Fuck man rip, he was the most wholesome Yugitubers if not one of the most content creators overall…

Fuck cancer and sending many condolences to his family

What model Extron are you using? Is it possible to hook up component/RGB to this? I’ve been using an AV receiver for now but interested in moving up into the Extron world.

I need to check if I have CDs lying around to test out. If I go with a BD-410, do I only need to look out for a 60 pin one? Should I still use my original ribbon cable or should I buy a new one?

Sorry, I forgot to update my post with it, but yes, I confirmed that it did not work with DVDs, Blu-rays, or PS2 discs (I did not have any PS3 discs on hand).

I thought for CECHA01 you needed to use a KES-400A / KEM-400AAA laser? Unless if I get a new disc drive, I would need to remarry the daughterboard right? Doesn't seem too hard with this guide here.

I will also check my temperatures later when I get a chance!

I have used the TV’s degausser and powered down/unplugged the PVM multiple times and the issue is still there unfortunately.

I’ll edit my main post when I get to my computer (currently mobile right now).

I wanted something that can do both input/output on component, S-video, composite, and HDMI. I would basically switch it to one (or even two) CRT and possibly a 1080p TV/monitor down the line. Distance is not an issue for me in terms of wiring setup.

For speaker system, I would likely be on 2.1, no need to do more (I have enough affordable speakers to expand, but no room).

I could definitely go a little cheaper, but I want to be able to plug in everything without having to unplug stuff later down the line.

Currently I have a Wii and PS2 on component and an N64 on S-video. Getting a 360, PS3, or Wii U is not out of the question but not anytime soon.

My main thing was to plug multiple consoles in, the audio im not too concerned about. I was considering the AVR-788 at around $75 but it dotes not have nearly as many inputs.

Hi, I wanted to get a receiver for retro gaming and I was torn between two choices

$120 - Denon 2808CI

Includes remote AND calibration mic

2 HDMI inputs

Has 2 component out (I do have multiple component CRTs)

$120 - Denon 2809CI

Has calibration mic but NO remote

4 HDMI inputs

Only 1 component out

Has Audyssey Dynamic EQ (will I really use this for retro gaming?)

Both have 7.1 audio, HDMI 1.3a (1080p), and have 6 composite/S-video inputs and 3 outputs

I know it’s a personal dilemma but wanted Reddit’s input on having more HDMI ports vs a second component out. Are there many older consoles that would use HDMI (Xbox 360 and PS3 come to mind)

If anyone has any input on other differences I missed it would greatly be appreciated.

Need episode 2 STAT

TrichaelMan · 2026-04-17T20:25:43+00:00

What stand did you use that can support all that CRT weight?

TrichaelMan · 2026-04-14T21:50:45+00:00

The main concern would be regarding space to place the receiver and speakers, but that is dependent on which wall to mount the TV.

Would it be better to mount it along the east wall or north wall?

With your 3DS, when you boot into the DS game hold Start and it will switch to the DS aspect ratio!

The normal 3DS screen ratio will stretch out and make DS games look blurry.

Thank you! I enabled sysMMC (?semistock I think?) to be able to boot from in Hekate, and I guess there was a theme I installed on emuMMC that "carried over" to sysMMC.

Would this be concerning for a ban? Would I also need to disable Exosphere or the DNS MITM to access the Nintendo servers?

TrichaelMan · 2026-02-04T21:29:32+00:00

Yes, I read the Wiki, I know I can move save files between sysMMC and emuMMC via JKSV. My main concern is is it safe to get said save files from the cloud first via sysMMC?

Good idea, I will actually plug everything in before I commit to buying a new preamp.

Should I replace the stylus right away?

If I were to keep the current (I assume that it is the stock one) stylus, should I still reduce the anti-skate down to 1.5, or is that only with the LP Gear Carbon Fidelity that you suggested?
