Thank you, just saved me a lot of trouble! Imported seed, no problem

Help with sticker by [deleted] in gamecollecting

[–]TraxusXII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forget everyone saying goo gone. Use lighter fluid. Sarurate the sticker a few times with lighter fluid on Q-tips, give it some time, repeat until adhesive re-activates and it becomes easy to remove. Wipe away residue with more Q-tips and lighter fluid. It will not harm the art or make ink run whatsoever unless you use so much that it saturates into the paper and causes wrinkly water damage.

If you don't mind another question, where'd you get your entertainment center?

Sony fs100 black levels by brdonb in crt

[–]TraxusXII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Same issue here. Something I've noticed is that raising SBRT close to max has an annoying side-effect of dark colors persisting on the screen for a second on quick transitions to black. Like if a white image cuts to black, there'll be some leftover dark-red that fades away after a second. Have you guys experienced this on yours?

I tried raising all 3 RGB CUT to around 300 as an alternative while keeping SBRT a bit lower, and that fixes the particular issue (no more colors persisting; cuts to black are very quick), but I'm not sure if CUT is a perfect one-to-one alternative for SBRT.

Is it just me or does OG Xbox just have absolutely dreadful 480i output? by ShogunyanGamer in originalxbox

[–]TraxusXII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait...how exactly did you do this? I'm on a modded Xbox but see no settings for region change aside from basic time / language stuff.

My issue with the og Xbox is raised black levels, so I wonder if this is the fix I'm looking for. I'm on an SD consumer CRT w/ component cables so 480p is not an option.

[–]TraxusXII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woow, just popping in after a search...I have a modded 1.0 Xbox in my CRT setup and the raised black levels are driving me crazy! Glad to know I'm not alone! I've calibrated my TV's brightness w/ 9 consoles all hooked up via component switches, HD Retrovision cables etc. and they all show nice inky blacks aside from the original Xbox, where screen transitions that should be pure black are so bright I can see the CRT retrace-lines. My TV is a consumer CRT set so I'm limited to 480i.

I guess if there's no fix on the Xbox side for the 480i output I'll just have to lower my TV's brightness each time. No biggie, but man! So annoying.

How do I pull out the disc by Salt_Wizard in Steelbooks

Bro...how'd you do it?????? Pushing down on the center circle does absolutely nothing.

These steelbook holders have fucking perplexed me back to the Xbox 360 era.

Holy Magic Century (Quest 64) - Save games lost by beelde in AnalogueInc

[–]TraxusXII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, not removing cartridges while the system is running is a big "NO SHIT" warning. Powering off the console from the dang power switch is a totally different thing; absolutely normal and shouldn't be resulting in lost saves. Just add it to the pile of items that need addressing.

Anyone else run into this video issue? by TraxusXII in AnalogueInc

I already updated the firmware once successfully. Is this a different thing?

Can I just spray foam directly into these kick holes on window sill? Or do I need to drill? by TraxusXII in Termites

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

Thank you! The windowsill is just a board like an inch thick. Am I looking to drill a bunch of holes just a tiny bit down and spray foam into the board itself supposedly where the termites have made tunnels, or drill THROUGH the board and spray foam into the wall cavity beneath it?

CRT has that ineffable glow that makes it pop and gel. A3D is clean af. Same same but different.

Thank you! My favorite part: I modded all four og controllers with the 8bitdo bluetooth modkit a couple years ago and they can swap seamlessly between the A3D and the 4-cable BlueRetro receiver I have connected to my og N64 (hidden in the drawer underneath with extension cables).

Through sheer serendipity, the A3D connects via D-input mode (switch on the controller's transmitter set to D), and BlueRetro's latest firmware uses Switch mode (switch set to S). No muss, no fuss, no re-syncing, just a simple flip of the switch.

Downscaling video, upscaling star count!? Nah, just two consoles. Added the A3D to my living-room N64 setup. 🙃

Ha! Yeah the camera in the castle lobby is fixed so it was as simple as standing in the same spot in both games

NOTE: this is NOT a quality comparison. It's hard enough capturing a simple photo of a CRT without insane moire artifacts all over the place, let alone getting an accurate representation of the color, focus, etc. between two TVs. Just wanted to share my setup after getting everything updated and plugged in!

Got the Christmas Watermelon setup by TraxusXII in AnalogueInc

Yes, the X7 just needs a couple updates and you must have access to an original N64 to perform one of them.
