So do the new posts and everything. But Reddit is a shithole and Omegle got sued to death, online gaming is either a full time job or a money sink, streaming services start to cancel out each other and most of the regular games and their performance suck ass.
Guess I’ll just be productive then.
Indie games are the only thing keeping gaming alive for me, for the most part. All the AAA games I play are older titles. Doing the GTAV story with a trainer has been a pretty fun time lately for me.
Retro emulation here. 40 years of back catalog games to go through.
Haha i recently got $ 120 worth of converters to get HDMI to SCART to play those old games the way they’re meant to be played.
Extra bought a 16:9 Sony Triniton CRT TV for that.
Output to input: MacBook Air M1 - USB-C - HDMI - YPbPr - RGB (or RCA, the three cables) - SCART - TV
I bought a $75 handheld emulator lol. Plays up to some PS2 and fits in my pocket. Micro HDMI out turns it to a console too.
Wait, I just want to make sure I'm getting this. You're going through five converters before plugging into the tv? Counting the computer->USBc as a converter...
Technically yes. In reality it’s just 2 "real" converters who both need their own power supply. Once from digital to HD analogue, and then from that to SD. For input lag, it’s a lot less than the 20 ms of input lag the HDMI 2 input of my Sony Bravia TV.
