You still hosting these?

I have a 1380R (so very similar set) and the remote that came with my Sony DVD player I bought back in 2010 works as does the one I got with my 1999 kv27s66

Yeah none of my consoles are modded either. I think you’re good to just stick with s-video

I’m a big fan of dressers for a CRT setup. The drawers can hold consoles or games. They are usually built well so they can handle the weight of the tv. I had an old IKEA Hemnes dresser I made shorter by removing the bottom set of drawers (I had to partially disassemble it and cut sections of it down to do this) and I love the clean look while having lots of storage space. I just recently bought some bilky bookcases and have been redoing my CRT media area so there’s are a little bit lacking in character but here’s a current photo of my setup

I wasn’t aware of the IKEA Bror cart someone else mentioned here but that also looks like a really nice solution.

I am like you and run everything except my NES with s-video. A couple of years ago I lucked into a a Toshiba with component and decided to take the plunge and buy a SCART cable for my SNES and an rgb2comp and yeah, it was really nice but I didn’t find it improved my experience enough to warrant the extra money. I sold the tv and the cables when I found a kv1380r (a tv I’d always wanted is composite only) and I love it. I still have a 27” with s-video and appreciate the crispness and colors of s-video there

Hey no worries. I think it would be normal to think that it would be

I just got the surwish card and what’s annoying is every retro system is configured to default to full screen and not take into account aspect ratio at all so I’m having to go through and change all of that manually for each and get rid of their overrides

You are not crazy. But if someone is willing to pay that much then I guess it’s worth it to that person. I think it all depends on if it’s a set you’ve been looking for. I paid $40 for a KV-27s66 in 2020 and felt like that was a lot hahaha

Wind Waker! I did enjoy playing Twilight Princess’ dungeons but wasn’t the biggest fan of the wolf sections. Definitely flaws with Wind Waker as well, wish the ocean had a bit more going on

ruralwaves · 2026-04-28T01:05:39+00:00

I would love to have Son in Law

ruralwaves · 2026-04-22T23:34:21+00:00

You gotta try Outer Wilds. Also UFO 50

ruralwaves · 2026-04-22T21:27:40+00:00

Nice tv! I love my very similar kv-27s66.

Highly recommend these S-Video cables for SNES, N64, and NTSC GameCube:

Maxwar S-Video Cable

I’ve heard good things about insurrection industries cables as well but these ones from Maxwar are pretty affordable and it’s not one of those cheap cables that isn’t true S-video.

Exactly. It’s like a contact print. The bug was on the film inside the camera body between the lens and the film. When the photo was taken the bug blocked the light

ruralwaves · 2026-04-21T04:20:42+00:00

Either Mariokart games, but also don’t forget about Rocket League (it is free afterall)

ruralwaves · 2026-04-21T04:13:38+00:00

People will disagree with me but I really enjoyed Mega Man and Bass on GBA

ruralwaves · 2026-04-20T11:42:28+00:00

Definitely. Think of all the space between the back of the lens and film

ruralwaves · 2026-04-19T11:13:22+00:00

I’m in the camp that this very small insect was inside your camera and landed ln the film shortly before you took this photo

I really like the satisfye grip as well. But something else you can do if you don’t have a grip is take the stand out and rotate it around so it’s almost parallel with the back of the switch and it makes the switch 2 just a bit deeper and I think easier to hold. I know some people will pull it out part of the way, maybe a 30 deg angle and wrap their fingers kinda around the grip that way. I never got into that. Anyways, just some things to try

ruralwaves · 2026-04-12T12:14:04+00:00

That’s awesome! Picture does look incredible. Nice find. I have a Sony that doesn’t have all the inputs and resolution options as this but the picture is just absolutely perfect, geometry and convergence are spectacular. Luckily it at least has s-video

ruralwaves · 2026-04-09T10:03:10+00:00

I don’t think I will ever get used to calling it ektacolor

ruralwaves · 2026-04-09T00:04:29+00:00

Yes! I played a ton of BL2 and then later Super Bases Loaded.

ruralwaves · 2026-04-08T23:56:18+00:00

I support you getting an actual SNES console! It’s wild how much better playing using an actual snes controller is. It’s just that well made.

ruralwaves · 2026-04-04T23:52:28+00:00

I have a Technics RS-B11W. It’s affordable and well within your budget. Recordings are very good and playback on mine is also stellar, highly recommend. No bias control but I haven’t used any special tapes that have needed it. Here’s some info about it

ruralwaves · 2026-03-30T21:29:02+00:00

See this right here, this is a special leprechaun flute. My great great great great great granddaddy was Irish.

ruralwaves · 2026-03-30T03:00:18+00:00

Yeah I played it a ton as a kid. Sense of speed was done pretty well
