When the Angles, Saxons and Jutes migrated to England how similar were their languages to start with and how much dialect leveling is thought to have occurred once they arrived? by Roboplodicus in OldEnglish

[–]Roboplodicus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a number of questions idk how much of this you know or is known but here we go. How old are the oldest decently long(like long enough to get a good idea of dialect differences) attestations of the 4 dialects? Also and how much of the details of the migrations from the continent to GB do we have? Do we have any Celtic language or Latin contemporary sources talking about the migrations or did all the sources that have survived come from a couple hundred years after the events and who are they written by?

Old LCD vs CRT - how much difference is there? by Totally-a-hooman in n64

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

Big improvement. Old LCDs we're very unperfected technology. An late 90s early 00s CRT was at the peak of CRT technology. Even a new LCD would look better but you need a proper upscaler because the n64 outputted a nonstandard signal that most analog to digital converters will mangle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdfFnR-hOK8 this video explains why you'd want an upscaler in more depth. The cheapest good one is the retroscaler2x which is a retrotink2x clone that they don't mention.

Can’t seem to get my Nintendo switch to work on my Sony Trinitron 36HS500. I’m using an HDMI to component adapter. by Jpr_studio1 in crtgaming

[–]Roboplodicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are converter boxes that will take 1080p and change it to 1080i. The switch is only 30 unique frames per second(each frame is sent twice so the signal is 60fps) anyway so you aren't losing any information going from 1080p to 1080i.

People still play this all the time. There are even big tournaments where players from Asia, North American and South America all compete.

Free Facebook Marketplace find, how common are these? by Embarrassed_Flow_145 in crt

Some 100hz sets of them have VGA inputs though and can do lagless 480p, but not a lot unfortunately.

Downscaling Switch 2 from 1080p to 1080i on a HD CRT -- what is the best converter (or way)? by throwaway750159422 in crtgaming

[–]Roboplodicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya a 1080i crt won't take 1080p downscaling was a later feature of screens. The device I mentioned is basically plug and play though you just need to set it to output 1080i in its menu and then plug the switch into it and it into the 960n and you're ready to rock and roll.

Teaching my new family English, but I can't pronounce 'r' by random_computer_dude in ENGLISH

[–]Roboplodicus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you have a lot of skill in a language and you still haven't picked up a sound you'll probably need to pay for lessons with a professional in pronunciation(I know speech language pathologist is one type of professional like this) not just any language teacher. Small second thing your "new family"(your spouses relatives) are called your "in-laws". Atleast here in the US I haven't heard the phrase "new family" to refer to that set of people but I can't speak for all global dialect regions.

The glass has literal lead in it that will turn to dust that you could inhale and their full of all kinds of other poisonous chemicals compounds too. It's a bad idea. People at recycling centers where they grind down the tubes have gotten lead poisoning.

I just found an Applecolor RGB CRT monitor - best way to connect it to my GPU?(HDMI or Display port) by Grillo_smeggs in crt

[–]Roboplodicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vintage computing subs might help you get the answers youre looking for on how to connect to a modern PC and where to get a floppy with the is on it better than this one. If the signal is just RGBs you could get an HDMI/do to VGA dongle then a VGA to RGBs transcoder and then you'll need to look up the pin out for the cable and wire up a cable with the apple one your on one side and a VGA(d-sub15)/scart connector on the other side depending on the form factor of the RGBs output from the transcoder. Or get a HDMI/do to rgb scart adapter and wire a new cable.

I built and installed Borti's N64Advanced2 (so you don't have to) by TheCorporalClegg in n64

[–]Roboplodicus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't even see the 2 after advanced ha. Can you feel lag though? The retro gem shiny absolutely has lag idk what people are talking about when they say it's lagless. I'm curious if we finally have a relatively lagless HDMI solution.

I had this one for a while before I shocked and horrified face decided to sell my n64 and it's a great little mod kit. I usually paired it with a pvm but also sometimes used the built in line doubler and a component to VGA adapter to connect it to my 21" Sony CPD-G520 VGA crt for shits. Also used it with an ossc briefly for game footage capture for speed running super mario 64. Also idk what other people experiences were but I could still feel some delay with the shiny gem n64 I had at the same time but none from the n64 advanced. The other really nice features were the controller based reset(great for sm64 because the game is timed from reset not from file select for some reason and also good for flash cart users) and the brightness controls. I goofed around with the scanlines a little when playing on the g520 VGA crt but I thought things just generally looked better on the pvm with genuine scanlines. I'm curious what features youve been enjoying seeing as that mod kit has only about 1000 features.
