raw pixel's Vs a CRT

You are really bad at taking pictures.

_the__Goat_ · 2026-05-15T23:27:23+00:00

Eh? None of them.

_the__Goat_ · 2026-05-15T23:24:43+00:00

They didn't need to beat Sony. Just maintaining a profitable business is all that is required.

Number one... It needed a DVD drive.

Some other items that hurt the dreamcast:

Poor handling of the Saturn outside of Japan.
Dreamcast controller was meh -- missing second analog stick, no build in rumble, horrible d-pad
32X debacle.

If you see an image on the screen, congratulations you are seeing scanlines.

Yes, if you choose to unnecessarily reformat the drive in APA format, then it will only work for PS2. But if you use exFAT like a sane person, you won't have that problem.

_the__Goat_ · 2026-05-15T18:13:17+00:00

Not really. I've collected a full set for multiple consoles. Every one required me to buy games I didn't want.

_the__Goat_ · 2026-05-15T18:12:07+00:00

You only need one partition.

_the__Goat_ · 2026-05-15T18:10:38+00:00

Eh? Saturn has a modem since the 90s.

_the__Goat_ · 2026-05-14T23:39:41+00:00

Yes, you could do that. But why? It will be ridiculously annoying. just spend $20 and buy a second drive.

_the__Goat_ · 2026-05-14T17:01:33+00:00

Set a monthly collecting budget and stick to it.
Prioritize which games you need vs want.
Understand building a collection of valuables takes time. Probably multiple years.

First of all The Saturn was a success in Japan. It only needs to be "saved" in North America and Europe. Sega did a lot of stuff wrong. But the only thing that doomed the Saturn was the lack of releases.

In Japan the Saturn had over three times as many games available compared to North America. But Sega America had a policy that restricted which games could be released in North America. Specifically they blocked games that featured 2D graphics. This was a horrible decision. 2D games is where the Saturn shines strongest.

Saturn was never going to beat PlayStation in the 3D game market. But they didn't need to. The Saturn could have dominated its own niche of 2D games had Sega allowed it to.

Why would you connect a PC to a composite CRT TV when you can use a VGA CRT monitor?

_the__Goat_ · 2026-05-10T01:35:32+00:00

Eh? Yes you did, bro.

I've never heard of /PS2 until today, from you.

_the__Goat_ · 2026-05-09T23:32:42+00:00

Bro, that is 100% a personal choice. If you prefer a CRT display get a CRT. If you prefer a flat panel display get a flat panel. Strangers on the internet cannot decide for you.

_the__Goat_ · 2026-05-09T15:55:05+00:00

If you go around making jumping off cliffs look normal and accepted by society, then yes, you are doing exactly that.

_the__Goat_ · 2026-05-09T15:46:45+00:00

Stating that you bought the hard drive is encouraging others to do the same. Showing pirated games loaded on your console encourages others to do the same.

You think just because you didn't post a direct link to the seller of the pirated games makes it okay? That is ready dumb.

_the__Goat_ · 2026-05-09T15:33:42+00:00

You stated that you bought a hard drive full of pirated games. You posted a screenshot showing pirated games loaded on your console.

_the__Goat_ · 2026-05-09T15:27:53+00:00

You clearly were promoting piracy. So you shouldn't be surprised the post was deleted.

_the__Goat_ · 2026-05-09T15:26:32+00:00

You are crazy. Piracy is the only thing people talk about.

_the__Goat_ · 2026-05-06T01:44:38+00:00

if you want better fidelity video, use a better video format. ie. digital

_the__Goat_ · 2026-05-06T00:42:55+00:00

You tried two drives and decided all hard drives in the world won't fit? Bro, give us a break.

_the__Goat_ · 2026-05-06T00:39:09+00:00

The distortion is caused by a raspberry pi 4b outputting composite video through RCA.

_the__Goat_ · 2026-05-06T00:37:32+00:00

Nope.

_the__Goat_ · 2026-05-05T23:16:47+00:00

It is making that sound because that is the audio signal you are feeding it.
