Came to the comments to say the same thing. Cool collection, but invest a few bucks on some cable ties my dude.
Nostalgia usually makes you tune out stuff like this. I'm surprised there are so few adapters and splitters in that spaghetti
Why not both? Both is fine. Why are we gatekeeping retrogaming again?
If you went to the gym more often, you could handhold your CRT like the rest of us
Gatekeeping retrogaming is a big L.
is that a klonoa avatar i see? :3
When I'm at home sitting around thousands of dollars of gaming hardware, I'm going to use that.
When I'm out and about with less processing power, then I retro game.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !crtgaming@lemmy.world
Good bot
I play games for the games. I might have a preference on the type of TV and shit, but that's all personal preference. If the game is good, it's good on either one.
I prefer handhelds by far. I have a family and it is easier to get everyone in the same room with handhelds than it is with the TV being monopolized.
Why are Beavis and Butthead going through chemo?
Yeah, baby. And a computer heavy enough to use as a weapon.
Porque no Los dos
Handhelds rule as does CRTs
The dream is a handheld that can output 240p. Preferably with the ability to easily output it via HDMI so I can use an HDMI to Component adapter instead of Composite like most handhelds that do have support for TV Out do.
The Retroid Pocket 2+ does 480p output, and that's the closest I've ever seen. It does work pretty well on a CRT with the HDMI to component adapter.
Both? Both is good

Bonus kbin: !CRTs@kbin.social
I started the one on Lemmy.world, but I also hang out in the one you linked on kbin! Honestly wherever is cool as long as you’re hanging out with other CRT fans and posting or admiring CRTs!
I'd love to be able to afford that kind of setup, but these days somehow it's more affordable to get a handheld than going through the trouble buying the real deal lmao. Getting just a handheld alone would be cheaper than going through the trouble getting a retro setup going. People are asking for way too much for these games that half the time aren't even working. Also I wouldn't want to deal with the potential safety hazard if the CRT breaks,.
^eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee^
Don’t worry, we can’t hear it anymore. Or at least, my friends can’t. Because they didn’t wear earplugs when they should have. Get off my lawn.
¿Por qué no los dos?
I had a CRT for a while, I have a bunch of systmes i've been collecting since I was a kid. Atari 2600, NES, SNES, N64, GC, Wii, Xbox... but I got rid of the CRT because honeslty its way more of a pain to go to the basement, find the game i want and play. Sure its way more authentic but I can just grab my Retroid Pocket 2+ and play all those games and thousands more in seconds.
RP2+ is awesome lol, it can play even some PS2 and 3ds games. If you go the legit path you can afford maybe one game.
I played the hell out of the first few B&B games
I recently bought an old 13 inch Commodore CRT and it's just amazing. I can never go back to playing Amiga games on a LCD screen.
Not a Trinitron. Thread does not deliver.
Shaders are lighter.
Modern emu handhelds*
Playing Atari2600 on a device the size of my phone isn't like the old days. But them again I dont have Coke in a glass bottle, good music on the radio or a drive-in movie either.
I do get a kick out of showing my 6 year old the video games from when I was a kid. That look on her face when she is baffled we even call these video games 😆
Sounds like you need to get a Mexican Coke, enjoy it while you go for a drive to your nearest drive-in. If it's a distance that'll give you time to channel surf. They all still exist!
Nah, handhelds/portables are fine. Awesome way to play old games.
What will you do when that entire thing tips and crushes you under it?
What you need is a proper TV stand lol
What about portable CRTs?
My morning bleary eyes read “false CRT” instead of “fatso CRT” and I spent a while being blown away that they made a LED display that accurately and convincingly simulated a CRT. Now I fee let down :)
That Grundig tells me you‘re German. When we gonna play?
Nein, wahrscheinlich schwedisch
They sold quite a bit in the Netherlands too
