Thinking about cleaning the dust of an old tv my grandma has in her attic. This video made me want to do it even more. With new remasters such as Quake 2 and System Shock Enhanced, I really miss playing in a CRT screen. These old games with texture smoothing look great on CRT but sterile on HDMI screens.

Where can you get a converter box hdmi to composite, that will add vertical and horizontal adjustment, as well as aspect ratio adjustment, as many old CRTs don't have these features and some VCRS wont let you control it either from input.

I think something like this doea exist, but I cant remember the details on it. I vaguely remember seeing a video of someone demonstrating it.

Okay, sorry, you say that the signal is being "vertically stretched". What do you mean by that? Like everything is appearing taller than it should in order to be in 4:3? Because I honestly can't even tell. Watching you play MK8, I would think the game was just natively in 4:3. I've had a huge Triniton CRT just sitting on my living room floor for about 4 years now, and I FINALLY was able to find a good TV stand for it at a Goodwill store. So now I kinda want to see if I can hook my laptop up to it and watch KZbin + Netflix on it just for shits and giggles, but this looks pretty intimidating... Would you recommend the rasberry pie thing for my use case? (Actually, I wonder if I can accomplish this with my modded Wii... That may be easier but I am still curious.)

Interested in getting my chromecast to work on my CRT as well, I have the same issue with cropping with the cheapo converter you showed at the beginning. You mentioned that the other converter has an option for underscan and overscan, I was wondering if that does anything to adjust the cropping for you.
@Lvaneede2 жыл бұрын
It only has the under/over scan option. If by cropping, you mean your CRT is cutting the edges of the image, then you need to underscan.
@Simok12342 жыл бұрын
@@Lvaneede Oh, I see. I was thinking you had the same overscan issue as me but it was just getting stretched a way you didn't like. I'll try and see if the underscan on one of these startech ones can fix my issue. .

You mean how the chromecast only supports 16:9, but the CRT is 4:3? I haven't found a solution for that. Im just putting up a stretched image.
@Simok12342 жыл бұрын
@@Lvaneede Yeah for me it cuts off the sides so I can't see everything, even 4:3 video is zoomed in a bit too much. I'd rather be able to have 16:9 stuff be letterboxed or stretched and 4:3 stuff fit at least semi properly. I know it's kind of niche issue but I really wish the chromecast just had cropping options like most game consoles do. I remember at least the Wii U let you even choose between 4:3 and 16:9 since it had composite out so it was pretty easy to adjust.

The chromecast is very convenient, which is why Im using it. But as shown in the video, using a Raspberry Pi, you can set a 4:3 resolution, which fixes most of the issue
