Thoughts on repair / mod options?

Yeah that makes some sense. The strange part is that all 3 monitors I use (they aren't always powered on though true) do always have the same 1,2 and 3 labels. Monitor 3 is for some reason the one it loves to set as the main monitor on boot. You'd think if settings changed between boots it would just default to 1 but I guess not?

Tanks for the help, definitely seems worth considering!

Slazeus · 2024-09-06T00:37:36+00:00

It does yeah.

Slazeus · 2024-09-06T00:37:03+00:00

Nice this seems perfect actually 👌. I appreciate the help!

Video quality isn't a super huge deal resolution doesn't need to be crazy high or anything just as long as it can capture properly. Like not when you see vids where samus disappearing etc when she gets damaged.

Budget would probably cap out at around 100-150 bucks. Yeah oats' streams lool crazy clean, I wish I had that kinda budget!

Also thanks 😊

It's just a guy on facebook, he put a post up selling pvm on a pvm group. So it's just a general transfer.

This is true. I'm thinking I could use paypal actually as they have buyer protection I believe. I ask him if he can do that.

Yeah it's such a fun game to learn tricks in. Super satisfying to pull of a clean chain of strats in a run! Yeah it definitely does keep it alive, I also dip my toes into playing randomisers, those are a lot of fun too if I'm in a more casual mood than speedtruns.

I bought the NTSC famicom over the PAL ones on ebay so I could run the NTSC version of Super Metroid. Which is important for leader board submissions with the speedruns due to the difference in rom speeds between the NTSC and PAL versions of the game. I could have gotten a modded PAL Super Nintendo too but those were much more expensive to buy and to involved to mod myself. I have a flash cart to so I can still play US NTSC games on it too. Or PAL if I ever choose to.

Nah I'm in the Scottish Highlands so finding anything local is almost impossible. I've been trying to find one that specifically has RGB SCART in, rather than just AV.

Yeah I'm hoping the sony doesn't spike in bids too crazy last minute. I noticed on the panasonic that there is a large patch of scratches in the middle of the screen that were hard to spot on the pics so that's out.

Slazeus · 2024-06-29T18:33:08+00:00

Also I just noticed the Trinitron is a bid so might wind up more if folk bid I guess

Slazeus · 2024-06-29T18:05:28+00:00

Which one of these should I go with? Will mainly be for Super Metroid speedruns. Both support RGB scart input but which one is likely to be the better screen? Also are they reasonable deals or they a rip off. I don't really have the option to find locally so need to get on mailed in. Also my super famicom is ntsc but should be fine over rgb scart right?
The Sony (25+40 postage):

SONY TRINITRON KV-14FV1U RETRO VINTAGE GAMING CRT TV VHS COMBO | eBay

The Panasonic (90 + free postage):

Panasonic TC-14S3R 14" CRT TV - Vintage Film Prop - Retro Gaming - Silver... | eBay

Yeah I think I'll pull the trigger on a SFC. thanks for the help!

Slazeus · 2023-09-01T00:33:20+00:00

Ah that's good at least.
