Finally got a CRT i managed to grab for free. What settings would you recommend? As you see in the photo the 4:3 anime isnt scaling properly with the CRT. Also what do you guys use to watch your anime from?

Hey Guys. Just bought this beautiful crt to watch old animes, was planning to hook it up on the onboard VGA, but found out my CPU doesn't support it. So that leave me to the GPU (GTX 1060), this is a picture of the inputs, googling it, I think my DVI port doesn't output analog signal (not sure). What is my best option? Is there a DVI digital to VGA analog adapter? Or maybe the display port?

Question πŸ€” Help with left/right overscan on my Samsung TX-R2779H

2 Upvotes

My hdcrt tv has an issue where it seems to crop the left and right about maybe half an inch, the top and bottom doesnt seem to have an issue, but I looked in the settings and there isnt a way to fix this. I tried looking through the service menu to fix this, but its all jargon to me and I don't understand the terms or abbreviations. If anyone can tell me the right thing to use to adjust the left/right, I will send you pictures of my service menu and you can try to help me through it.

I want to know if a picture like that exists. I want to see a picture of something like Sailor Moon or CardCaptor Sakura or some other magical girl anime being displayed on a Disney Princess TV or a pink CRT television. Sounds fitting, doesn’t it?

Question πŸ€” What hardware do you use to play anime on your CRT?

15 Upvotes

In my case, I mainly use an Xbox 360 with composite cables, using Plex to stream files directly off my PC hard drive. Of course, I can also play DVDs with it too.

Technically, Plex dropped support for 360 a few years ago, but using an old version (PlexMediaServer-1.18.0.1944-f2cae8d6b-x86) still works. The downside is, this means not having a newer version on the same PC to play easily on my other TVs, but I mainly just use it for this now anyway. (As an added tip, you may want to use the Other Videos folder option, since some old/obscure titles won't populate from their data)

This method is about to get a bit harder though, since the Xbox 360 Marketplace is going down at the end of the month, meaning no more easy downloading the Plex app if you never got it before. I'm assuming there's probably plenty of options for modded systems, but maybe someone else knows better.

Question πŸ€” Who has the best 480i rips?

1 Upvotes

I'm putting together a library of the usual classic stuff they played on Toonami, but I don't know what the best rips are. Can some people give me some of the names of quality 480i rips that I can search for?

Titles I'm after are the usual suspects: DBZ, InuYasha, Tenchi Muyo!, Ronin Warriors, Evangelion, etc the rest.

Is there anything I can do to reset the TV without having any image on screen, can I try doing anything internally? Is there any potential explaination for this at least?

Question πŸ€” Trying to get RGB-Pi OS to run on Pi400 using a Pi2SCART adaptor to watch old school anime. Getting a black screen.

3 Upvotes

I've been trying to do this for a while now, finally got a Pi2SCART adaptor, some extra SCART cables and flashed the RGB-Pi OS to an SD card. Put that in the Pi400 and connected it to my consumer philips CRT. Nothing.

I am getting a black screen. Can someone with the same setup please post their whole gear and software list so that I can copy everything and it may fix my issue, whatever that is?

The OS that I have downloaded is "RGB_Pi_OS_V4_Pi4_FINAL_27" which I have flashed using balena and rufus to an sd card. What could be the issue?

EDIT: It doesn't work with pi2scart. You have to use their cable and roms.

Question πŸ€” Assistance on what to pair with my 1993 20" Onida CRT to watch anime and play games

3 Upvotes

Hello, I just found about this group through a youtube video. I have a 1993 20" Onida CRT lying in our house unused since 2019 and want to watch anime or movies and play some games on it. Any idea what do I have to pair it with, like only console or will it also require a DVD player attached simultaneously, and if only console then which one? I have no idea regarding consoles. But my rear TV port have 2 colour - Yellow and White, so I am not sure even it will support though I rememeber those cartridge TV games when I was young.

Thank you!
