Oh that sucks. I only had this problem with a Dualshock 1 a while ago, my Dualshock 2s thankfully never got into that state. Maybe it has something to do with how they're stored? Anyway, you can always replace the thumbsticks if cleaning doesn't help.
oh definitely. Games just felt differently back then. It was rarer for games to hold your hand, too. Not to say that that was always a good thing, sometimes it was quite annoying I guess, but maybe it was part of the reason games felt different. Combined with having to find stuff out on your own, you literally were on your own, yeah.
There are many things though that make this era of gaming special, this one is just something I often think of.
No, not quite. 60fps (or 50fps for PAL regions) was basically always the target for 2D games rendered at 240p, because it was easily achievable with the hardware and looked way better.
When 3D games started to appear with the release of the PS1, Saturn and N64, 60fps was often out of the question because the hardware wasn't powerful enough.
Interlacing doesn't really have anything to with that. Interlacing just means that of the 480 lines of resolution, only half get shown on screen every frame (always the even or uneven ones). Since the image gets rendered in 480p anyway, it doesn't matter whether or not the game gets rendered at 60fps or not.
Except when using field rendering, which was popular on the PS2. There, only the lines that get shown that frame get rendered, which is why it only works at 60fps. Maybe that was what you were thinking about?
Just bought that yesterday, I searched for a comment here mentioning it. Im already at it grinding tracks for 30 times in a row for that perfect run that I'm totally definitely gonna get soon.
Hey thank you so much! Stuff like this is part of the CRT gaming experience, right? Getting the HD CRT up there was a total pain, my brother helped me but it's such a monstrosity that a third person would have been useful as well haha
Good question. Now that I think about it, that should have worked well too. If they're rated for 230V and that 52W power consumption, there shouldn't be anything to worry about.
Though with the way its now, its probably fine too. You see, while my soldering work was anything but good, there's a stress relief inside the case so that even when you pull the cable, it's not gonna move in the inside. So I don't think that connection is gonna get loose.
Still, good suggestion nonetheless. It would have probably been the easier choice for a soldering beginner like myself.
I'd also recommend getting a Wii and modding that. The Wii can emulate a lot of systems and of course also allows you to play Gamecube and Wii games. One of the easiest ways to play games on a CRT. You might wanna look into it.
I actually like that left-right motion. It means that its harder to drift and get a speed boost. Not just holding a button like in most other MK games. I imagine its better on a dpad than an analog stick though, so I guess its still good that they moved away from it.
I don't know, it's cool that there's finally a use for the port, but just being able to use Bluetooth controllers and having a few audio enhancements isn't really something most people waited for, I think. The price is also kinda high for that.
I recently bough a new flashlight, a Wurkkos FC11C to be exact. It's pretty good for the price, and it really can't hurt to have a good flashlight around. I made a post about it in !flashlight@lemmy.world about it, and there are some other posts too.
That's funny, I've actually been playing through it for the first time recently. I played NEO 2 years ago and loved that, and I definitely love the og game too.
Really cool and creative game, both from gameplay and story. And mate, the music, its fucking art. Like the rest of both games, yeah.
Just 10$? That sounds almost too good to be true. Are they of the same quality?
What do you mean with better batteries? Just ones that are of higher quality than the supplied one?
A light like this does seem useful for power outages and the likes. I don't have a backup bag or anything, but now that you're talking about it, I probably should. Maybe not for 72h, but something smaller can't hurt. I guess I'll start looking for some other equipment that could be of use.
And yes, the lowest setting is really good. According to the manual, it can last for almost 21 days. And it's definitely useable at that brightness, too.

Why would you run such games at half the framerate? 60fps was the norm back then.

Huh I dunno, I feel like its usually used as "awesome", its just rather colloquial
As if there weren't enough images in this comment section already
And yes, I did get this image from here
Hey nice pic, thanks for posting this. It also just reminded me that I still have some pictures to share as well. Better get going.

Interesting choice with the color palette. I like it

Just tried it out, there have definitely improvements been made since I last tried it, I'm happy to see it get better.
This ones great. Where does it come from?

Oh I just saw that sale, that's pretty cheap. Have fun with your light as well!
