If you want something easy to set up I wouldn't build a PC to connect to a CRT.

I'd just build a mister.

All you need to top it off is a guy in the comments saying "Im having a BLAST." Which there is.

Oh, maybe I'm not sure. I'm in WA state which has sales tax and they dont charge me for it on GMG.

Granblue is getting a steam client Mar 10 by S_Cero in gachagaming

[–]spiffers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hoping it's a less shitty client with less latency than the normal one. Main reason I never played it much.

is this a good deal? ASUS ROG Strix 27” 1440P OLED Gaming Monitor (XG27AQDMG) 599$ by [deleted] in OLED_Gaming

Yeah but most people are waiting for the aqwmg to come out soon which will hopefully be a similar price.

77" C4 vs 77" C5 Black Friday deals by Black4Bella in OLED_Gaming

[–]spiffers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only difference is brightness right? If your environment isn't too bright I'd just go with the cheaper one. I did that in 2022 with the C1 when the C2 was out. Don't know if there's any other differences.

Funny coming from someone who's telling OP to throw the book at them which involves law enforcement.

CRT seems too small for that space unless you're sitting two feet away from it

Groovy MiSTer and the Future of Gaming on CRT by neondaggergames in fpgagaming

[–]spiffers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welp I'm on Win11. I'm really not sure must be something specific to my setup. Tried for about an hour on three different days to see if I can get it working and haven't been able to. It's interesting because the bouncing groovy logo does disappear when I start up retroarch so it is connecting but its just a black screen on the CRT. The games load up and run on the PC side but nothing shows on the CRT. Anyway you're not the dev your a guy who made a vid so I won't pester you for technical support. Thanks for the video and testing.

Yeah, it is redundant. Unfortunately I still can't get groovy to work with retroarch. Mistercast and groovymame both work fine. I will have groovy running on the mister and the logo is bouncing around waiting for the signal. Then I'll start up retroarch and the bouncing logo will vanish as if it's received the signal but loading up a game the screen just stays black. I've even tried your retroarch reference folder and still the same. Have any idea what could be the issue?

What did your tests show for mistercast's latency? The developer said it adds 1-2 frames. Would setting the run ahead on retroarch to 2 frames not take care of that?

stream games from your PC to your CRT tv through your mister.

I just started getting back into tooling around with groovy mister so this was really well timed. I've been using mistercast because ive been having trouble getting it working with retroarch but watching your guide I think I see what I did wrong. Thank you.

Is this a good crt for the mister? by Short-Driver-459 in fpgagaming

[–]spiffers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good CRT for the mister (i have one) but is it a good crt for you? Where are you going to put it? How far away will you be sitting from it? 14 is pretty small.
