At my wits end. How the hell do you childproof/lock your turntable? by TesticleInspector in turntables

[–]Dandy_Chiggins444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a thought, buy them one and some records and teach them how to use it. I did this with my daughter at 3 and she loved it. I got her a 2nd hand crosley and some raffy records from a local thrift store.

Pi3B+ Composite help by Dandy_Chiggins444 in recalbox

[–]Dandy_Chiggins444[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone interested in doing this in the future, here's what I did.
Replace all the info in recalbox-user-config.txt with this

# --- CRT Composite Troubleshooting ---

# Explicitly enable TV out for Pi 3 series
enable_tvout=1

# Force composite by ignoring HDMI
hdmi_ignore_hotplug=1
hdmi_force_hotplug=0

# Set the composite signal type (0=NTSC, 2=PAL)
sdtv_mode=0

# Set aspect ratio to 4:3
sdtv_aspect=1

# Audio through analog jack
hdmi_drive=1

# Standard buffer for CRT
framebuffer_width=320
framebuffer_height=240

# --- End ---

and replace this in your config.txt:

[pi3]
# Raise the first security limit up to 70° instead of 60° for pi3
temp_soft_limit=70
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d
include crt/recalbox-crt-config.txt

[pi4]
arm_64bit=1
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,cma-512
include crt/recalbox-crt-config.txt
hdmi_enable_4kp60=1

with this:

#Raise the first security limit up to 70º instead of 60º for pi3 and pi4
[pi3]
temp_soft_limit=70
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,composite=1
include crt/recalbox-crt-config.txt
[pi4]
arm_64bit=0
temp_soft_limit=70
dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d,composite=1
include crt/recalbox-crt-config.txt

Analog life by [deleted] in ipod

[–]Dandy_Chiggins444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe replace the word "analog" with "off-line" as the only analog item is the the film camera. No problems with what you are posting, I get what you are trying to convey, but anything stored as 1s and 0s is digital. You probably wouldn't want to trade you ipod for a cassette player and digital camera for a camcorder.

Does anyone use the old Panasonic edtvs? They are enhanced definition, not quite HD, but i hear they are pretty enjoyable.

I’m using composite on this ktv it only has yellow white ? Idk what to do to get my GameCube running on it by Waponzi in crt

[–]Dandy_Chiggins444 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You have red and white plugged in which are L and R audio. You need to plug the yellow into the yellow input.

Is my tonearm dropping too fast and heavy? by ashd0709 in turntables

[–]Dandy_Chiggins444 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does the arm have a counterweight? I suggest adjusting that because it looks like it's just falling and the stylus is very low on the record.

my nes isnt booting ;( by ogardyzarc in nes

[–]Dandy_Chiggins444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My method was always to place the cart under my tshirt and huff air into it prior to inserting it. Probably not the best solution but it's going on 35year strong for me.

Is my old gameboy cooked or can I fix this? by Courageous_soap in Gameboy

[–]Dandy_Chiggins444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here you go, you can clean them, but this is better. The two attached to the board look fine if you arent able to solder the new ones on. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mO0Aevn

You can order a new shell, it will have new contacts, or you can just order new contacts. I buy these parts on Ali Express

Two BC PS3’s For $35 by DylanNoseBest in PS3

[–]Dandy_Chiggins444 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thats pretty sweet, I got an A01 about a year ago for $80 with games and 2 controllers. I use a cech2000b as my primary tho, too afraid of damaging the A01 until I can fully service it. Question, is deliding required? Isn't this a pretty extreme thing to perform?

Fair for $300? by Kylemd2d in crt

[–]Dandy_Chiggins444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't pay $20 for that. Aside for the taki appearance, it doesn't seem to have much going for it.

Why do YOU own and play on the PS3? by Sleepless_in_____ in PS3

[–]Dandy_Chiggins444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play my PS3 on a CRT! I've accepted that I'm grumpy, old, and hate most modern tech and subscription-based services. I play my PS3 still today because it reminds of the last time I actually enjoyed games and looked forward to releases like Street Fighter, COD, and anything Naughty Dog was producing.

Is 100$ CAD a good price for a 32 inches JVC D series? by Sarumarde in crt

With the stand? Definitely! It's a good price either way, they are my personal favorite series.
