    not sure if it's DVD-RW but I'll check it out.

    Most laptops from about 2006 should have RW drives at least :) You can get shells cheap from ebay, ali, whatever.

    the retrotink has a Y/C port, so it's shared between the component and composite haha.

    Oh like sync on composite, I see, I did wonder about the labels too...

    hmm... where could I put something like that...

    Wifey's CRT is set up as a third monitor on an end table, lol.

    i still think it's really cool.

    Waow crush It's just a dumb lil analog TV, I do have a switchbox for component but y'know. It is basically an average 2006 hifi lol

    never played original RE1, (watched BF play on the PSX, played the remake myself), wdym?

    Resident Evil 1 is 320x240 backgrounds forever, the PC versions of Resi 2 and 3 have 1280x960 backgrounds which is cool, but RE1 missed out sadly. Resi gang...

    maybe once our n64 controlled die we'll get one

    Yeah there are a couple "modern" pads, Tribute and Brawler64...

    I trick the TV into HDR mode with the retrotink (added in some firmware but the tonemapping is super weird) to try to get more brightness

    Cool trick though!!

      Just need an enclosure.

      Oh like sync on composite, I see, I did wonder about the labels too...

      yeah it's gone through a few iterations as I insisted on buying more scart cables lol

        Aw hell yeah lfg lfg!! The enclosures I got were like $20 cad, they work great. Huge fan of this tbh.

        as I insisted on buying more scart cables lol

        The objectively superior scart!!!!

        We got a nightstand pretty much, and set it up next to her desk. Chonky CRT monitor, used a USB-C to displayport to VGA converter, is rad.

        Same, strikes me as very logical since the N64 has uh, a silly layout :3
