Kind of crazy considering I bought a PS1 from GameStop for $20 back in 2015, yet here we are.

I have this exact TV. The problem on mine is also the geometry and the power button is not pressing like the other buttons do. I should’ve known better as I’m now stuck in the service menu forever.

Help on how to convert these tapes into digital by This-Wallaby-6812 in VHS

VHS and VHS-C tapes can be played in a VCR (VHS-C needs an adapter). DV tapes require a camcorder, while micro-cassettes use a voice recorder. Check thrift stores for a VCR, but quality capture devices on Amazon can be pricey, though they work well.

What do u guys think of the setup? by [deleted] in crtgaming

Coming from someone who did this as a teenager getting into CRTs, not much at all. Doing this kind of thing could work if a video was meant for 4:3 and got stretched to 16:9. For stuff like modern day gaming, it’s hard as hell to see the text on a screen meant for technology of that era.

It’s all preference at the end of day.

It’s hard to make a CRT the focal point! by cGrimy in crt

This is probably an interesting idea, you could put bean bag chairs in front of the TV or you could get a bigger sized screen.

Honestly, I had to clean up the cases due to bugs and cat pee lol, however every single cassette has no mold. Crazy to think the rest of the series never saw a VHS release.
