got it from mike i suppose looks brand new

I recall that certain PS1 games cannot be played on a PS2 (Gradius Deluxe Pack and a few more) no matter what.

Also, I noticed that XRGB's output has scan lines which is more eye pleasing when compared to the PS3 upscaling. Are the pics using the same resolution?

Anyway, I agree with most. Retro games are better played on CRT's or regular SDTV resolution. Small screens like PSP's are also OK.

GANAS!

Added on October 8, 2009, 5:23 pmIIRC Gradius Gaiden got messed up in the last stage.. pretty sure there are some more but most games affected are shmups don't know why

That XRGB with scanline is either 640 x 480 or 1024 x 768, and the rest was done by the Bravia chip (it was a Sony 52" Bravia).

I've been arguing with 3rotor for a while now what's best for retro gaming. While I can't deny CRT provide the best solution but seeing not many CRTs accepting RGB, and the fact that CRT production will come to a complete end very soon (as soon as 2011) a scaler is the "future" for "past" gaming.

CRT hard to find and I find that the ports seem to get loose after a while

That's because you "cucuk" + "keluar" too much..

Every port also like that one

Leave there also still like that

But my most recent acquisition (a HD 34" CRT) has ports that are pretty sunken into the body itself, so I don't see the ports getting loose that fast

1 question is there any CRT tv'w with multiple component input as I need at least 2, for my GC and PS2? Now im shopping around for a CRT and finding the best value for money and performance.

My Sony 1080i has 2 component with 1080i

That being said, the SD looks good too, but I still use my LCD the most though

Here's the CRT for ya - http://reviews.cnet.com/direct-view-tvs-cr...?tag=mncol;rnav

thanks for the info

I myself using Panasonic 29" 250M, has dual dual component input, and it does P.Scan. The other one is Sony 21", can't remember which model but it has 1 component and 1 S-Video (very rare for a 21"). I think it's more easy to find Samsung than any other brand these days.

Looks like i need to warn him on A+ condition also as few of my case is cracked hehehe

Oh man! Moero! Justice Gakuen! I have never, ever seen the Japanese cover to the game. Did Sony Wings ever carry that title? Tekken 3 and Soul Edge used be quite common in 1998. No spinecard?

unfortunately none of them came with spine card
but i am happy with the price this LYN member offered. i wanted to sapu all his titles initially.. but decided not to..

WTA: Are you buying for the sake of collecting or playing?

There's nothing wrong with either, as I used to collect, but seeing my gaming hours are significantly reduced these days I tend to get what I play only

My goal is to play them. But it is an impossible goal. My dream is actually being able to free myself for an extended period of time and focus on playing all the games I have. With 2 very young kids I doubt I can realise this dream in the next 20(?) years. But I do enjoy the 1-2 gaming hours I can afford per day.

At times I also buy for the sake of collection / spare purpose, but only limited to my favourite series Resident Evil. Which I have most of the titles on PS and GC (but not sega or N64 - out of reach/budget), and both Jap and Eng (but not PAL). And some titles I have multiples copies. This is just for collection But I am selling anything that I have >3 copies now, slowly..

looks like u have to train ur kids to play retro when they are old enough to fulfill ur dreams

must get micro genius also , and show them how games were played before all those 3d whatcacall it

I am going to KL tomorrow. Hopefully can find time to go cash converters

If there's anything new just let us know.
