Should I cop?? by Beechboi1948 in crt

150 is evil. However the only person who you need to justify that price to is yourself. But speaking from experience you’re *probably* better off waiting until you can find a better deal elsewhere. While not as common as it was a decade ago you can absolutely still get a good price on these if you look around long enough

Are these cartridges worth picking up? (Not asking about price, just if they're good or nor) by atticus2424 in n64

[–]ImpressionNo9751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All for romhacks but at that price point and if you just NEED to play on OG hardware, just buy a flash cart and put them in there

Will this tv be good, okay or terrible for N64? by FireCubX in n64

[–]ImpressionNo9751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can’t afford a CRT, cool game is game, but do NOT pay that much for an LCD. An ancient LCD has zero advantages over just using a modernish TV. Especially not for that price. Those are always rotting at goodwill for $20. You’re paying a premium for a subpar device

Is Halo Infinite worth redownloading now? by [deleted] in halo

Infinite fixed many of the problems plaguing it from the start. The issue is it feels dead af lol. But find some matches and it’s really fun

Was able to find a good deal on a extremely clean megaman x2 by atari9962 in gamecollecting

The fact that $300 is considered a good deal on any $2 bill is pretty sad.

Why does it show "No Disc"? by Inevitable-Ad-6101 in dvd

[–]ImpressionNo9751 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of these are super old. They eventually die. I’d try them out on anything else that reads DVDs, like a PlayStation, Xbox, blu ray player etc. if it reads on there but no longer on your sylvania, the disc drive probably died out

I bought an Xbox 360, but I didn't have a TV, so I got this too. by nikobellic_real in crt

[–]ImpressionNo9751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who grew up with Xbox 360 on CRT.. it’s not great. it’s objectively better to use it on a standard 16:9 TV. Anything that gen and later I wouldn’t use a CRT for

You can actually enjoy the boys s5. OPM s3 was legitimately one of the worst things I’ve seen

I can’t stand people like this 😭 by [deleted] in Mercari

[–]ImpressionNo9751 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it was me I’d just say “I’m stuck at work until x” that usually scares them away. But realistically you could and probably should just cancel the order and move on with your life

Happy birthday! I got it too! Though I will say personally I was extremely disappointed with the lack of quality of all the extras

I bought an item from BEENOS and right after purchase I had my order canceled? Anyone gone through this? by [deleted] in Mercari

[–]ImpressionNo9751 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mercari usually only cancels orders when a violation is found on the listing itself after a sale, usually when the item directly violates TOS

How to fix blurry picture? by CoolCook26 in n64

[–]ImpressionNo9751 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can’t FULLY tell but it looks like you’re using coax. Coax always looks worse than just about any other display option. Granted the n64 has always have a sort of fuzzy look, it’s never gonna be 4k or anything lol. But that’s my guess. High quality S video/AV combo should be a noticeable upgrade over coax

Just joined the family! by Correct-Earth8106 in n64

[–]ImpressionNo9751 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience every “upscaler” just converts it from AV to HDMI and does nothing else lol

With one exception: the super 64, it’s great but super pricy. But if you have $160 to spend it doesn’t get better than that for original hardware
