  You can still solder an video out to the Rpi 5, there’s just no port. So it’s still possible if you really want to.

  Whata wrong with running retro games on LCD? The only issue I can see is games that use a light gun.

    They just don’t look the same. They were designed to be displayed on CRT displays, so the quality is actually worse on LCDs. Just look up pictures comparing the two.

    You can get a converter box for about $100 that makes it pretty close, though.

      These days I'd much rather pay 8-bit games on a 65inch 4k tv via HDMI with shadow mask and (light) scanline emulation filters, than over composite video to a small CRT. To reach their own though.

        I’m pretty sure the filters you’re talking about are exactly what the converter I’m talking about does, if we’re not talking about the same thing (unless you’re talking about software filters)

    You’ll get at least one frame of added latency in the very best case when using original hardware on an LCD. Combine that with a TV that does its own processing and emulation and you’ll have some noticeable input lag. And yes, I know most TVs have a game mode.
