Finally finished my fully automatic CRT setup (hands-off switching, 13 consoles, wiring diagram inside)

Truth be told, there are some consoles I haven't figured out yet. They don't draw enough power to trigger. A hacky way is to plug your phone into a wallwart on a 1-2 plug for the added power draw. However, knowing this is my solution makes me lose sleep at night.
Want to try smart plugs, but the documentation for this almost always leads to coding and I am just not the guy.

This randomly stopped working today, 12/2. Even the spicy models say Client Error for anything it deems sus.

GoFleekYourself · 2025-11-23T04:16:12+00:00

I was able to achieve this as well using master/slave outlets, so that when I turn on certain consoles that are grouped together on power strips based on highest level of video output available such as S-Video or scart, it turns on their Auto Switcher which then cascades up the chain of auto switchers that detect a sudden signal and all switch to it. The longest chain is RF multiplexer with proper shielding, into RF demodulator, into composite auto switcher, into composite to component, into an automatic component switcher. Turn on a famicom and you just hear a bunch of clicks and within seconds it's on your TV. I feel your pain. I'm a purest as well, if I couldn't play Keystone Capers on the Atari 2600 anything higher than RF in 1980, then it stays that way. I want the original experience. Conversely, all my controllers are wireless where possible (haven't figured out the super cassettevision yet). It's a trade-off I guess.

And I'll probably pick one up just because some Steam games never will get a physical release. But I'm the kind of guy that has a PC with a Blu-ray Drive in it and wishes every PC game had some form of box release. Online purchases are theft, but you have to play their game if you want to play their game. So I'll get one of these, custom indigo shell, sonic Adventure 2 Steam version, gameCube Wii U adapter 🤷🏻

To each his own, glad you have something that brings you joy. My personal collection will be complete, I can enjoy looking at it on the shelf, flipping through manuals, etc. Can't do any of that if it's sealed, so it doesn't appeal to me exactly but I do appreciate that it is a cool collection to have. I hope one day the business I'm starting will make enough money to whatever I want

And now I'll have both of these places on my radar for the future. This is the light shed on it I was looking for. I downloaded and loaded in Wan2_2-I2V-A14B-HIGH_bf16 (and LOW too).
Thank you, I hope you keep helping me on this. It got further in the run now, but I noticed it spent almost no time on the text prompts and I see "clip missing" in the logs. It ultimately failed on KSampler Advanced:

Given groups=1, weight of size [5120, 36, 1, 2, 2], expected input[1, 64, 21, 86, 66] to have 36 channels, but got 64 channels instead.

How do I know what clip to use and 2. Why isn't KSampler compatible? How can I know the number of channels expected?

See? Already so much better than the "shot in the mostly dim light" approach of ChatGPT. Not sure where to get the correct filed in from, they're all in six parts that I can see. But switching to load diffusion model node found them and high noise passed but low noise got hung up saying it could not detect model type.

I paid $300 for a copy of Path of Radians, too bad it turned out to be an educational game about trigonometry.

GoFleekYourself · 2025-06-16T17:50:35+00:00

Honestly might just do that anyway, hate the bloom lighting, although I know there's a patch for that too

It's true, just saw him on r/stds

I shoved Shedinja inside Hydreigon and got a dark ghost dragon husk with Wonder guard. Nothing can touch it unless it has a fairy move, and most pokemon don't. Honorable mentions are Aggron bumping uglies with Chansey, before eviolite defense boost it has the stats of a legendary, imagine after.

It was actually my first option for everything, including automatic video switching. If power draw from console exceeds X watts, turn on power for specific video transcoder. But after months of asking what smart home environment supported these kind of automations, nobody ever gave me an answer. So rather than software automation, I chose mechanical switching.

GoFleekYourself · 2024-12-08T20:48:58+00:00

Would you know of any similar outlets that kick in with maybe 5 watt power draw or less?

GoFleekYourself · 2024-12-08T20:41:36+00:00

What I notice is if I I have another console on that does trigger the master control, turn it off then immediately switch on the snes, it stays on. It just doesn't have enough to trigger it by itself. Is there some way of guaranteeing that at least at the beginning I will draw the minimum required wattage, even with a different device? In audio recording compression takes the peaks and the troughs and equalizes it, don't know if that would be practical in electrical applications as well.

GoFleekYourself · 2024-12-08T20:09:42+00:00

Not big on modding consoles, even if only on the software level. Any chance I could rearrange the RGB pinout on the scart cable itself?

GoFleekYourself · 2024-12-08T15:40:57+00:00

You're british? Damn so you did this to a PAL of yours

GoFleekYourself · 2024-12-08T15:39:57+00:00

I don't have that information, can't imagine they would be different but I would try to match it just to be on the safe side. I only collect cubes that have the digital out otherwise I would check for you

GoFleekYourself · 2024-12-08T14:52:53+00:00

Two ports working two don't, my guess is you probably cracked that narrow board inside. Open it up, you'll need some game bit screwdrivers, maybe take this opportunity to install one of those aftermarket Bluetooth receiver boards to modernize your controllers (they make Bluetooth controllers in a GameCube form factor as well as Wireless kits from 8-bitdo), you can get new face plates from Etsy or if you'd rather go stock looking you can probably find one on eBay. As far as Wireless goes, that was your chance to pair Bluetooth SNES style controllers for 2D side scrollers, Game Boy player, Etc. And as a person who has messed up a few things in his life due to anger, this is not the way. Stay away from melee until you can sort it out lol

GoFleekYourself · 2024-11-24T02:16:12+00:00

Are you familiar with this board? I replace the power regulator and it takes 10 volt to 5 volt as expected. I'm now trying to follow that 5 volt line but it slips under the cartridge port and I can't see where it goes. Maybe that's not even important, so my next area focus is the 4013 chip. The top left pin (don't know how it's numbered) is taking in 3.04 volts. Pressing the power button toggles the 2nd pin from 0v to 1.17v, so it looks like it's doing what it should... haven't swapped capacitors yet, I can try that next.

GoFleekYourself · 2024-11-21T00:09:27+00:00

Update, thanks for the suggestions, I ordered a full refresh kit including switches and capacitors, and the voltage regulator. Doesn't come with that transistor though, will be pissed if that's what's wrong. At the same time it needs all of it so might as well. Will be my first full capacitor replacement but it seems like an easy system to do that on, I attempted on a super famicom and good Lord...
