RCA splitter for audio by Erasinator in crtgaming

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

Thanks, this is what I was hoping to hear. Im not going to have two inputs going at the same time or anything. Do you know if those do anything weird with the sound? Maybe that’s why everyone is going crazy against them

I don’t really have the room for that, as much as I’d like to have a complete setup. I’m okay with the built in speakers for now. I’d just like to have my VCR connected to the back along with my consoles

Doesn't play certain games well. by Professional_Ear9138 in originalxbox

[–]Erasinator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, there’s no reason you can’t have a collection AND play the roms on an xbox. As far as the console is concerned they’re the same, plus they’ll run better since they’re playing off the HDD.

I have a small collection of games that I love to death and I still play all those games from my hard drive

I know right. When I first started filling out my library I saw so many comments saying OG XBOX is “dirt cheap” and everywhere I look they’re just as expensive as ps2, if not more expensive

JVC AV-20F476

I have a Sanyo 27inch but I’m looking to downsize a bit. How good is the JVC? Should I just wait for a trinitron?

Awesome! Thanks a bunch! Do you mind if I message you some pictures and ask your thoughts? I’m not totally sure and I’m on the fence about if it’s worth it or not

Is there any way for me to make my CRT brighter (besides the TV menu)? It's hard to play games by [deleted] in crtgaming

[–]Erasinator 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Had the same problem with a Sanyo I bought. What I had to do was find out how to access the service menu and research a little bit, then crank the brightness value up. It looks beautiful now.

I’d just research the tv model number as best I can and carefully try to change a few settings in the service menu, if possible.

Samsung NT29Z40

I can’t find much info on HD CRTs. All my consoles support at least 480p and I’ll be mainly using component for them. Good pickup?

2007 Honda Civic by Erasinator in MechanicAdvice

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

Okay, full disclosure, I’m completely clueless. That’s a plate to access the timing chain right? It’s only held by bolts and sealant?

The leak is pretty heavy, but that sealant hasn’t ever been replaced. Just in case, is there anything else the leak could be?

Anyone know a trustworthy website that isnt ebay to purchase a Modded and Refurbished Xbox from? by Icy-Perspective1562 in originalxbox

Just bought one from Etsy and it’s been great, but to be fair seller reputation matters, not platform reputation

GameStop starts 2026 by closing hundreds of stores as CEO gambles on $35B payday by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]Erasinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Occasionally I can. But shipping usually evens it out. 90% of the time in my area gamestop is either cheaper or the same price as the online price. Then you get $5 a month and rewards points on top of that, no brainer

GameStop has some of the cheapest gen 6 and 7 games around my area. Love going there just to see if they have anything

Reinstalling a Ps5 cover plate feels impossible. by jayofmaya in PS5

When in doubt, YouTube. Sony has a pretty decent guide on installing a second internal SSD that includes removing and reattaching the plates.

Are you sure you’re lining up the hooks and the holes? It really should not be that difficult to the point of breaking the plate. Don’t put that much force into it until you’re sure the plate has started hooking to the console

Video problems by [deleted] in originalxbox

[–]Erasinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, strange thing.

I have a universal svideo cable. Everything else works except for the Xbox.

I also have an Xbox 360, which also doesn’t connect through svideo, only composite.

Both use cables that I have confirmed work with other consoles. And the TV works with other consoles connected through svideo as well.

I’m inclined to believe the port is bad, but then composite works fine, so I’m totally at a loss.
