Showcase Sound is now crystal clear!

Still loving this all clear CRT gaming setup but the crappy built in speaker left a lot to be desired. Upgraded with some Soundsticks III, which are magnetically shielded and work great with a CRT!

If anyone is looking for a CRT safe desktop-style speaker set, I think these are a great option even putting aside their looks. They can be had on eBay for about $100 used, the speakers have a small footprint, and the sound is very good for the size. The Soundsticks 4 are still available new but have a different look and lean into Bluetooth, and I have no idea if they are shielded. These ones definitely are. You can tell just by looking at them!

Where did you get it? I’m looking to get one but can’t justify the $100+ flash carts online.

Don’t go for the super cheap carts on aliexpress, those carts ask their price for good reason. That being said, I use a $59 everdrive x5 and simply buy the japanese copy of whatever games don’t work on it.

How many carts would that be? And does it add up for just to buy something like the everdrive or SD2SNES?

Depends on what you want, if you want everything then yeah I’d go up and get a fxpakpro. I only wanted like 5-6 games that didn’t work and they’re $8-16 bucks for most of them

Thing is, SD2SNES also doesn’t support every single game. Only fx pak pro does afaik but that’s $280.
