  • I’ve been playing 90’s Nintendo games like Chrono Trigger because I was too busy in the 90’s to do anything other than PC gaming. Now I feel like I’m still missing out because I’m playing them on my collection of retro Handhelds like Retroid, Anbernic and Miyoo Mini all of which are LCD and don’t have the horsepower to do full crt emulation.

    That pixel art on CRT is amazing. I had no idea. I started computing on CRT (technically my first computer class was on punch cards) and always hated it for the misconvergence and geometry distortion.







  • At this point you are nitpicking and being pedantic to attempt to “win” an agurment not being had.

    You wrote 3 paragraphs to avoid admitting that despite my writing about his detergent video, you responded with his dishwasher video because you haven’t watched all his content!

    Comparing samples with an independent lab isn’t a review? Come on. As I already said just because most of his content is “talking head”, doesn’t mean he can’t recommend products. Which he clearly has done.








  • They were $500 20 years ago. So it’s a great value at $250.

    I used a Viewcast Osprey to get decent captures a few years ago. 25 years ago I was all about the BT 878 capture chips.

    The problem with the DV he recommends is that while it’s better than the trash USB converters, DV introduces its own lossiness because it’s like a form of Mjpeg. You also want an svhs player with svideo out even though the tapes aren’t svhs to keep luminance and chroma separate during capture. Otherwise you get dot crawl and other crosstalk artifacts.
