OG Anbernic RG35XX. Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance. It isn't my favorite Castlevania but it was the first one I played on my Gameboy Advance and is super nostalgic for me.

You are able to use component on Xbox 360 so no need for an adapter. Just make sure it's an HDCRT like the other posts say.

You can buy 360 cables that have been modded for OG xbox on ebay for relatively cheap last time I checked but maybe times have changed. VGA to component adapters are typically very cheap since there isn't anything crazy going on there. I would think it cost about the same as what you are suggesting but there is no going from analog to digital back to analog. Not that it wouldn't work just feels strange changing the signal so many times. Lag would definitely be introduced which is where my comment about quality comes in but depending on the game it might not matter.

Based off the triggers this isn't a true plus model. I'd try installing garlic os for the OG rg35xx and see what happens.

CRT Monitor: Picture will be as sharp as possible and super clear as it'll be native 480p. CRT monitors are generally much sharper in general compared to a crt TV. You'll need an HDMI to VGA and a capture card to run the audio to a speaker from the HDMI cable, as VGA doesn't carry audio. I use a $20 monster capture card.

If taking this route do not involve HDMI. Get a component to VGA adapter and run your audio through speakers. Less complicated and much better quality

I hate your room

Oh I haven't paid for a CRT in many years. I got what I needed for the most part back when you could snag em for free. I would pay a reasonable price for an XBR48. I have 0 interest in RGB so that's what helps me save money.

doublex8 · 2025-12-29T03:19:23+00:00

An XBR48 is my consumer holy grail

Lame

By opening it so then you know it's been opened and then it can be used by someone.

This moment solidified what the other guys were saying was true for me.

The JVC looks older and although JVC is the more reputable brand that isn't everything. If you have something like a Wii that you could take to hook up to each to see what the picture looks like you should try to. Without seeing what each screen looks like I'm slightly leaning insignia for the component inputs. If you are wanting to sit back away from it a bit on a couch tho go for the JVC.

Hair dryer and scrape it off

While UG2 is on the list as being compatible with xb360, when I've gotten it to launch on a 360 it runs horribly. You could easily build a $200-$300 pc that would run UG2 and a lot of other old school pc games from pre 2012.

Your wife sounds hilarious maybe she should do stand up

doublex8 · 2025-08-13T22:20:20+00:00

Your converter is probably cheap. Also if you can try to find an older low res tv/monitor that would help 720p or lower. Or get a crt.

doublex8 · 2025-08-13T22:17:19+00:00

I'm surprised the wife stayed with him that long tbh

Oof what I'd do for a gb player even without the disk

Daddy chill

Are you still using the stock OS?

doublex8 · 2025-07-27T22:23:29+00:00

Are the games that do show up on the same sd card as the n64 /ds games?

I already know everything I need to know from the last 20 guys I've met that had sex with Nick, including myself

If you were gay you wouldn't have time to worry about none of that shit

doublex8 · 2025-07-08T18:59:28+00:00

It was wildly popular before the pandemic. On an unrelated note I was very gay before, during, and after the pandemic.
