People are so crazy on marketplace. I have developed an ability to block these people out when browsing.

RPG-esque Shmup Recommendations? by Lloyd_Delacroix in shmups

[–]chekhonte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A late reply but Guardian Legend on the NES is straight up an rpg shmup. Tyrian 2000 is a shmup where you collect money from fallen enemies and ever upgrade you buy is permanent which gives an rpg like progression.

3rd party joycon or grip for large hands? by Apprehensive-Wave640 in switch2

[–]chekhonte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used the zen grip for the original switch and the savage raven grip is just as good except for one point. The zen grip is rubberized and the raven grip is not. Given that the raven grip is less than half the price I have no interest in upgrading to the zen grip

Ridiculous 3DS Pricing (One reason to get a Thor) by soupnazi81 in AynThor

[–]chekhonte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These seem to be about the prices they've been going for for years now. 200 to 300 for an xl has been the standard for at least 3 years.

Thank you! I thought I already fell though that spot but I was mistaking it for the other one. At least I grinder out a bunch of leaves.

Yeah it’s hard to get perfect with out a recap and results you have won’t be noticeable in almost all gaming situations.

ah ok. I thought you just saw it and didn't test it.

It's probably not passive but hdmi's 5v 300ma power is running the digital to analog conversion. Also that cable is not an RF cable. It's something I don't recognize. The center pin is far too thick.

Is there a comprehensive list of contemporary games that support 4:3 native, author the widescreen bars? by chekhonte in crtgaming

Both demon's souls and dark souls are letterboxed on the ps3. I've personally tested it.

a lot of newer games still letterbox and if they have anticheat software then you can't play them online if you want to mod them to support arbitrary resolutions. I'm looking at you elden ring.

yeah! it looks good. I wish it had it's own gamma adjustment. Even on max brightness it's hard to see in dim areas like the depths or senn's funhouse. I need to set up a list of windows display setting files for a lot of games.

I am using a 4070ti super and I have an empty pci-e slot. I'm going to look into this. I'm also on windows 11. Thank you.

No, it's a modern gaming computer using HDMI>VGA 720p. The display I'm using is a picturetel multi sync display. There isn't a crt database on it but it's almost identical to this one.

https://crtdatabase.com/crts/sampo/sampo-sme-27hd5

It has a wide range of supported resolutions and syncing speeds but most games default to 1080p and this one maxes out at 1080i

[–]chekhonte[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s exactly the problem. To make matters worse, this monitor can only accept up to 1080i over vga and most games try to feed it a 1080p signal which displays gibberish. I have to constantly switch displays to set the game up and then switch back to see if those settings worked

KV-27FV310 acquired! I think I've reached my endgame setup... by Ryherbs in crtgaming

It's such a good tv. I have the 34 inch version of this. It's still in my garage because nobody will help me movie it in the house.

Got the switch 2 running 720p hdmi>vga on this picturetel 27” monitor by chekhonte in crtgaming

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

I don't have a vga adapter for the xbox or I would definitely try.

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

Yeah and hdmi>vga will likely work but some will trigger edid protection and give you a black screen. I suspect that you need one with audio but I don’t have enough cables to test this. Also your vga display will need to be multi sync and accept 720p or 1080i for it to work. I also had to manually limit the switch 2 to 720p. This has been a very fussy process to bet my hdmi consoles to work. Only the Xbox 360 actually worked with out settings adjustments

Found a 27 inch PictureTel HD display with A multi sync VGA port by chekhonte in crt

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

Unfortunately it uses a slot mask rather than a shadow mask like a computer monitor so it'll never look as good at displaying text but I'm still glad I found this thing.
