I've heard that NTSC-J has different black levels than NTSC-UC. Is this true?

Maybe it is only for composite video and S video or higher is the same.

I know that NTSC has color differences from PAL but I think that's only for composite.

I want to emulate older consoles and handhelds on a device that's similar to the Wii-U's gamepad. Have any of you had a good experience with things like pic related? I have some misgivings about the build quality and how well the buttons will interface with the software.

I'm aware that the PSP could probably scratch this itch, but I was hoping for some alternative.

Previous thread(s) - >>2797334

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

Those are really cool and not that common in 2D games, so I want to see those that actually exist. Preferably in platformers and with sprites, but other sidescrollers and 2.5 also works.

I really miss 90s and early 00's computing

It was so much darker and mysterious, I had so many friends that I lost contact with because of how the web was setup, people would vanish without a trace. Growing up with no friends my only source of friendship was on the computer, I could easily find people relatable and similar to me, now that the web is full of phone posting scum it's impossible for me to find any sense of friendship. Computer science turned to shit, forums died along with every tiny community, and corporate ran matchmaking servers have taken over every game I once played.

So, me and some nigger were talking about retro video games. A flashback hits me and I remember this kickass game. Anyone ever played it? Looking back now it's seems a little obscure since it seems no one has heard of it.

Hey /vr/
I'm thinking of getting either a NES or Famicom and rebuilding my collection of games after all these years.
Long story short, I want to be able to play both on one console, so I was going to get a famicom AV (the toploader) and then just use an adapter for NES games. As far as I can tell, this way I get the AV output and can play pretty much most games. Any thoughts/recommendations?

So, let me guess. The Moon Remix thread got deleted because people started bickering over Undertale. Come the fuck on, guys. Can anybody at least tell me if there's any place were updates of the fan translation are being posted? Last thread (well, 2 threads ago I guess) someone said that NeoGaf discussion about it wasn't being updated because the thread was locked, is that true? I used to lurk there and now I don't know were to check for updates. Do the translators have a blog or something? I really want to play that game.
