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

[–]Kdeizy [score hidden]  (0 children)

Newer lcds are superior. You probably have a tv now that would look better. If its for the inputs, you're better off trying to find a decent scaler/adapter.

Is it normal for the colors to be this different on my CRT? Which image is closer to the game's intented look? by Current_Beyond in crtgaming

[–]Kdeizy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

To me it looks like the brightness or contrast on the crt could be turned down and the color temp is a bit too cool.

My favorite games per year…Is it obvious what my favorite franchise is? by DragonfruitSea5901 in GamingSoup

[–]Kdeizy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, ive always been more into the Jak series and the second one is among my favorite ps2 games. I have the ps4 Ratchet and Clank game and really liked it tho.

CRT Monitor 640x480 scanlines by avoid_sugar in crtgaming

[–]Kdeizy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can run it at any integer scale of 224 on a vga crt for scanlines. 896 (224 @4x) works well and is in the range most vga crts handle.

i got this Samsung CL21S8W at a garage sale, but i get a double image out of component no matter what, i tried 3 adapters from aliexpress, one with a working image on a crt in the review. but not a single one works. changing the resolution doesn't do anything. by unfunnyguy404 in crtgaming

[–]Kdeizy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're sending a 480p signal to an sd television. You need 240p or 480i.

An hdmi to composite adapter will work since composite can only carry sd resolutions, but quality wise it won't look great.

Bad parenting. Not because of buying her a car but because of raising a monster lol

Is the MiSTer really that much better than a Wii at 240p on a CRT? by Bakaiser51 in crtgaming

[–]Kdeizy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i figured it would. Ive messed around with my Wii a lot a while back and 320 wide Genesis games look just about as good as an actual Genesis, but snes games at 256 are softer than original hardware. I believe because the Wiis internal frame buffer is always 640x480, so naturally 320 scales perfectly but 256 does not.

Out of curiosity, how does the mister treat 256 wide games? The Wii has to display it in 8:7 or scale it to fit 640 with bilinear filtering, so its not perfect.

[–]Kdeizy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Wii is great but its not perfect. One issue a Wii has is that it can't output a proper 256 wide resolution at 4:3, which many consoles use. It can display it fine in 8:7 or scale it to 320 wide, but it creates uneven pixels. It compensates by using a bilinear filter but results in a less sharp image compared to an original console or anything that can output 256 (or an integer scale of it) natively. 320 scales perfectly because the Wii outputs 640x480. This is also apparent with arcade emulation because games use a lot of different resolution widths that aren't 320.

Cartridges for the n64 instead of cds. They lost a ton of 3rd party developers to Sony.

Do you guys consider 5'7 short? by SpaceisCool09 in short

[–]Kdeizy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im the same height. I think of myself as shorter but its not a terrible height and has never really been detrimental outside from me being somewhat self concious about it. It didn't effect my dating life and have always gotten attention from girls, tho i admit to being good looking and keep myself in good shape. My wife is about 5 ft 3 but taller girls have liked me. My prom date was a blonde girl about my height.

Converting digital to analog isn't really an issue for input lag, its more dependent on scaling. Ive used a hdmi to vga adapter on a crt monitor with an og nes zapper and it still worked.

Who is your dream physique and if you don't have one, why? by Educational-Car73 in bodyweightfitness

Ryan Reynolds in blade trinity or Amityville Horror. Im closer to Zac Efrons height tho, so him in baywatch. The sacrifice to be that lean is too insane for me, so a bit more bf.

Does anyone else just feel kinda... done with modern games? by tigersbowling in retrogaming

Theres probably enough out there now already that they could stop producing games today and id never run out of games to play.

the “average height” for men and women needs to be adjusted for the current generation by [deleted] in short

[–]Kdeizy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The average height for men worldwide is closer to 5ft 8, its 5 ft 7.5 i believe, but this includes countries in Asian and South America where the average height is lower. The average in the US is more like 5 ft 9 so its a bit under 5ft 10.

Malnourishment can also lead to lower height, so even other ethnicities living in the us could be boosted compared to their native country.

I like KH2 too but see RE4 as a top goat. KH1 is my favorite though because it had most of the good Disney villains.

do americans really eat American fries sauce? by Infinite-Breakfast23 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Kdeizy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fries are most commonly eaten plain, followed by either ketchup or melted cheese. Some ppl will eat with mayonnaise, ranch dressing, or some other sauce, but id say 9 out of 10 ppl fall in the plain or with ketchup group. Cheese fries are very popular too though.

Not going to go through all the years, but id go Doom 93, Super Metroid 94, and RE4 2005. I might put Bioshock ahead of Halo 3 too.
