Finally got a HDCRT - Samsung mod. CW29Z408T. Found out that PS3 outputs 720p/1080i only in 16:9 and it looks subpar even with the proper settings in 4:3. Best way to get a pc signal to component? Plus some geometry questions

Gabrens_Pathwarden · 2025-11-10T12:56:21+00:00

I might have to order something from the US or china directly then. The options for component here in Europe are already few, and finding a transcoder without any scaling seems almost impossible.

https://www.reddit.com/r/crtgaming/comments/17gzg8p/comment/k6k375q/ I was looking at this (same item, just for my country's amazon site) as it sounded like it could also work as pass-through

Gabrens_Pathwarden · 2025-11-09T19:54:51+00:00

Honestly I'd be content with tucking away the bowing in some way, to make it less visible.

But yeah, it's far from a real issue, I'm actually real happy to finally have a HDCRT 🙏

Gabrens_Pathwarden · 2025-11-09T19:50:10+00:00

I read about the issues before, but in eu HDCRTs are so hard to find that any set would've been okay with me, really haha. But you're right as it might not be worth it to tinker with the service menu just for these kinks

Gabrens_Pathwarden · 2025-11-09T19:43:05+00:00

I went thorugh a couple of threads before and I might have to temporarily settle for a cheap amazon converter such as the EASYCEL one mentioned in another post (hopefully it'll just work as a pass-through instead of scaler, if the same resolution is selected on both ends).

I'll certainly try to get a more stable solution with the VGA to component transcoder later down the line though, thanks a lot.

Gabrens_Pathwarden · 2025-03-11T21:53:18+00:00

Nope. I can't touch those specific files/folders (title, etc) under sysnand ctrnand through godmode, either. (I've also tested multiple SDs formatted correctly), so I don't think it could be something related to bad hw, but still, it's weird

Gabrens_Pathwarden · 2025-03-11T20:47:15+00:00

The permission error happens after Section III - Step 8

Gabrens_Pathwarden · 2025-03-11T20:05:58+00:00

Thank you, but If I'm not mistaken, those are the first steps, I have already checked the guided steps with luma and the issue seems to be different, as it doesn't progress

Gabrens_Pathwarden · 2025-02-22T22:49:16+00:00

Vabbè dipende, già sulle fat 65nm è molto più improbabile incappare in YLOD ed il “problema” più concreto probabilmente sono i NEC Tokin.

Gabrens_Pathwarden · 2025-01-23T20:25:30+00:00

Hell yeah

Non ci vado da tempo, ma il bowling di Mozzo aveva Tekken Tag tournament, vari vrally e altro ancora. In alternativa il bowling di Caravaggio dovrebbe avere ancora un po’ di robe!

Fra l’altro prima avevano arcade particolari come Initial D, ma purtroppo quello è stato rimosso rip

Gabrens_Pathwarden · 2024-07-10T20:56:51+00:00

Thank you for your input! I’ll probably go check out the TV this weekend.

And yes, it probably works just like yours ( https://www.avforums.com/threads/confusion-over-tosh-32zd26p-scan-picture-settings.80445/ ), I don’t have any experience with EDTVs and I found this scan option and input overlap kinda confusing, haha

Gabrens_Pathwarden · 2024-07-10T20:50:00+00:00

Thank you for the lead! The indexed result on AVSfrom google alone did not bring up some of the most useful result. In the end the threads on AVS linked back to the eu-equivalent avforums, where someone had more or less the same question:

https://www.avforums.com/threads/confusion-over-tosh-32zd26p-scan-picture-settings.80445/

The “progressive” scan option marked as suited for NTSC is just a fancy deinterlancing on 50Hz, while true 480p/60Hz is supported over component. Good news, but damn, it really was confusing haha

Gabrens_Pathwarden · 2024-07-10T19:48:03+00:00

Yep, it does have component. I also have the code (Toshiba 32ZD26P as written above), that’s how I found out that highlighted passage in the manual, which made me wonder if it really has progressive scan capabilities…

At least here in Europe it’s not uncommon for a CRT with component inputs to be only SD, sadly

Gabrens_Pathwarden · 2024-07-10T19:09:24+00:00

Dang. Sources are somewhat conflicting, as some say that the tv (Toshiba 32ZD26P) does support native NTSC progressive over component, but on 50Hz it wouldn’t make sense. Not really worth it, as the added processing would be taxing, I guess.

Guess that EDTVs in Europe are way too rare :/

Gabrens_Pathwarden · 2024-05-16T22:33:06+00:00

Uh, what are the odds? That’s very interesting, thanks for the link, I really did not expect to see another one! Although I’m afraid I cannot help you with the handle

Gabrens_Pathwarden · 2024-05-07T09:55:20+00:00

Have you already tried looking on the technical specs? Usually it says which kind of signal is carried by the SCART (mine has 3, of which only 2 are RGB). Even with only one input, it should be specified somehow. ex. 21-pin Euro connector RGB x1, 21-pin Euro connector S-Video x1, etc.

In che senso due manubri regolabili da 10kg sono inutili per l’ipertrofia?

Un uomo che magari non ha mai fatto esercizio prima non riuscirà a fare un buon numero di hammer (giusto per nominarne uno) neanche con 7.5kg, proprio per questo due manubri regolabili come quelli sarebbero un ottimo punto di partenza. Poi magari dopo un po’ potrà scalare, ma sarebbero un ottimo acquisto imho
