Nice that you finally got one!
I am also thinking about buying one, but I’m hoping they’ll do a clear blue version like they did for the PS1. I currently have 2 clear blue official memory cards in my PS2 and really like the look, so it would be cool if I could keep that color scheme.
Oh, and there’s the Wii mini too. Can’t think of any newer system with a DVD flap.
Wait, the OG 3DS has that too? My New 3DS has that problem as well. Crazy that they managed to repeat that design flaw.
Might also be a broken contrast wheel. Could be fixable with IPA if it doesn’t work right.
If it’s really the display, I guess there are at least many replacement options available.
You did try to change the contrast on the GB you bought, didn’t you?
Well yeah, but it also looks worse.
If one still goes with upscalers and likes diy projects, the GBS-control is also definitely worth a look.
Hell yeah! Have fun with it mate :)
That makes sense. Looks awesome!
That looks really nice! What cables are you using on your CRT?
Right, that’s a smart idea. I’m definitely looking forward to how your project is gonna turn out!
Oh, this is so cool! Great project for sure. I wish I got my GBS-Control working correctly in the first place haha
Depends. If you have a quality CRT monitor, the only problem is blooming. Misconvergence and geometry in general is really only a problem with low end models or large tubes. At higher refresh rates, there’s absolutely no flicker either.
Where did you get that with the contrast from? They look way better than any LCD, though OLED can come close or even surpass them.
Except when talking about motion clarity of course, which is something that somehow still can’t be beaten by modern technologies. Every display that isn’t a CRT just looks so blurry during motion. It makes a world of difference for games.
Since I got a nice CRT monitor, I hate playing on LCDs. Kinda regret getting that thing now.
Hell yeah man, 4:3 CRT monitors are superior in almost every way. I have a monitor that does up to 1920x1440p@75hz, but the best ones do up to 2048x1536@80hz. Crazy.
Yeah the SP is quite something special. It uses clicky buttons, but also keeps the rubber membranes which give it this softer clickiness. Not sure why Nintendo did that? Though to be fair it was also one of the first consoles to use clicky buttons, maybe they just hadn’t completely figured it out yet?
Well yeah, that’s what I just said?
I might have to pirate a game from the Wii U though they they won’t remake for the switch:(
I don’t remember Nintendo ever remaking a Wii U game for switch, and even if they port one over, the experience is only marginally better than it used to be
This basically sounds too good to be true. Making an FPGA core for 1 console is already a challenge, but making a new console that uses multiple cores and plays hundreds of games perfectly? Not gonna be easy.
Especially since they also want to add many more hardware features. The disc drive in particular stands out. I really wonder how they are planning to make all of this work. It’s like they want to recreate the hardware accurately but also add features.
Will the FPGA core be less accurate because of this? Or will it emulate the real hardware perfectly with these extra features added by another chip? Probably the latter, but I’m really looking forward how this is gonna work out nonetheless.
Definitely an interesting project.
