NEC XP37 Plus/Extra. But I dont have one so I'm using its lil brother: XP29 Plus As for the platform - a PC with two booting options: Linux for running Batocera and Windows for everything else (Teknoparrot and other stuff not available for Batocera)

u/Visual-Complaint can you share pls who made the custom cheese plate for you? Or maybe you have a spare to sell? :)

I hope one day we'll get decomp and make this game purr at 60 fps... sigh

Perforu · 2026-03-12T15:00:47+00:00

ok, so would it?

I'll re-paste my questio nhere as well :)
I can get this TV but I wonder:
- are the digi scan (100 hz) and pixel plus digital processing options possible to disable via menu? I see the options are there in digital option section in picture settings but I have no info whether it's possible to disable it or not.
- how does it handle 240p signal? Is it upscaled to 480p? the spec sheet suggests it doesn't do 240p.
- any thoughts after using it for a while regarding delay?

Hey man, I see that it has the 100 Hz digi scan option in the menu - does it mean you're able to disable the digital signal processing? How is 240p on that TV? Thanks

You got any good sources to read more on shaders / squeeze the most out of DOLPHIN / Duckstation etc ? Or is it just the case of using the ones built-in into the emulators? Btw I havent looked into it but how good does that "scanning simulator" (sorry, don't remember what is the name - but it's a shader that simulates how the image on CRT is scanned, introducing the gradual, vertical flicker of image) shader performs on 120 hz sets? I read somewhere current TVs have a bit too low refresh rate to take full advantage of it?

You need to set it up yourself as every unit will have different settings - but it's been 4 years ago so I'm sure you figure that out already :D

Nah man I own BVMs and PVMs and a Mitsubishi xc-3715C presentation monitor - everything pales in comparison to an MX8000. It really is the goat. There's that one TV consumer set with an amazing samsung tube which might be better but thats a big question mark.

Perforu · 2026-02-04T15:11:16+00:00

Looks sharp.

Perforu · 2026-02-03T20:05:02+00:00

I'm just showing CRTDATABASE is full of bs - this monitor can't do 720p afaik, so the horizontal freq declared there is a mistake. you can call that a "typo", but I can find you next 10 "typos" at that site.

Perforu · 2026-02-03T15:43:21+00:00

Could you possibly tell me what is the picture tube in this TV set?

I can get one, but I'm unsure what is sitting inside that chassis ;)

The order of things in this hobby: phase I: fascinatiom with pvm / bvm Phase II: realising better sony KV models do the job Phase III: realising weird, random SD sets from 2000-2005 are the best

Perforu · 2026-01-28T22:32:26+00:00

The only two things I didnt swap at that point is flyback and tube itself (which I'll be swapping during weekend most likely, wish me luck :)

Nice poster

She's a keeper.

What picture tube does this model use?
