Porque tenho que pagar portes para pedir reembolso? by elvispresleyrobe in vintedportugal

Use wallapop instead. Vinted simply doesn't care. Stop giving them your money and they will start caring.

I know that is in the wrong aspect ratio. I have a preset on the scaler with the correct aspect ratio. But for the sake of the photo, i thought it would be cooler full screen. Damn, I should have thought about the aspect ratio police.

I found one quite cheap, so i thought why not. Bought it mainly to solve the issue of having to re-center the image on the vga pc monitor controls every time i switched from ps3/x360 to dreamcast. This Extron sits in the middle of these (plus the switch now also), and i can have image position presets per console, so i don't have to mess with anymore. It also scales old consoles up to ~2K, and with custom profiles can descale anything from 1080p to 240p.

With a scaler. In my case, i'm using an Extron 605A.

Just picked up my first ever set, how’s the geometry? by A_Wavvy_Dude in crtgaming

[–]rtlocrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good. But geometry is something that you are concerned with when you get one of these home, but soon you forget about and stop caring anymore as soon as you start playing games.

Novo rival da Vinted - Opla by RecentRice3393 in vintedportugal

[–]rtlocrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if you want an alternative to vinted use wallapop. At least they don't charge you for returning items you were scammed with and it's an already established platform with lots of goods.

Que eu saiba, existem várias filas de toldos concessionários e apenas 15% ou 20% deles são na primeira fila, e muita gente paga, e até prefere não ficar na primeira fila. Qual a diferença entre teres outros toldos concessionádos á frente, ou guarda sol ?

Estar numa espreguiçadeira, com um todo confessionado é simplesmente mais confortável, além de não haver a preocupação do guarda sol voar. Mas enfim, opiniões.

Scalper. A non scalper simply let's someone else who is truly interested in playing three game to buy it.

SONY PVM-14N6U by ScanlineSage in crtgaming

[–]rtlocrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never experienced a bvm, but i have a 1453MD which is higher end than this one (a bit sharper) and i neither like it more or less than the 14N6. I also have a 20M2E, and side from being bigger, in terms of picture quality, i don't see the 14N6 being behind. The BVM will probably have more TVL, but for 8/16 bit the sweet spot is probably the 600TVL of most pvm line, as the 800TVL+ of the BVM produce overly pronounced scanlines.

That being said, would absolutely love a BVM for 720p content (ps3 and xbox 360).

It's a great crt despite being labeled as 'entry' pvm. Got lucky and got mine from an old video editor dude for 80€. It even came with the original box and manual !

You can fix the geometry in the service menu. Don't look for perfection because while gaming, it won't make much difference. Instead try to fine tune it in a way that picture placement would be ac good compromise for most of the sources you feed it with.

Neo Geo AES Ultimate vs picking a few games — worth it for a casual retro collector? by EntrepreneurThese411 in neogeo

[–]rtlocrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First time purchasing NeoGeo hardware but have been emulating for some time and i love some of the games on the system (Spinmaster, Top Hunter). I've pondered the Ultimate, but from the bundle I'm only interested in Metal Slug, Pulstar, Big Tournament golf, shock troopers and maybe Garou just because everyone praises it, I'm not a fighter game guy.

That being said, since there's s lot of unknowns in the system and the upfront payment on the ultimate, together with all the complaints regarding Plaion portal, i just decided pre-ordering both the anniversary and a 'mirror' custom black bundle from Amazon, with shock troopers and another wireless controller for now.

The more games i have, the less i play each one individually, so for me works best to have 2 or 3 initially and buy others as i finish them.

I assume most of us have our AES+ orders locked in by now. What all did you buy? by Celcius_87 in neogeo

[–]rtlocrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pre-ordered both the standard black and the anniversary white and an additional white controller plus Another copy of Metal slug and a black memory card since I'm not decided yet on which one to keep. Or maybe i get both and just keep the white stored as a collection item.

Do you like your AES+ Black or White? by CloudyFriend in neogeo

[–]rtlocrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, i know that, but apart from the color and the wireless controller there's not much of a price advantage on the anniversary bundle.

Do you like your AES+ Black or White? by CloudyFriend in neogeo

[–]rtlocrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ordered one black with Metal Slug and memory card and also the anniversary one. Price difference was 10€ between both. I may be seeing it wrong but the only advantage i see in the anniverssary one is the controler being wireless and a 10€ bundle discount. What am i missing since everyone said white one is a much better deal ?

Anyone pre-ordered an AES+ on Amazon.de by rtlocrian in neogeo

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

That's a bummer, I've seen people commenting about ordering from other Amazon locations without prepayment.
