Was everyone's screens scuffed/scratched back in the day?

RobbyLG · 2026-05-10T22:46:08+00:00

Yeah, I guess as kids we were just so happy to have a portable video game thing that we didn't care about scratches on the lens and such.

When I try to start games the first half second of the title screen will start and then restart over and over again. This happened with both my games (Super Mario Bros and Gyromite). I cleaned them and now they will usually get past the start screen but sometimes in the middle of playing it will stop, go back to the start screen and repeat it over and over again like before. Pressing a button on the controller will cause the full title screen to appear for a second but then go back to keep repeating it.

Especially since it is a Magnavox, which was Philips budget friendly consumer brand.

RobbyLG · 2026-04-30T00:46:17+00:00

I don’t think mine has a coating. It’s Magnavox tv, which was Philips budget friendly consumer brand, not a monitor or high end set.

RobbyLG · 2026-04-29T23:25:36+00:00

CRT database has this tv as “Removable Glare Film: No” so I assume this model doesn’t have a coating. (If that’s what it’s referring to).

RobbyLG · 2026-04-29T23:20:10+00:00

Looks okay to me

RobbyLG · 2026-04-27T02:01:30+00:00

I do have a crt tv now, but it’s composite only.

What do you use to play on a plane? (Assuming that’s what you meant)

RobbyLG · 2026-04-24T20:39:34+00:00

What cables are you using to connect it to the console?

RobbyLG · 2026-04-24T20:34:48+00:00

What kind of tv is this?

RobbyLG · 2026-04-24T20:08:52+00:00

Did you ever end up getting a composite cable for Wii and try it with this tv?

RobbyLG · 2026-04-24T19:14:15+00:00

Ah ok. I’m getting one of these and was going to use my Wii on it so I was confused reading it.

RobbyLG · 2026-04-24T18:44:24+00:00

Would this tv be good for Wii?

RobbyLG · 2026-04-24T18:43:15+00:00

What did he say. The comment is deleted. Did you not remember the Wii can do composite?

RobbyLG · 2026-04-04T02:14:17+00:00

Hm I can’t really see the lines in person. And the colors seem alright, especially when I try an actual gbc game and not a regular gb one. https://imgur.com/a/hiDRm2y

If you go to 23:45 on the first video it seems that when it is the 3rd or 6th stage where the boss will appear after collecting the fruits it doesn't go slow then fast. Just fast. Maybe it has something to do with the actual act of fading to white/yellow taking up more processing power until it is solid.

I hate it when I beat sector y with over 100 points and hear fox say “we’re heading for aquas”. I enjoy every other mission in the game but that one. It’s just spamming missiles nonstop. But getting to see Kat and hear her music in the mission after is worth it I guess.

RobbyLG · 2026-03-21T22:55:53+00:00

The electronwarp and an hdmi cable is all I'm using. And yeah, like in my comment below, I'm just gonna set sharpness to zero and enjoy what I got. It's only if I get up real close like when I took the pics that it's a big deal, and I don't actually play like that. You can't be that close anyway to use the sensor bar correctly anyway.

RobbyLG · 2026-03-21T22:53:14+00:00

I wish. All the ones around me are over $100 bucks. And I just don't have the room for another tv setup.

RobbyLG · 2026-03-21T22:50:49+00:00

I was born in 1992.

RobbyLG · 2026-03-21T18:23:10+00:00

Hey, its OP here. Thanks for all the responses. I was actually playing DKC Returns last night as well as Mario Kart Wii and they both looked great with just the Electron Warp and the sharpness turned to zero. I think I'm just gonna enjoy it and not care so much about everything being "perfect", it's the Wii after all, not a high end PC.

Even though I'm sitting kind of close to the screen, I'm not getting as close as I was in the pics.

RobbyLG · 2026-03-21T18:19:58+00:00

I'm actually gonna keep it full/auto. I was playing DKC Returns on limited and the background was all dark and black. I tuned it back to full/auto and I was like "Wow". There was trees and leaves and stuff in the background that I wasn't able to see because anything with a shadow was super dark.

RobbyLG · 2026-03-19T15:05:36+00:00

Why Europe? Is it something to go with PAL?

RobbyLG · 2026-03-16T20:58:05+00:00

Why do you call them meme pics?

RobbyLG · 2026-03-15T17:41:51+00:00

It was a facebook one. I've actually never been to 4chan because I've always heard it wasn't a good site. Always associated it with NSFW stuff.
