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.

Posted by Paleface on November 01, 2018 at 19:09:35 EST in reply to 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. (n/t) from Paleface.

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.

Or maybe someone will come out with a PCE Mini with DDII and Don Doko Don on it and I won't have to bother with this AV stuff : D

(Paleface can dream)

(04:53:17 11/02/18 EST)

Ohh except they certainly wouldn't do CD games on that kind of thing so DDII would never happen, wah.

(04:54:17 11/02/18 EST)

you know there's that thing that plugs into the back of a regular pce and plays all roms and ISOs, right?

(exodus)

(13:44:07 11/07/18 EST)

Not really! But it did occur to me after I posted that last one that the PS Mini thingy is all CD games, so yeah DDII could totally happen even just based on that.

(oh I think the Sony does have composite inputs, for what that's worth.)

I promise you it does.

Yeah I can kinda see them next to the component inputs, I think, although I'd have to move the thing out from the wall to be sure. Hopefully they would do a better job of handling progressive video game signals at the right aspect ratio, at least; over component, this Sony TV drew PS2 480p via component about 10% too narrow! : P Hm granted I was running it through a distribution amplifier, but that probably wasn't causing it.

My 2017 Sony has all analog video inputs combined into one 1/8” TRS jack. You have to use a special pigtail to access any of them. Once you hook them up though image processing of composite signals is quite amazing. I’m speaking of Laserdisc here though and not old games because I’ve never even fucked with that. I have TVs and then I have TVs, if you know what I’m saying. Wrong TV for that. Trying to make an LD look like film is one thing but games are another.

Composite is usually combined with the green component jack on TVs from the last 5-10 years.

(SignOfZeta)

(15:40:56 11/04/18 EST)

Yeah, that's mostly why I was surprised mine appears to have separate composite jacks!
