Is there a way to hook up a Raspberry Pi 3 to a CRT via S-Video

Thanks but those are a bit expensive. Is that the only way to do it?

Seems the best option is to use the HDMI and convert that to VGA and then hook it up to an old computer monitor.

>>4216941
Looks like they're the only ones making S-Video adapter boards.
It's the only way to directly get out of it without doing some converter hackjob that'll probably end up not looking good / introducing lag.
Is S-Video the only option?

>>4216953
If not then here's one that can do RGB through Scart and is cheaper

I only have a WEGA not a PVM/BVM so S-Video is the best I can do. Thanks for the recommendations though, I'll look into them.

The raspberry pis are price gouged and they no longer sell the ones with composite out. The orange pi zero has a pin you can use to connect it to composite out. Though, if the resolution is set too high it won't show up, so there's that to consider. Maybe some linux you could put on it would automatically be low enough rez, but i've actually only read about them.

Buy raspberry pi zero from aliexpress for cheaper but long delivery times, rather than amazon.

>>4216947
Sure that won't create lag? I've used a hundred dollar converter before to convert vga to composite out before and it had about a one third second lag. Cannot play video games like that. I ain't doing that shit again, but not OP.

Also OP, they have those android tv boxes that could use emulators and might be able to hook up the the CRTs as well, but I bought one and could lower the rez.

>poorfags without hdmi tv

But the boxes are cheap linux machines too.

pi3 > gert vga 666 > umsa

>>4216917
Yes

>>4216941
No

Raspberry shite always requires so many extra overpriced components that you end up better off buying a prefab solution to your problem.

>>4218680
Like what?

>>4218978
A Nintendo Wii.

>>4218981
CD2 PC and running an emulation based OS like LAKKA or Retropie x86.

>>4218680
$47 bucks to be precise. Not exactly a tall order.

Pi 3 is discontinued?

Sheeeeit

>>4218990
Also a decent solution

>>4218981
Isn't it slow for some of the "newer" systems (e.g. PSX)?

>>4219045
It's hit or miss with PSX, not great overall. Runs anything older than that like a champ though, and does 240p over component out of the box. Not to mention they are insanely cheap and plentiful, and take about 2 minutes to hack.

>>4218981
Wii is pretty crap these days. But if you're going to suggest Wii, why not also suggest PSP for your portable emulation needs.

Even Raspberry Pi surpasses it.

A $30 C2D PC off ebay, upgrade the CPU to a C2Q or a faster C2D for less than $30 on it's own. Drop in a lot of RAM, and a decent GPU...you have a machine that can do up to PS2 and Gamecube emulation at 720p.

I Went the crazy route, and built a machine to do PS2 and Gamecube at 4K but that's because I am stupid.

>>4219130
I don't think a core2 duo is going to do ps2 emu.

HDMI to VGA has no lag, it's just a DAC, no processing.
VGA to Composite gave you that much lag? It's literally a Analog-to-analog converter, there's no processing. I smell bullshit.

You can buy a small computer with an i3 for like 100 bux, why gimp yourself with pi?

>>4217826
pi 3 still has composite out. you just have to get an adapter for the headphone port. Works just like one of those old camcorders with the video on the audio jack.

>>4219329
because people are retarded and it's easier to just flash a premade image to an SD than install linux supposedly.

>>4219594
They have premade images for PC. LAKKA.

>>4219329
Bullshit, an i3 will cost more than a Pi not to mention costs with motherboard, ram, power source, hard drive, monitor, controller pad, keyboard and mouse.

>>4219649
Buy a cheap i3 laptop or SFF tower

I have a raspberry pi 3, a wii and a Radeon HD5750 running through a VGA to Component Transcoder.

Best so far is the 150$ Windows XP computer I bought because I'm playing plenty of games on my CRT with it, from MSDOS titles to Half Life and Jedi Outcast.

>>4219130
>these days
Homebrew on the Wii is better than it's ever been, with some of the high profile emulators having received updates recently. The PSP hasn't had any updates on its emulators for a decade, and sucked when it was new. SNES is unplayable without frame-skipping, which is unacceptable. Also, I certainly didn't imply that the Wii is a good portable solution. If you're using a CRT, the Pi only surpasses the Wii in 32-bit emulation, and that's it. Otherwise it's just an overheating, far more expensive reddit-meme that you can't turn off.

>>4220623
OP here, I've decided to just mod my Wii because my CRT also has component ports

>>4221713
Good call, you'll enjoy it.

What's the best way to hook up a Pi 3 using component for a CRT?

>>4217826
>they no longer sell the ones with composite out

wrong dumbass

>>4222509
You'd need a transcoder, because the pi can't output YPbPr from any of its output jacks

>>4219130
implying psp and wii emulation is even comparable. Wii is so far ahead. And these days its an even better option considering you can find them for about $10-20

Except for the awful input lag.

Go all in and make a CRT Emudriver rig. The VGA RGB out put can be adapted to S Video with some really basic knowledge of circuit diagrams.

odroid is better

>>4222509
see >>4217924

>>4222865
Nooooo. They migh have better hardware but the emulators are optimized for pi. Emulation on even an XU4 sucks balls.

>>4223482
um what? the hardware is virtually identical

>>4223662
And the images they must boot from is not. Pi3 emulation is better than XU4 emulation.

>>4224150
do you have proof?

>>4224164
Unfortunately I no longer have the XU4 or the Pi3 in my posession. I only had them in the first place becaude my job was looking to sell an SBC preset for hipster gamers. I dont know what kind of proof I can give you other than my first hand experience trying to get Mega Man X to run on Retroarch through both machines. No hitches on Pi3, and nearly unplayable on the Xu4.
Don't even get me started on controller support for non-windows mame.

>>4224285
why would controller support be any different on the odroid compared to pi?

>>4224296
That's a really good question. I spent a few hours grappling with that and I have no good answer for you. This was a few months ago though so I might not properly remember, but I know for certain that at least the droid version of mame was fucked on both and the odroid running gamestation turbo couldn't do it either. The problem I was running into is that I couldn't remap controls or have more than one controller at a time no matter what I did. Using one setting I was able to have two controllers for short periods but certain buttons would effect both players and it would break randomly every few minutes.

>>4216917
RPi's composite video is awful even by composite standards.

If you're going to rig up some s-video output, you might as well just rig up component. You'd probably be better off just going with some kind of HDMI converter, though. At that point you might as well just dump the RPi and build a $200 dollar HTPC so you can actually have a decent emulation experience.
