Did you flick the switch? Is it on channel 3 or 4? Well idk what's wrong then, try unscrewing and rescrewing the wires on back

Hearing Sonic's theme music right now. I had one of these with my sega genesis.

Hand me the butter knife so I can loosen the screws.

We had to dedicate a butter knife because it got warped on the tip

i made the mistake of trying to jb weld the screw-in prongs because they kept falling out. lol

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 7 points 7 months ago

hell yeah. I remember when it went from coax/antennae to RCA, I was like "damn the future is now" even though I was only like 11. nothing to jiggle or screw in/tighten. just color coded plugs. that was like the age I was when I started being the one in the family expected to setup the TV/VCR when there was a new one. fuckin boomers.

I still have my official SNES version because it's still used in equipment today. I can't even count on RCA anymore!

I never tried to glue the prongs, and tbh the prongs were much better than those RF connectors where the copper wire in the center would bend or break off and then you were just screwed.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 3 points 7 months ago

I didn't have one of these with those prongs, pretty sure they were for older systems like the Atari 2600.

nerd + chomsky-yes-honey = That's the Commodore64 adapter isn't it?

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 3 points 7 months ago

Pretty sure I had one for an Amiga 500 as well

What was lemmy's first repost?

(autocorrect made that "rapist")

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 1 points 7 months ago

I never use Lemmy so I don't understand the joke.
