      Isn’t the MiSTer like, way bigger than that?

    A7thStone is right, it’s a MiSTer in a custom “case” i made.

  I had that TV back in the day. It was an amazing TV for it’s time.

  What’s the CRT on the bottom left?

  source

  • wavebeam@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    G3 iMac 333Mhz

    • defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Nice. I’ve been meaning to pick up a CRT iMac or even an eMac.

      • wavebeam@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        nice! I bought this one like 15 years ago for like $20 from a guy in a mall parking lot, advertised as broken. it had like “University of Washington” written on it, so presumably he got it from a school several years before he sold it to me. Initially I wanted to gut it to make a fish tank, but i was lazy and also that was a stupid idea. Instead I fixed it and installed Mac OS Classic on it, as well as marathon.

  Have you softmodded the PS1 to accept backups? There’s a disc you can burn that if you do the swap trick with it it will configure a memory card to be used to load backups

    I’ve got 2 PS1’s, and the one most visible in this photo is an SCPH-1001 with the RCA jacks on the back. I haven’t modded it because I’ve got better ways to play backups of PS1 games and it’s not quite worth the effort. I have used TonyHax on it though, which does the job. the other PSOne is barely visible right next to it. I got it from an estate sale and it actually came with a modchip! So i can play backup discs on that one if i want.

      I’ve got a SCPH-5501, after they “fixed” the swap trick (you have to do it twice, with really good timing to do it on that model) so it was worth it to use a scam memory card that corrupted if I had more than 3 saves on it to make a tonyhax card.

      Been a great time going back and playing ff7 and frogger 2.

  No Saturn?

  source

  • wavebeam@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    I’ve been wanting a Saturn for a while now, but not yet! I usually play Saturn games on my MiSTer.

    source

    • BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Oh nice, how good is the MiSTer with Saturn games?

      source

      • wavebeam@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        it’s not perfect, but still quite good!

  I’ll call it “Starry Night over the Rhone” because it’s an extent masterpiece of a bygone golden era.

  whats an rgb mod?

  source

  • wavebeam@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    It allows it to accept higher quality analog signal input for old video game systems. RGB separates the signals into 4 (in this case) separate inputs, one each for Red, Green, and Blue colors in the image, as well as sync on the fourth input. the image is much clearer than you’d have typically seen from systems on this TV back in the day using composite, or S-video if you were fancy. It’s the highest quality analog signal you can get for a CRT.
