Why would I play Crysis on a CRT, anon?

>>6787124
Crysis isn't on PS2

>>6787124
Literally the way it was meant to be played

>>6787092
When I first got an HD tv, I tried using composite cables for PS2 games. FFXII looked great in 480p, and all, but the screen would fucking flicker out every 10 minutes.
The worst was Klonoa 2, though. The cutscenes couldn't handle the Resolution, so they would switch out everytime a cutscene started, which mean EVERY TIME A CUTSCENE STARTED you'd miss the first 5 seconds of it. It fucking ruins the experience.

>>6787141
>composite
>480p
no

>>6787092
I just play them on an old flatscreen type Sceptre TV. I don't really care.

>>6787134
That's a rear projection monitor

>>6787171
It's bulky though

>>6787268
There's no CRT in there

There's no BVMs available in the flyover states. Fuck my life.

>>6787281
I thought projection TVs relied on 3 CRTs to project the image onto the screen?

>>6787624
They're over-rated anyways. A good 25 inch CRT with at least S-Video will do just fine.

>>6787134
wot in tarnation

>>6787679
Some do, mostly ones from the 90s. Later ones DLP.

>>6787092
I actually have my Xbox 360 hooked up to a shitty CRT that I play Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts on and nobody can stop me.

>>6787730
dude crt monitor + 360 is the way to go. played tons of 360 on my monitor back in the day.

>>6787134
What the fuck

>>6787092
Sure do, champ. I exclusively play my PS2 on the CRT in my room.

I play it on my 50 inch tv

i play them on my 2" sinclair microvision

>>6788263
based

CRT filter la

I got this big motherfucker free two weeks ago. It's an 36FS100. I have HD retrovision cables and it's one of, if not the best CRT I've ever owned.

i would but when i went back to my home country to get my toshiba with a built-in vcr it turns out my dad had taken it to the dump
motherfucker
oh well, it was pal anyway, even if it did support 60hz, was also flat which i've heard has more geom issues

>>6788440
Tested it out with Bare Knuckle 2.

>>6787092
I added it to my retro corner last week.

>>6788471
Is your house on a fault line?

>>6787092
I added it to my retro corner last week.

>>6788480
Do you guys have the horizontal wave / linearity issue with these flat CRTs?
There's one available in my area but I don't want to be disappointed by that flaw.

>Capcom

>Konami
Imagine having such plebian taste

>>6788480
>>6788489
>>6788498
are those boxes sealed? what the fuck lol

>>6788514
I had a mid-2000s Toshiba that had a big problem with that but it was more noticeable when the brightness was too high if you don't like the one you get you can always relist it and give it away as well until you find one you like.

>>6788527
No, he only cares about showing them off rather than playing them which is why he overspent on CIB games and shoved them into plastic protectors.

>>6788516
>PS2 in pic
>Lists the objectively best developers of GOATs from the 90's as an insult

You're gonna have a stroke from all that salt anon.

>>6788543
Those games are the pumpkin spice lattes of retro gaming. You can't get more normie than that.

>>6788542
well at least they're not sealed, i don't understand the idea of buying something and not playing it
then again i also don't understand the idea of not just filling an everdrive with a full nointro set

>>6788543
>replying to a wojak faggot
anon please

>>6788570
Everdrives are for people who appreciate the games but don't want to pay retarded prices for a shelf piece.

>>6788563
>Let the seethe flow through you

>>6788527
No and I play most of them at least once a year. Most of them were aquired for mere pennies in the early 2000's compared to their worth today

>>6788480
Cock sucking tier of SNES games. Step it up anon

>>6788607
Bullshit. You probably live at home and spend your tugboat money on overpriced hipster bait

>>6788607
>brags about buying pristine CIB SNES games for "pennies"
>has reproduction cart in the list
Yeah did you find that one in the wild too?

>>6788625
>literally who weebshit

>>6788625
>>6788772
You literally don't know what Parodius or Bomberman is? This probably isn't the place for you anon...

>>6787092
i play on my 27" fullhd monitor using the chinese ps2tohdmi.

>>6788960
is the DS20425 good model

Playing Gradius V on a CRT is fucking amazing.

>>6789063
>Gradius V
Patrician taste.

>>6788480
Damn supply must have dried up in my area for component crts, haven't seen any ones below 32 inch minimum in a couple of months. Picked up a 27 inch wega but it has some color problems with a weak green gun so I probably will have to recycle it before too long. Jelly

I'll keep looking, what size is that?

Anyone have any advice or know of a good guide to repair/solder RGB inputs on a crt?

>>6789227
Yeah unless you're an experienced electrician, don't do it.

>>6789192
20" Model 20FV300. Bought it new on clearence from Circuit City in 2005. Extremely rare these days I hear.

Lucky buy in hindsight, it was the last 20" Trinitron to have component and 480i before they went HD and switched to LCD.

>>6789349
Well I guess I'll just ride out my 36 inch wega till I find a good replacement. Kinda salts me because both sets of inputs were working fine then they went out all of a sudden.

>>6789227
You need to find a schematic for your board, it will help alot.

The solder points are stolen from the RGB off the jungle chip that supplies RGB to the on screen display. Most also install a switch the will re-enable the OSD for calibration.

>>6789227
There's no real universal guide because every TV is different. You just need to know the general process and learn enough about electronics to adapt it to your specific TV. If you post the model here I can try to help you out.

>>6789437
That's the old, outdated method. Most people these days mux the external RGB with the OSD RGB so the OSD still works at all times. It's easier, neater, and probably also technically better for signal integrity.

>>6789696
>That's the old, outdated method.
Tempted to break her open and redo it now. Thanks.

>>6789696
It's a sony 36 wega model KV-36XBR450
I know the rgb inputs cant be that fucked up because they were working just fine until I moved the tv on table it's on. I'm thinking the connections just came a loose or something?

>>6789853
Oh, is it already RGB-modded, then? Yeah, probably just a broken solder joint.

>>6789853
Do you need to wiggle the sockets/cables to get the picture to work?

If so it's probably a cracked solder joint on the connectors. A pretty easy fix if you can use a soldering iron

how good do ps2 games look on a samsung hdtv with component? I'm not expecting CRT quality but I hope it doesn't look like total shit like composite.

>>6790093
It'll probably look okay, but a bit blurry. If you want a good image invest in an OSSC.

>>6790053
I tried wiggling and didn't get any sort of picture input. You know of a good video tutorial that shows this process? I wanna get a good idea of what I need to do before I start messing with this absolute unit of a tv.

>>6790726
Go look up as much information as possible on working inside a CRT.
You should also learn how to discharge one properly, unless you want to get zapped and possibly die.

>>6790768
Well being murded by a tv sounds like a most dishonorable death so I'd like to avoid that if I can.

>>6790849
There's a big red wire that goes into the top of the tube. Avoid touching it at all costs. Even if the TV hasn't been powered on forever, assume it's still gonna kill you until you discharge it.

>>6790875
Let's be honest it probably won't kill you, but it would hurt like a bitch. Easy tool to make is to strip an extension cord and electrical tape it around a big flathead screwdriver and unplug the TV and stick it under the anode cap.

>>6790901
It doesn't matter if it probably won't kill you, because it easily CAN kill you. All it takes is you being unlucky and having that shit go directly through your heart to fuck you up and give you cardiac arrest.
Notice on how electrical hazard signs they say "Serious shock or death". CRTs are certainly within that capability. You're only being safe if you respect the fact what you're working with can kill you.

>>6790875
Won't kill you but a colleague of mine partially lost hearing on the right ear after getting zapped while fixing a CRT. Even happens to professionals it seems.

Thanks for the replies bros, I'll start my research today.

>>6790990
CRTs are serious business
