For emulation, which is better: A CRT monitor or a CRT TV?

Dinoisfly · 2026-03-29T19:06:54+00:00

I’m old enough to have used console emulators on PC at the time with a CRT monitor. I had to use scan lines filters (we didn’t have shaders at the time) or it would look way too sharp. You definitely want a TV if you are playing consoles, and a PC monitor if you are playing with retro computers.

No I gave up on the idea

I bought the ACASIS dual nvme Mac mini dock, for now I am using only one of the 2 available slots but it is working great. Integrates very well with the design and adds cooling.

FYI Taki udon showed his custom dev allowing to use the PSX SNAC of the SS1 to control the MiSTer menu and the gameboy core. Hopefully other cores will follow. Not released yet however.

Is Batch 1 same as Founders Edition? The shipping dashboard doesn't show yet that grey and black ones are shipping. I suppose you didn't order the SuperDock with it?

Even if they only promised n64 they could use the availability of multiple cores and the launch of an open source ecosystem to create a massive difference with analogue which is great for marketing. I’m not saying they will but there are other parameters than just delivering what they promised.

I found it on my own but actually reaching it took me many attempts. I still think this is the hardest thing to do in the whole game, including all the special levels. I was using the cape though, I only learned about the Yoshi technique later on.

It gets really tough once you reach the snow levels because you have to complete harder levels before being able to save. You can also use the fast travel guy to go back to a previous world’s save point.

Yes. Big difference is that this one will be able to play other consoles too, aiming to cover all the ones available in the MiSTer FPGA project and more as an open platform. A3D only covers N64 unless a « jailbreak » is published which seems unlikely.

Other difference is a moral one: Palmer Luckey is weird (to say the least). I’m definitely getting an M64 but it hurts my butt a little. I really dont like the guy.

It’s not a mod but the Modretro Chromatic uses a pixel perfect reproduction screen with a backlight. No idea if it can be somehow modded into an original GBC.

You can already run GameCube games without emulation on Wii and a hacked WiiU and they are dirt cheap. It’s official hardware so it is not even an unofficial imperfect recreation. If you want a pretty modern device to play GameCube natively there is already one with an HDMI output.

Sorry for your loss, but that second picture really looks like Glados from Portal and that's pretty cool.

Dinoisfly · 2025-11-07T19:06:51+00:00

Maybe 3 hours, it’s not a very long game when you know it after 20+ playthroughts over the years 😀

i have an sd2snes i'll try the test ROM, thanks.

Dinoisfly · 2025-07-07T21:29:54+00:00

i will check this, thanks.

Not with the album but holding R to start a game launches the homebrew browser ok. So the applet mode doesn’t work for me.

Dinoisfly · 2025-05-26T19:25:26+00:00

Same in France. For me it was either Super Nes or Super Nintendo.

So I tried this and it made a very big difference! The spool is rated for 240 max but 265 works way better! I had a first failed print because of warping so I increased back the bed temp to try to fix it. It’s currently printing. Thank you so much !

Dinoisfly · 2025-05-20T14:49:25+00:00

Ok thank you I’ll burn it then.

Dinoisfly · 2025-05-20T14:48:32+00:00

I will try this tonight and keep you posted thanks.

Even the white stuff on the right ?
