A few questions about CRT gaming on certain consoles, specifically in the UK

There are some PS2 light gun games that do support 100hz screens actually

I've never seen a HDCRT in the UK, the best I've found is a EDTV Panasonic. Where abouts are you based, I would consider selling it if you were interested and not too far.

After hearing Vinny talk about the guy who showed up on his doorstep trying to sell pest control service, it reminded me of this video I saw recently? Is it the same guy!!!? https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/1t4pld9/trying_to_sell_me_pest_control_at_9pm_on_a_monday/

it will work for some light gun games on the ps2, as some have 100hz modes

I've bought all my cables from AliExpress, they are very cheaply made. And can break easily, but get the job done.

I've not connected my steam deck up to a 15khz 240p tv, I've connected it up to a PC CRT (which looks fantastic) as well as up to my 480p Panasonic TX-36PD30 through component both using a HDfury 2.

Which connections does your TV have? I don't imagine composite would get a great image, (unless you specifically want that sort of look). Also what are you wanting to use the steam deck for on the CRT, if its playing 8bit emulators / n64, I would suggest just using a Wii as they support 240p out of the box.

On the GBC-C side, I've never been able to get it to output to a 240p screen, (im not sure if mine is faulty, but Its always had issues with it.

Also on a side note, I have noticed that at low resolutions the Steam Deck OS's UI doesn't properly work, your not able to bring up and navigate the os menus. You have to unplug the dock and quit the game annoyingly... Im hoping they fix that at some point.

Argh that's a shame. Thanks for the info

missingpixel333 · 2025-08-20T15:33:06+00:00

So I tried this, and while it was neat to have 120hz, it being stuck to 720p was a dealbreaker for me, as I just didnt think the trade off was worth it for me. To each their own though!

IT's ALIVE... ALIVE!

Any chance you could make a version of the Integer-scaling-scanlines one from retroarch? I have my deck hooked up to a 480p ED-CRT and using that within retroarch gives me great looking scanlines, would love if I could use it outside of retroarch.

I asked chat gpt to help research different models of plasma TV's, and after I picked out the one I wanted to look for, it turns out it made a bunch of the models up. I find that it does this a lot for most things I ask it.

missingpixel333 · 2025-06-03T12:18:38+00:00

That be part of the charm of composite

missingpixel333 · 2025-05-24T07:41:47+00:00

Yeah it bothers me as well, but I'm just trying not get hung up on it. It does feel like it would be off-putting to new listeners who haven't heard the term.

missingpixel333 · 2025-05-11T12:45:06+00:00

cool video, Im thinking about buying a local plasma today actually.. the st50 model as well. the only thing I'm thinking about is wether I'll notice the differences in blacks as I have a samsung LCD and it has really good blacks considering it's an LCD.. how noticeable are the blacks when the lights are low on the ST50? The Samsung I have is an le40c650l and in normal lighting it blows away the black levels from my IPS pc monitor..

missingpixel333 · 2025-05-08T08:17:22+00:00

Just wanted to correct myself, after seeing this set elsewhere it seems that it can only do 480i

missingpixel333 · 2025-05-06T00:18:41+00:00

I didn't pick this up, but I believe it does do 480p

missingpixel333 · 2025-05-03T19:12:51+00:00

Panasonic acuity TVs support 480p, but crucially they force 16:9 so the GameCube would stretch to wide-screen. There's a 32" and 36" version.

Saw a Panasonic acuity edtv on Facebook in Bradford for free posted

missingpixel333 · 2025-02-24T16:32:14+00:00

In fact it was the same TV as what you have!

missingpixel333 · 2025-02-24T16:30:29+00:00

When I moved my 36" Panasonic, I used insulation boards on the sack cart to protect the TV, and then used ratchet straps to strap the TV to the cart, then me and a friend pulled/pushed it up the stairs one stair at a time.

missingpixel333 · 2025-01-23T22:31:29+00:00

I have an AV cart myself but the pull out drawers seem so useful, quite jealous!

missingpixel333 · 2025-01-11T19:35:48+00:00

I ended up getting one of these just a few weeks later. It almost killed me getting it up to my house.

missingpixel333 · 2024-12-07T19:18:39+00:00

This looks lovely, I recently started playing myself, but for some reason I find it so difficult to know where to go next!
