of Rage) but if you're using an emulator, you're better off just playing the original versions.

Here’s the thing about ps2: Sony made it out of some shoddy parts. If I had a choice I’d go with a fat ps2 but..DRE. I mostly want to play on original hardware too.

So I’m all about making ps2 last as much as possible because I think it’s the greatest system ever made. So the best way besides emulation I’ve come to the conclusion of doing this is a fat ps2 with hd loader. That way I can rip my own discs, be saved by the ps2’s crappy laser, and if the hdd dies I could always just rip again. But if the disc drive dies ps2’s might be even more expensive, or even more rare the next time I want to buy one. So I want a ps2 to last.

Currently rocking a ps2 slim.

Looks like you can use a PS2 slim to play .ISOs too.

Can do that with an Xbox too. IIRC, the main problem is when games are relying on a specific read speed.

Some 360 games, Halo 3 I think, had a similar issue if you installed them to the hard drive.

The top loader mod on a fat PS2 isn't too hard, that's what I used to do back in the day before I bought a Japanese slim PS2 from cvxfreak on GAF years ago.*

*There are a few games that won't work with the top loader method, one of the Sakura Wars games, that's why I ended up getting a Japanese console.

I think there was also a similar method of using the disc for the top loader on the slim PS2s.  It didn't work for some games and is the same reason why I ended up getting a modded PS2 slim instead.

I think it had to do with dual layer discs or something. The PS2 remake of the original Sakura Wars has that issue and won’t work with the top loader mod.

I’ve decided to invest in a crt. I’ve been thinking of it for a while because the lag in an hd set up isn’t good for old fighting games. We bring crts to local fighting game meet ups and I’ve wanted to bring Bushido Blade to a local for a while.

The benefits seem pretty obvious. So with me more dedicated to playing older games it makes sense to just finally bite the bullet rather than try hooking this stuff up to an hd set up. I dropped by the rents and...no crt from what I can find. :(

So I’m looking for a new one. What’s a good size? To my memory, tv size is different with crts compared to lcds. Like, a 20 inch lcd looks small as hell but a 20 inch crt feels beefy. I had a 10 inch in freshmen year and that was too small so I’m thinking 13-19 inches would be better? I don’t want it to take up much space because it won’t be the primary tv of course.

My life in gaming seems to have a good video on it? Posting so I can watch it later.



Then again, small crt size isn’t much a big deal. I’ve played on Sony PVM’s at tournaments and they’re absolutely fine so :idont

So update. Recently got a CRT and have been using it to play ps2 games in component it's really nice. :) PS2 never looked so good to me!

The tv supports AV, S-video, and component. I'm really in luck! It's not HD and only goes up to 480i but that's ok. It'll be good for every system I want to play on it. :)

- Snatcher (Sega CD)
- Dreamweb (DOS)
- Axiom Verge (I know, not old)

Kinda have that sci-fi noir itch to play Snatcher to be honest but Dreamweb is just so good from what I tried it.

Snatcher is soooo good, definitely play that! Axiom Verge is also a pretty good Metroid style game that subverts expectations, boss fights kinda suck though.

Snatcher is what popped my Kojima cherry.  It blew my feeble teenage mind back then.  Still holds up today, IMO.

ACT 1 SNATCH

Still my favorite Kojima game.  The plot actually makes sense, even if it is a big ol' Terminator/Blade Runner rip-off.

Lunchtime gaming with a new portable Sega system.  Comes with about 200 games and has a SD card slot to add more.  Not bad for $12.
