The amazing part is that my cartridges still work perfectly well in my original consoles, decades later. There's no server, no login, no account, no downloading, no ads, no microtransactions... I just turn the console on, grab the controller, and I'm in game in seconds.
- SoftTalker 2y agoHow do you handle the NTSC video output? Or are your consoles new enough to output composite video or VGA?

- bitzun 2y agoDo TVs not have composite input anymore? I haven’t bought a new one in forever.
- tazjin 2y agoComposite - no. But an adapter costs less than a good beer in most countries on AliExpress (well, shipping excluded).
- extraduder_ire 2y agoMost of the ones I've seen do, but via an rca to 3.5mm dongle. The main issue is that the scaler built into most modern TVs does a worse job than even a cheap external one.
- zeta0134 2y agoPersonally I use a Retrotink 5X, which handles every old console I own (NES, SNES, N64, GameCube) in visually lossless quality to my eyes. The built-in composite upscaler on a lot of modern televisions handles 240p as though it is 480i, leading to bad flicker. The Retrotink and other similar products upscales the signal properly, producing quite clean visuals.
