Now that i've built my dream gaming PC, all I seem to want is to go back in time, I'm jelly of all those retro consoles you got there! and even the CRT!

[@Mr_pai_pai]

You can have my crt.. Lol

[@jasonsamson6172]

I play my Saturn more than my modern pc. It just feels more enjoyable, plus I legitimately prefer classic games.

[@deveshvakharia4661]

Very useful for old expensive video games boxes. FANTASTIC.

[@goukigod]

Nice one, a good simple explanation overall. One nitpick I’ll make is that composite isn’t comparable to anything else, it’s easily the lowest quality connection type. Even s-video will give a significantly better image but if you want the best you’ll need either scart or component cables. Things start to get complicated when you look into the latter though.

[@YetAnotherSADXFan]

About the lowest quality cable "Laughs in rf"

[@goukigod]

​@@YetAnotherSADXFan A fair point

[@sypoth]

The more I watch videos like this the more I regret getting rid of my old Sanyo flat screen crt.

[@adultmoshifan87]

I’ve wanted to produce my own line of newly made CRT monitors specially designed for retro gaming before now. I contacted the Early Television Museum about this, and they told me that making a new CRT monitor would be difficult, but the guns in the CRT that make up the picture can be replaced, more easily on black & white TVs than on color ones.

[@romerolemstra8747]

Any CRT is great for retro gaming

[@KeemySmith122]

Yeah, it would be hard. CRT is now considered as “dead” technology and has been for a while now. Just like the other dude said you could just buy a used one and boom. Pretty good idea though.

[@ngiallag2792]

aerial tuned in on the old 'analog' tuner setting when you tune in your TV or if you can't do that get an old vcr with a tuner on it and scart lead on it and scan the analog tuner on the vcr whilst plugged into the scart lead on the tv. it's a long winded way around it but it'll work

[@happycoolhayden8767]

Btw, there's also a retro game store called Game World in The Woodlands Mall in Texas. I wonder they sell pong clones there.

But I do normal dusting once a week as well :) I mean a little dust yeah but that was like really thick dust. I wasn't intending my comment to be rude though if it came off rude ;)

I agree that it was pretty dusty in that video. I have actually since dusted behind there, but I'd be lying if I said I did it regularly enough lol.

Easiest all around solution I've found in my years of searching is using the retrotink devices Mike Chi makes. There are a few options so whether you have a smaller budget or you want to use a larger budget for higher quality you can go for a more expensive model like the 5x or 4k and get a really clear picture with loads of screen changing options for screen layouts to stretch to a 16:9 or shrink to a 4:3. You also have plenty of scanline options based on various older TVs and monitors as well as smoothing filters or pixel perfect images so you can virtually have any look you want with some tweaking and make various different presets for your different consoles. You can also stack other devices on like a mClassic for example for more improvement. Quite the versitile set of devices for upscaling and playing your older consoles on modern displays.

[@CAPCOM784]

You can use a Y adapter 1 male to 2 female RCA plug for your NES to have a "stereo like" audio it sounds very nice when hooked up to a stereo receiver.

[@solandrabrewster7646]

Thank you lord. Finally someone eho is clear and not shaky

[@bobskie321]

4:49 RGB SCART has a better picture quality than Composite or S-Video. SCART have 21 pins which includes composite which does not improve the picture quality over RCA composite video. If your TV has a SCART input and decided to connect a Sega Mega Drive I recommend RGB SCART not composite SCART for better picture quality. RGB SCART are as rare as a chicken teeth here in NTSC country and we don't have that.

[@romerolemstra8747]

@@boodro2122 If you want to play your Snes or other old consoles on your tv you should check out the RetroTINK 2X or 2X Pro (which accepts composite, S-video and component YpBpR) or the upcomming RetroTINK 2X Mini (which accepts only composite and s-video), the RT2X series are line doublers which will output 480p/576p (depends on what region you live in) with NO input lag (exept the input lag of your tv) and why 480p? Compatibility. Those devices will solve your problems. Or a Rad2X which extract the RGB or composite (no S-video) signal out of your Snes or whatever multi out Nintendo console you have and output it on a hd tv or 4k tv like the RetroTINK(s) but only if the source supports RGB so no N64 in RGB without modding or NTSC Gamecube which only supports composite and S-video like the N64.

I GOT THE N64 WORKING THIS WAY BUT THE PICTURE LOOKS MORE BLURRED THAN WHEN I PLUGGED THE N64 INTO AN OLDER TV. SO I DECIDED TO TRY THE SUPER NINTENDO CONSOLE PLUGGED INTO THE NEW TV WHERE IT SAYS AV IN USING THE 3 COLOURED PLUGS AS I MENTIONED WHICH ARE YELLOW WHITE AND RED. WELL I AM NOW SURE THIS TV CAUSES THE SNES CONSOLE GAMES TO LOOK A BIT BLURRED ALSO. SO THIS IS NO GOOD. I WANT TO HOOK UP MY OLD GAMING CONSOLES TO MY NEW TV. I FOUND AN OLD PLUG WHICH WILL PLUG INTO THE AERIAL SECTION OF THIS TV BUT I CANT WORK OUT HOW TO TUNE IT IN.

SO IM NOT TOO HAPPY. SO THEN I FOUND A CORD WHICH HAS AN AERIAL TYPE ADAPTOR PLUG SO I PLUGGED MY SNES INTO THE AERIAL SOCKET AND TRIED THE AUTO TUNE IN METHOD AND IT DIDNT TUNE NOTHING IN.

I SAW ON ANOTHER VIDEO DEMO TO GET A HD ADAPTOR. I THINK THATS WHAT ITS CALLED. I MIGHT EVEN DO THAT.

[@holydado]

The older wood grain versions of Atari 2600 in the USA have an RCA type plug on both ends of the wire(but 1 end is only removable if you take the system apart), it went into a small RF box that you use to have to screw into older crts. Now you can skip the old RF box by getting a cheap adapter that turns it into a coaxial type connection, however like a few people have said it doesn’t look that great, I’d say it will look better on an old crt is you can find one cheap.

Xbox ps2 and some other consoles have the Pound HDMI cable. Highly recommend as my late model Samsung only has 4 HDMI and 1 component, but component looks awful.

[@romerolemstra8747]

The pound cables are crap they are made poorly and add a ton of input lag

[@weatheronthe8s895]

I’ve noticed that most new TVs only come with 1 analog input now, the analog input is component except the green plug can also act as composite, I’ve also seen some with the adapters. I plan to hang onto my slightly older flat screens from around 2012 for a while. I would like to get a CRT but I don’t have the necessary space for it. My TVs still have dedicated composite and component, along with VGA. Even many flat screens from around 2010 and before also gave you an extra composite. I wish one of my TVs had an extra HDMI but I have an adapter so I can just use that. I would also like an extra composite sometimes but I guess I can deal with it. I would use my VCR but it only has mono audio.

[@WindyCornerTV]

That funky widescreen effect on some games, it's usually the result of bad PAL conversions. NTSC had a height of 480, while PAL had 576. A lot of lazy developers didn't bother to convert the image to the difference resolution and just added black bars on the top and bottom to fill the extra 96 vertical pixels used by PAL.

[@dcashley303]

Nice video, although you don't really go into the issues with using composite and other analog video formats on a HD TV including bad upscaling and latency issues. For those who have these issues I highly recommend you check out My Life In Gaming on KZbin, they go into insane depth. Like I say though, very nice video! I didn't realise that the NES only had mono sound and composite video, that's crazy!

[@retrogameon]

+davidevoid Good call on the upscaling and latency problems, I should have added those to the negatives.

[@dcashley303]

+Retro Game On Yeah, I think it's one of the main issues (although perhaps newer HD TVs don't suffer as much latency??), I guess it's totally fine for games that don't require super precise timing like rhythm games or fighting games.

[@Neccese]

davidevoid game mode usually fixes latency issues

[@BLOODY__FATALITY]

Well even they don't seem to have help for me. I've patiently been waiting years for a solution to using my N64 on my hd tv withbat the very least some decent quality and nothing seems to work.

[@retrogameon]

They're called that in Australia, at least. The only sure-fire way I know to convert coax to composite is to tune it into an old VCR, which can then be plugged in via composite. I've looked far and deep for some sort of dedicated converter, but thus far have come up empty handed.

I don't have Atari 2600 so I have no idea if the RF out has 5 volts bias with it like the NES & SNES because the NES RF Switch at 1:33 requires a 5 volts bias to allow the signal from game console to reach your TV while the signal from the outdoor antenna connected the the RF Switch is blocked. Without the 5 volts bias like if you turn off the NES the opposite happens. The signal from outdoor antenna can reach to your TV while the RF devices that don't have 5 volts bias is blocked.

[@romerolemstra8747]

If the consoles supports a RGB or a YpBpR signal and you have a component video switch box and a proper way to use it with component video but if not you can't use it and about that av 2 hdmi converter box you are using, it's crap get a RetroTINK 2X or 2X Pro it's WAY better then those av 2 hdmi boxes bc the RetroTINK 2X or 2X Pro is meant for gaming and those av 2 hdmi are meant for video content only not gaming content and with RGB video?

I strongly discourage playing pre-PS2 era consoles on HDTVs. Flatscreens, along with the fixed stretched grid, motion blur and input lag, they cannot handle the low resolution the original hardware of old systems provide, making the screen distorted, and it also goes with sound, ruining the gameplay. They may sometimes not read the analog signals or even have composite at all. I know from experience. SD CRTs is a must, as classic games were made with those TVs in mind.

You need one of them: www.amazon.de/Neoteck-Konverter-Composite-Metallgehäuse-Spielkonsole-AV-auf-HDMI/dp/B01K7HYLOQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_14?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅZÕÑ&qid=1547028272&sr=8-14&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=av+zu+hdmi

And if you prefer to plug the composite cables first in a scart adapter buy one of these: www.amazon.de/Tiancai-Konverter-Eingang-Ausgang-Composite-s-h/dp/B07CBTC51D/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅZÕÑ&qid=1547028407&sr=8-1-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=scart+zu+hdmi&psc=1 Scart was very popular in europe I don't know where you live.. greetings from germany :)

TVs don't accept 240p they accept 480i or higher resolutions

[@bangerbangerbro]

I've never had any trouble connecting my old systems to my new TVs. Except for trying to connect the wrong ends of the RF lead for my mega drive (i don't know how I made that mistake). Isn't RF the standard? Who would be surprised by RF output?

[@anthonywalker8583]

is there a way i can play duck hunt for NES on a flat screen or do i need to just find a SD T.V.?

[@TheOriginalVersatile]

Anthony Walker find SD TV

[@nathanhamman418]

The way the light gun works, you will need a crt tv

[@Cruptile]

Iirc there was a vc port onto the wii u that utilizes a wiimote as the light gun

[@shanedaft666]

I got an NES that's only been used 2 times as I got it as a kid I'm now 49 lol but the problem is that the red light flickers when it's on and will not stay on the old analogue tv that we still have and just get no picture

[@edboss36]

Shane Daft use it on an old tv

[@travis7069]

Why has it only been played twice😶

[@sebash789]

If you didn't fix it already here is how to really repair it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaemf2OKnpunaac I had same problem and this helped me to fix it

[@sssharefff]

I have the smaller Ps1 and connecting that to the LG is a pain in the ass

[@succubunnie]

I'm trying very hard to connect my GameCube to my new Sony HDTV. I can connect both audio composite cords to my TV, but the yellow one seems to be made for something of a different build. Which means I can get audio for my games, just no picture. I'm rather clueless when it comes to this thing, so I have no idea what adapter I could need. I've searched and searched with no hope. I simply can't afford all the big rigs I've seen others with.

[@retrogameon]

Is the port by any chance s-video? Here is what it looks like: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/93/S-Video_7-pin_quasi-DIN_connector.JPG/170px-S-Video_7-pin_quasi-DIN_connector.JPG If so it's quite easy to find an adapter that converts from composite to that.

My problem when I did successfully set up my old NES and SNES is that when I started to play the games. Each and everyone one had a 5 second delay no matter what button i pressed on the controllers. This happened with both systems? How do I resolve and issue like that?

[@qbertsoul]

Great video! Have you ever had any luck getting an American NES top loader to work on an Australian TV? I've followed the same method but couldn't get it to work.

[@YetAnotherSADXFan]

Found anything?

[@dshaynietheawesome]

Where can i find the shelf you have you systems on

[@retrogameon]

Ikea.

[@AspectCave]

NOTE: Setting up your n64 on a modern tv causes input lag and the screen ratio isn't that good because crts only have a 4:9 ratio unlike modern tv when they have16:9 ratio so it's not recommended for people to play older consoles on modern tvs

[@tweeter3081]

I have the rf connection but with the tv when I put it on channel 3\4 I don't get the console even though the power is on the super nes. Is it my tv or something else?

[@candymarshmellow4296]

Hi, I have a question and wondering if you can help me out. How would I be able to connect the nintendo 64 to a 2012 Lg tv? Please and thank you

[@happycoolhayden8767]

What about pong consoles to a modern HDTV?

[@thealaskan1635]

The best way to get old consoles on HD is with a DVD recorder. They record the old analog picture & use old analog inputs

[@romerolemstra8747]

Well that is a option it's seriously not the best way to use it to play your old consoles on hd tvs

[@TVRCreators]

Awesome and great video 👍🏻😊🎮🎮🖥🖥

[@TheEpicHitmarker]

I have a NES and I have the multi output and I plugged in the cables in all the correct slots..red,white,yellow.. I still have nothing and no picture comes up or sound, everything works including the NES it's turned on. Help please

[@vickihawkins3146]

I've just connected my old sega MD2 to my flat screen with the new recommended cables, all is working well other than the colour now blinks. How do I stop this?

[@terranceyoung1994]

So how come when I put a PlayStation one game in my PS2 it won't play on the TV it only plays PlayStation 2 games?

[@NAKEDBOI1]

You talked about a component cable for the GameCube on here would that same cable work for an N64

[@richyroa]

Doesn't matter. Lag is still present on HD TV'S.

[@RideRedRacer]

playing on new flat screens is horrible. i cant stand input lag

[@Efreno]

Exactly

[@21Escalators]

o no

[@LITTLE1994]

Definitely.
