    I can't believe I totally forgot the PS3 could output component and play PS1 discs with smoothing. Been jumping through hoops trying to get things on my CRT and it was right there all along.

      Editing … It's not always that easy remembering these things that you set up or evaluate once and then never think about again. I keep running into similar problems when setting up projects and configuring apps on my new laptop.

      Editing … Oh yeah. The og ps3 could do that indeed. I just use my ps2. I don't care about the ugly. On a related note I recently got another wii for cheap but when I got it home I saw it had no gamcube ports..... Why? That's the stupidest thing you could do. It looks like the regular wii as well so it's easy to be fooled.

      Editing … Mine is always plugged into both TVs so I can easily switch between the two outputs as needed

      Editing … Yea, I played Resident Evil Director's Cut on the PS5 which had some smoothing. Then I put up RE2 on an emulator and it looked like garbage cause my hardware tanks anytime I try to use shaders and such...so then I thought oh I have a PSOne Classic version of RE2 on my PS3 but that also look like crap on the QLED. So then I just bought the PS1 game off Ebay to play it on the CRT via original PS1. Which I'm currently doing... but I could've just played the PSOne classic on the PS3 on the CRT which looks great. One day I hope to have all my systems setup and ready to play....but currently I do a lot of swapping.

      Editing … I have 17 systems hooked up on two TVs side by side, and most importantly, you would never guess that number at a glance

      Editing … There still isn't a true replacement for crt's. Games that were made in that era just look best on a crt. I have 2 tv's on rolling carts. one is a crt. I think the crt has an n64, snes and nes hooked up right now. I played vagrant story on my flat-screen and it was pretty ugly compared to the way it looks on crt but I was too lazy to roll over the fat tv so I just let the game be ugly. Still very pretty game at the core. I refuse to finish earthbound on anything else than my crt though. I want the game to fry my eyes. That's the only authentic experience.

      Editing … Your living the dream man. And yea Klem, I like my CRT and prefer it for old games but sometimes I just let the things be ugly for convenience.

      Editing … convenience is so powerful. It makes me lazy. But it's also nice to see things larger so I can lie down and still see what I am doing.

      Editing … It's an old picture, the the OG Xbox or the N64 are cropped out on the right, and some systems are hidden behind the TVs, but here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FSKQsvjS_nkfo4gl8vfIc60YOk82mgUI/view?usp=drive_link

      Editing … I got a similar look but three TVs cause my niece uses the one for her Wii. But cords run every which way including some long cords I'll just run through the middle of the room if I need to lol. Cause my computer and PS3 are on the other side of the room. It's a mess.

      Editing … Isn't that widescreen? I don't know my model trinitron but it's the same type we had back in the day and it's 4:3. I would love one of those Sony professional monitors but they cost a whole lot. Or one of those legendary hd crt's they made at the end of 2003.

      Editing … Sometimes, but not really. CRT I use for the classic consoles and my new TV is for the PS5. The third TV is actually just the TV that's supposed to be where my TV is that I didn't want to get rid of cause when I finally moved back out I'm taking my TV with me and they need a TV to put back in that spot. But my niece does use it for her Wii because my new TV only has HDMI. At one point I did have 5 TVs hooked up...but they were attached to my computer cause I was doing streaming things.
