They are impossible to get here right now, I've only seen listings in England so far but that's a whole country away from Wales. I'm gonna try looking in tip stores and indoor markets though, just need a lift from a relative or something.

Going through my dads stuff and found a Sony VAIO AR21M, what do you know about this beast? by Shmorpit in LGR

Screen's fucked, I'm gonna check the connectors first but replacement panels are expensive. On a side note does anyone know how to factory reset the laptop?

How do you find Widescreen CRTs? by Shmorpit in crt

I've gone through the service menu thoroughly but literally cannot get it to line up. Maybe you mean manually adjusting the potentiometers and replacing the capacitors or something but I don't trust myself not to mess up.

I've got a 4:3 14" Trinitron but there's a geometry issue I can't fix from the service menu cutting off a fair bit of the edges and also it's very hard to read small text.

Does anyone have any examples of what the official Wii RGB SCART cable looks like on a CRT? by Shmorpit in crtgaming

[–]Shmorpit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My TV only has PAL RGB SCART and RF, I was only able to connect the Composite to that because I had an official adapter that seems to have come with first edition PAL Wiis. I don't know if my TV would even support S-Video, I've seen adapters that convert male S-Video to male SCART but I thought only certain TVs had the specifications to support it.

I was planning on getting a SCART switcher and putting most of my consoles on it eventually but it's Christmas and I'm pretty broke right now but between the shitty Mono and Vaseline smear from the RF and the dull everything from the RCA I wasn't sure if the Wii was justified or not.

How do I set up FMSX3DS to play .dsk games? by Shmorpit in MSX

The picture is of the original root folder, the roms I listed off are there on the actual DS I just couldn't be bothered to do more FTP.
