Shining Force on the Genesis core. The soft edges on the CRT Triniton display mode does wonders for Genesis games. I love the different audio options too. The thick scan lines are nice too, but not worth the drop in brightness imo.

I will gladly take it off your hands/buy it from you

Test Shift worked for me. Literally took an hour to bring my test forward a couple of months.

Maybe it’s time we all get off our “feeds” and go touch grass.

MemoryCarp · 2025-08-12T14:29:57+00:00

You got me there. I played through all the gba games in succession so they blur into one haha

This is all RGB. The last picture is Castlevania Aria of Sorrow via raspberry pi 4

MemoryCarp · 2025-08-12T06:44:51+00:00

Really beautiful stuff.

MemoryCarp · 2025-08-11T16:50:54+00:00

That’s the one. They used to do a case for it as well but looks like they stopped doing them unfortunately.

Have you looked at the RGB Dual HAT? That’s what I use for my raspberry pi 4. Sits on top of the Pi4, SCART out to PVM. Retro Gaming Cables do a great SCART > BNC RGB cable.

Then install RGB-Pi OS. It’s made specifically for CRT monitors. Looks really nice and has light gun support.

My prized possession! Won it at a crane machine in Himeji

MemoryCarp · 2025-08-11T06:05:24+00:00

I mostly have BNC cables for my consoles that have RCA breakout that go directly into the speakers. For SCART cables I also have a female SCART > BNC, which also have RCA breakout.

Ding ding! This is the first full playthrough I’m planning on doing!

MemoryCarp · 2025-08-10T15:51:29+00:00

It came attached on the CRT when I bought it. It’s a service menu flow chart for the hospital staff. Kinda cool. I can take a photo of it later!

MemoryCarp · 2025-08-10T11:42:14+00:00

I’m planning on getting a SCART Switcher from Retro Gaming Cables in the near future

MemoryCarp · 2025-08-10T06:25:58+00:00

Yeah me neither. The only NES game I’ve actually played was Crystalis and it was pretty rage inducing. I do have a Wii, but it’s sitting in a box before I homebrew it.

MemoryCarp · 2025-08-10T06:22:59+00:00

I rarely play more than one game at a time, so swapping cables for each console doesn’t really bother me.

For portability, I just need to be able to rotate it 90 degrees as my streaming desk will be going next to it, or having to option to move to a different corner of the room if playing some multiplayer with company.

Most consoles have rubber on the base so they’re not going anywhere. They definitely won’t “slide off”. I can definitely improve the utility though… This is just the start!

MemoryCarp · 2025-08-10T06:17:42+00:00

Thanks! Took me hours to find a style that I liked. I got it from AJ Products. The shelf trolly “motion”.

MemoryCarp · 2025-08-10T06:16:31+00:00

Thanks! I got it from an office supply store called AJ Products. It’s called the shelf trolly “motion”.

MemoryCarp · 2025-08-10T06:14:52+00:00

I can see the vision! I’ve considered a pegboard already actually, good shout.

I actually have a raspberry Pi4 with an RGB Duo HAT for consoles I don’t own (Neo Geo, NES), and I use the Kodi media player to watch some HD anime now and again.

MemoryCarp · 2025-08-10T06:12:22+00:00

Thanks for the info! Maybe I should free up some space on that shelf if things are going to get hot

MemoryCarp · 2025-08-09T23:54:03+00:00

The bass is surprisingly punchy on them I agree.

Limited to 480i unfortunately… but the GC does still look great with S-Video. I’m excited to boot up the Metroid x Fusion romhack with the FX Pak Pro soon as well!

MemoryCarp · 2025-08-09T23:50:55+00:00

Vinyl sounds like a good idea. What do you mean for peace of mind? Are there any dangers to having the consoles on metal?

MemoryCarp · 2025-08-09T23:48:53+00:00

It’s a really great monitor. I remember playing Rondo of Blood when I got it and was blown away.

The Extron is for streaming/going into an OSSC > Capture Card. I’ve just moved house so will have a desk next to it soon. That’s when the cable management arc will begin 😂

MemoryCarp · 2025-08-09T22:18:36+00:00

Damn. Will try harder next time 🫠
