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

If you have a daughter or son, do you play games together?

If so, what games?

I see people constantly harp about Thief 2 and its map reuse with Casing the Joint/Masks, but why don't they hold the first game to the same standard? Strange Bedfellows is arguably the worst mission in the game just because there's so little to do. There's no loot collection, most of the map doesn't do anything, and there's only 2, maybe 3 real stealth sections. At least Casing the Joint and Masks kept up stealth the whole time.

This game never gets talked about despite being a follow up to a well known action puzzle game on the NES, likely due to being a Super Famicom title released in 1998.

I know its a straight block puzzle game, but it was developed by Pax Softonica which made the outstanding Donkey Kong 94 and Mole Mania.

It also included the original Wrecking Crew which is a great touch.

Is this an undiscovered gem?

I don't see any sort of PSX thread, so I started one. It was time. Psx discussions involving mods/games/hardware etc.

I have a few scph 1001. One was obtained used years ago. It works great, plays burned cds AND has the updated graphics.

I have another old scph 1001 that I purchased new, which has not worked in years. Today I finally got a laser assembly that both worked and was correct and got it plugged in. It works FLAWLESSLY. It is reading discs that are totally scratched. Passes all tests. However, It WILL NOT read any of the backups I have tried. I remember reading about laser settings, but would I need to adjust things to make it read CD-r? I don't know if this unit has the newer graphic chip, and my 3 games don't really push it graphically.

This game any good? The hit detection seems sloppy and the bosses seem to go down to melee really easily.

Anyway, do you like this game? Are you a SHMUP fan or a non-SHMUP fan?

Did you know that the first Virtua Fighter had unused characters that were only discovered November 2016?

It's common knowledge Siba (aka, Majid or Majido) was intended to be Virtua Fighter's main character until scrapping him in favor of Akira, which explains why Akira's portrait on the cabinet art features a bearded man in a keffiyeh. He would later appear as Siba in the game Fighters Megamix.

Of much greater intrigue are the characters Jeffery Buckman and "Akira", both of who look astonishingly like early drafts for Tekken's Jack and Kazuya respectively. Jeffery's name is apparently based on Virtua Fighter designer Jeffrey Buchanan. In fight, his cap and shades can be knocked off. He looks almost exactly like Prototype Jack from Tekken 2.

Most interesting is Akira's early design. According to TCRF wiki, he might've been a separate character called Takeru, but it isn't confirmed. Curiously, his spiky hairstyle looks almost exactly like Kazuya Mishima's look.

According to some rumors, designers for Virtua Fighter jumped ship to Namco. These characters could've been the earliest inspiration for some of their other designs.

There's a video going into much greater detail below:
