Didn't know that about the price relationship to US stuff. There's only like one or two games I mildly want to play on it, and I would probably feel like putting it away again after I'd played them a time or two. And I'd have to work some magic to clear enough space for it (Duo). Eh and I'd need a low-lag AV input, a Retrotink or something. And to hope its AV-out held together. At this point it's in the "maybe when I'm retired and really bored I'll mess with it" fantasy category, along with all my 2D PS1 RPGs.

Posted by Paleface on November 01, 2018 at 18:59:41 EST in reply to You fucking guys...seriously. That saying “I should sell it because I haven’t hooked it up in...”. That’s ridiculous. You should hook it up because you haven’t hooked it up. It’s impossible to be madly in love with something you refuse to even turn on and it’s not the PCE’s job to entice you into hooking it up! That being said, most PCE stuff isn’t very valuable really. It’s mainly just US games and JP versions of games that are famous with US collectors. Magical Chase JP and PC Genjin 3 are only valuable because US versions exist and go for $1000+. The dumb fucks that pay $750 for Night Creatures think PCE is some weird bootleg foreign shit so really good stuff like Hanataakadaka! (I think I spelled that right) or Bakushou Yoshimoto Shinkigeki rarely break $60. from SignOfZeta.

Oh wait I can do it blurry style with my ol' Elgato Game Capture HD. Hm. Maybe that'll be my Thanksgiving weekend or something.

Eh wait again, I think my monitor doesn't do 240p or whatever. So the Elgato is back out.

You don’t have just like...a TV in that huge pile of AV shit?

I have a big Sony 4K thing a friend gave me (he was upgrading to an even bigger one : o). It doesn't have AV but it would almost certainly work if I ran the PCE through the Elgato. The TV adds two frames of lag even in "game" mode, though. ; P Sooo I would be maybe a frame or half a frame better off just running the PCE directly into the Framemeister. Not convinced it would be worth the bother, especially since a big part of my motivation is being able to record gameplay and share it on YouTube, and I'd only have 480p at best to work with there. Whereas with a Retrotink + Framemeister I could take it to 960 (and then 1080 with borders), which would be all right. So maybe I'll just get one of those some day and then do it.
