Can we have an Umihara Kawase thread?

In particular, I am interested in any and all information regarding Den-Sen, in case there happens to be anything out there aside from that one video on the demo disc.

I also hear that the original prototype of Umihara Kawase was for Sharp X68K. I wonder if it's even remotely possible to get our hands on such a thing nowadays.

This thread is for the spirited discussion of CRT displays - Televisions, monitors and projectors used for the playing of retro games!

>Try to keep it /vr/-related: Nothing past 5th gen(+ Dreamcast). Slight OT might be okay if related to CRTs (E.G. 16:9 compatible models, flatscreens, etc.) Systems with backwards compatibility are also pretty safe territory, assuming you're focusing on the older games. PC CRTs are also a-ok.
>Produce OC! Get out your real cameras and take beautiful pictures of your CRTs displaying recognizable characters with the kind of beautiful accuracy that brings tears to the eyes of young and old alike! If you take 100 photos, at least one of them will turn out alright! (maybe)
>Try to be as detailed as possible when asking info on a specific model. As always, google is your friend, and we are your friends with benefits. Older archived threads aren't a bad place to look either.
>Share appreciation for others choice of technology and personal philosophy of gaming. As always show courtesy in your discussion and moderate yourselves first.

Discussion of video processing and scaling devices is okay, but try to keep the focus on CRTs and CRT accessories

Hi again for newcomers and those who already know how this works. I'm an anon living in Japan who has started a new hobby of going to retro game stores and posting what I find and picking things up for other anons.

I will occasionally post new photos in these threads and update this Google photo account:
https://goo gl/photos/FbAuBSgb22L1rDLf6

I removed the "." from googl so please put it back in to follow the link.

Some anons have said that they really like these pictures but the point of the thread is not to blog so let me explain how it works.

1. I will post images in these threads and answer whatever questions people have.
2. If you are interested in something, let me know here or email me at [email protected]
3. I will give you a quote with the estimated total price (I take a 13% commission but I'm completely transparent about costs).
4. If you are interested in something we will come to an agreement and you will send the money to my paypal account.
5. I will send you your stuff with a tracking number.
6. You get your stuff for cheaper than ebay prices and have a great time.

I'm only going to make this OP for now but I will dump some pictures tomorrow. For those who are interested they are already in the Google photos account.

I'm sorry for everyone that I have already been in contact with for being so slow recently but I have been busy with work and I need to talk with my bank about depositing money from PayPal in my Japanese account because it has stopped working for the time being and I don't want to drain my bank account too much picking things up for people.

I have good news in that I recently found a store with many console only original Famicoms and Super Famicoms (console only) and various accessories for only 300 yen. I apologize for anyone who has received something from me already and paid more but I do the best I can to find you the lowest prices possible.

I hope you're all having a great week.

Again, my email is [email protected]

If they're hosted outside the US, how come they bend over for DMCAs?

First Nintendo, now Sony, RIP.

If so, any recommendations on which one to get?

Specifically how is the Genesis emulation on the Retro Bit Generations? Trying to get an emulation console for my bf's birthday and this looked like a cheap alternative to a Pi 3 + controllers and getting physical carts of all the Genesis games he likes (Toe Jam and Earl, Shining Force 2, Contra Hard Corps, Castlevania Bloodlines, all Streets of Rage, and the Taz games are pretty expensive combined).

If its ass what do you guys recommend?

Can someone please help me remember the name of the game. There was an old PC game I played back in the 90's you were a toy soldier on a toy island. It was a top down kids shooter and when you died your head spun around on a spring like the toy "broke".

Help me /VR/

Why does this exist?

Are you supposed to figure it out on your own somehow?

Do you think there are any circumstances in which someone could have figured this out accidentally?

What am I looking at here?
Even as a kid I couldn't figure out what's on the right half.

So I think we can all agree that this is the best controller for 2D games, right?
