You had me at Anthony. I swear this guy has the best vibes going on.
@Historical Archive Naww that's disappointing.
@Historical Archive quit lying on Anthony, I have met him too and he is a teddy bear. He even helped my change a flat tire once and bought me dinner afterwards.
He seems like a real pompous asshole honestly. He's also typically wrong about more intricate tech, linux, servers, and other higher end tech.
@Historical Archive Pretty sure if he was "quite arrogant", he wouldn't work at LTT. I'm sorry if you had a bummer experience meeting him but I doubt your time with him reflects his actual personality.
@@StevenCrothers I think what you're picking up on is his dry sense of humor. I haven't noticed any errors on his part, but I'm not that educated in linux or things on the server side.
Anthony is like the dude who works at that rundown independant game shops that sells retro games and magic cards.
And everytime you buy something you always somehow end up talking about something with them for 15 minutes
and by something im guessing its not dieting and exercise

"Retro Tech Tips"
I would watch that
Same
isn't that a thing already, only it's called LGR?
@@Lucipher07 True , Collab !!
The way Anthony speaks and how he express himself calmly and clearly makes him a great teacher! Relaxing for me, I watched even if it is not a topic I'm interested in :)
If you watch a video with him and Linus at half speed, Anthony just sounds very tired, while Linus comes across like he's plastered out of his ever-loving MIND. :rofl:
The new LTT Channel, Anthony ASMR
ditto love this guy
tbh
"A different video than usual. Seems to be a theme whenever I am on camera" - but that is why people like your videos Anthony. Keep doing these "weird" videos, they are awesome.
Also, I love Open Source. These people know what everyday hassles the community faces and they try to make it go away unlike companies that will just push expensive new stuff that doesn't even solve the problem you originally had but creates new ones.
That happiness when you see Anthony
Week later he's arrested for ch**d abuse
“Nothing against rainbows, they just aren’t suppose to be there.”
Anthony didn’t want to offend the rainbows.
"RAINBOWS SHOULD KNOW THEIR PLACE!"
That's the subtext.
Correct me if I am wrong but weren't the rainbows actually supposed to be there in sonic on the waterfalls? Like they used the way the signal worked to make the waterfall look more blended etc?
@@timwalker5876 Not sure about Sonic, but I do know that some Megadrive games were designed with that in mind
@@timwalker5876 They did use that effect, but not to make rainbows. It was supposed to make the water look smooth.
Hahaha...
C O R R E C T
Fun fact, in Sonic, they intended to have the waterfall “sparkle” by using that little flaw in the composite signal with the rainbowing effect.
A lot of older Mega Drive (Genesis) games used the flaws in composite to create 'transparancies' I still wouldn't trade it for the clarity my 4 quid RGB to Scart brings to mine though (In the UK nearly all TVs, even today, come with a SCART connector)
7:59 Sexiest moment in the history of Linus tech tips.
I think David wanted to see that....just egging Anthony on. Still...the cart worked!
LOL the scream and reaction 😆😆 that’s a great moment
LOL yeah this was priceless!
*Anthony Tech Tips
a meme in the making
Anthony is legit the best one of this whole team. Anthony, keep it up! Much love from Germany!
Seh ich genauso. Freu mich immer, wenn er im Video zu sehen ist.
Ich mich auch er ist der beste 👍
Ich bin Niederlandisch und spreche klein bischen Deutch... gute tag meine freund!
Sieht man am Profilbild xd (zu justin)
Picked up the OSSC recently because of this video and other, it makes PS1 games look AMAZING on my 55" LED.
I have a modded PS1 PAL. I tried connecting it with HD retrovision cables and the OSSC to my 55' 4K Samsung and the text, menus etc are a little blurry. I would say even the game itself isn't the best quality even though I don't remember it very well. What I am doing wrong? I tried with the original setup and also some pre-made profiles. Thank you very much for your help
I'm happy I found this video. This looks amazing and I can't wait to use it on my ps2 and gamecube.
Oh man! Gman, how’s one of my favorite TH-camrs doing!? PS.. My mom’s still complaining about what you did to her last night 🤔
"Retro Tech Tips" would be an interesting series (since there's already entire tube sites of "Friction and Tips").
Yeah, then bring on Voultar and retroRGB as guests. That would be cool
Me who thought scart is normal, learn something new everyday
The only reason I upgraded from scart was so I could play split screen Minecraft on my 360
same lol
*Scart ( Syndicat des Constructeurs d’Appareils Radiorécepteurs et Téléviseurs)
Same didn’t know it wasn’t common place in the USA
I always called it "Peritel"
Same :D
It was also the worst, the slot always got wonky and I had to do all kinds of adjusting to get it work.
Anthony really took to being on camera really quickly. He's becoming one of my favorite hosts.
Although some of the videos with him in it are rough this video is insanely smooth. He's getting so much better.
@@7ngel Agreed. He articulates very well too, which is always a nice bonus.
Agreed!
@Sagres d'Amor I'm sure he'll get there. I find a lot of more unhealthy people tend to fix it right up once they're in the spotlight more often.
Credits at the end
"unwelcomed host: the fly" lol
When you learn Anthony means “priceless one” in Ancient Greek.
As a European: SCART was pretty much the standard thing here and consoles used to come with composite to scart convertors in the box.
yeah, I had a ton of Scart cables. Didnt know it was just a Euro thing
Indeed. I never really liked the plug though, it was so huge and fragile.
ayyyyyyyy euro scart gang gang
Yeah. And tension Could cause it to just Angle out a little bit. Wich i did because of the Angle
It’s not exclusively Euro, but it is PAL. Huge here in Australia.
Early for Anthony Tech Tips. Hell yeah! Best show on the Citadel!
Are you secretly desiring Hamlet performed by Anthony alone?
but RIP Anthony Dieting Tips. that one was stillborn
Upvote for the Mass Effect reference
7:49 I could feel the internal struggle that Anthony had with accepting defeat. What a great moment.
I love watching people become believers. :3
Here in Spain the SCART cable was called "Euroconector" back in the day. Now i know why.
Here in Poland was the same
Interesting, here in the UK it was always SCART, I never heard of it being called Euroconnector
@@jaytayner4292 you mean like th-cam.com/video/ZVYqB0uTKlE/w-d-xo.html yea, this is true.

@@DoomsdayR3sistance My TV here in the UK had it labelled as 'SCART/Euroconnector'.
When i see Anthony in the thumbnails i'm always so happy
I watch just to hear that refined man talk. I hope he stays as a big face of LTT
David: That's an Anthony tech tip, everybody.
Anthony: Retro tech tip
so humble
I feel like there should be a segment for Anthony's - Retro tech tips.
He has such a humble voice for any problems that pop up. Love it when Anthony's like "Well.. Not quite."
Anthony's hair blowing in the wind while he blows in the cartridge is so majestic.
Anthony is the best. His brain actually thinks BEFORE he speaks, and so eloquently !!
weird to think u guys didnt have SCART
Yeah. I thought everyone had SCART.
yep, im a huge tech nerd and ive only come across a SCART capable tv like twice in my life. but, i live in the middle of the US where there's more cows than people, so that may have had a hand in it
It's kinda weird how scary didn't become the standard, instead there was 3 standards, composite, S-Video and Scart living at the same time and Scart was clearly superior.
Sega consoles came with RGB SCART cables right out of the box . Not the other guys, but at least it was an option.
ain't no SCART in AMERICANFLAGBALDEAGLEMOBILITYSCOOTER as we say here in the US
Videos with Anthony always get a click out of me, love his voice and vibes. I remember seeing this device in the video with his home office upgrade, thanks for the review
his tone of sarcasm is seriously good. and the face he made when blowing on the cartridge worked, simply epic
More of this, please!
Cool, quirky, extra nerdy (possibly some fringe level) - stuffs...

He seems to really enjoy this type of thing, and I like watching him present it.

TH-camr in 2020: Don't blow in the cartridge
Me in 1999: Waaay too late buddy
Me in 1989: Whats a youtuber? (Blows into cartridge)
Me today: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Anthony: Don't blow in the cartridge, just use friction
Cartridge doesn't work even after friction method
Anthony blows in cartridge
Cartridge works
Me: Continues to blow into cartridge forever more
@@shurikencookies The reason you shouldn't blow into them is because the moisture from your breath can instigate/accelerate rust which will of course ruin the connectors. The best way to do it is to use a cotton swab (Q-Tip) and isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. The alcohol will clean up dust, resin, and to some extent rust but won't promote more rust. It also dries fairly quick (to be on the safe side I'd suggest waiting for it to dry). Note: Obviously enough if there isn't enough copper left on the contact (due to rust) then it wont matter how much you clean it.
@@grn1 tbh I do use isopropyl if I need to clean my electronics so it's good advice, though I'd be worried in that case the cotton swap might leave fibres best to get a good lint free micro fibre or chamois 👍
(Though I'd say only collectors and enthusiasts would do that lol)
Here in Algeria, *Scart* was called "The wide connector"
Yes, just like that.
There's a your mom joke hiding in that name. Although it is accurate, Scart is one of the wider connectors for consumer electronics.
"Peritel" in french
@@Aazerka Yes, you're right!
But to be clear, only the advanced ones in my county know that french name of it.
6:40 From my understanding, that only applies to some of the earliest models. The pieces of plastic that triggered the "cart lock" when the power button was on were removed to save on costs on later models.
07:54 Watching Anthony blowing the cartridge this slowly is priceless.
"Feel that? That's friction. It'll take the dust off." *stares seductively*
And then he still had to blow in it lol.
@@christophermorin9036 in the end, it's always better to blow before putting it in
I feel that 😆. I miss my nintendo. Blow the caridge before I connected,
@@christophermorin9036 ...and he looks absolutely fabulous blowing it (like one of those hair product commercials lol).
You finally got to do your video on this product, yay!!!
I Remember seeing it in your house upgrade video, and was looking forward to the passion that I just _knew_ you were going to exude while reviewing/over-viewing this!
Seriously though, Anthony's episodes are always the best. I feel like he just likes to show people what he is interested in, and he does it in an entertaining, informative way. Anthony should be the new G4 Host.

For a sec can we just appreciate the calmness Anthony brings to the LTT group
6:08 lies! Blowing in the cartridge doesn’t just clean out the dust! It also provides more carbon dioxide to the cartridge, and tells the game you’re frustrated that it’s not working. This makes the game try harder and work more often.
Sources: dude trust me
Do more new tech for retro consoles. Really love how much hardware and mods are coming out. Like MegaSD, PS1Digital, NeoSD, etc.
There a Channel called Mylifeingaming that has an entire series of videos on getting the best out of your retro consoles.

It's fascinating to me how much better the Quality on Retro consoles can be with the right tools
9:30 I get annoyed when an LMG host (or any other TH-camr) vaguely mentions a video I should watch and there's no link in a card, the end screen, the description, a pinned comment, or anywhere. It's not Anthony's fault; he was just rolling. Whatever; I just decided I'd do it myself. I hope these are right.

@@Tuulos you are a good person. Thank you!
8:02 When you blow into the cartridge you transfer moisture to the 64 pin connector and that makes continuity with the 64 pin slot.
Great video, really enjoyed it. I grew up in the UK with scart and have an OSSC that I use for various old 8-bit computers.
The direct eye contact while blowing in the cartridge. I lost it! Amazing!
We used to call SCART "Euroconector" here in Spain in the 90s.
Ahhhh SCART, and the never ending aligning of paper thin contacts.
You must've been doing something wrong, I've never had to do that in 40 years of using scart.
Anthony I love when you talk about retro stuff, I appreciate so much these things, you are awesome and a very funny person, I would like to see more videos about retro gaming. On the other hand when you are on the start of the video, I know it is gonna be a good one. Maybe a good idea could be making a video about the definitive guide to emulate retro games, having in account your opinion about the delay and input lag problems on emulation software.
i was waiting for this since i saw it on your home upgrade!
Antony is just the best!
7:56 oh man this brings me back. If it wasn't working you would just blow into the cartridge and bam instant fix.

Myth confirmed
Anthony: Surprised laughter.
What is really going on is the moisture from his breath is helping make a proper connection. The pins in the slot are getting weak and need to be replaced/tensioned.
@@zachdemand4508 the moisture is also going to oxidise them. I would avoid blowing on them. (someone correct me if this is a myth)
@@zachdemand4508 nope when you reinstert the cartridge the dust etc is scratched of the contacts

I would love to see more RetroTechTips!
Ha! Loved watching Anthony explain SCART to North Americans!
Yes, SCART is a great connector - it carries composite, s-video or RGB signals, plus stereo audio and a control signal usually used to switch inputs (so when you turn on the device the TV switches on/switches input and switches back again when turned off). I couldn't believe it when I first went to the US in 2002 and found TVs had no SCART, no digital teletext, no digital TV, not even teletext - and they were 4:3! Imagine my surprise when I had to delve into the world of learning remotes just to make input switching less painful, something that was automatic with SCART. It shattered my image of the US being ahead in tech!
Many people still use SCART in the UK for their older DVD players, as it was the standard here for decades and works well. I used to check people's DVD player and set-top box settings when I first visited, as chances were they'd have it set to the defaults of composite output and 4:3 ratio; I'd set it correctly (TVs here have been RGB and 16:9 for about 20 years) and they would be amazed at the jump in sharpness! RGB SCART leads were also my first purchase for all my consoles back in the day: Saturn, Dreamcast, N64, Wii, Xbox, PS2 - I never used the cables in the box!
HDMI is better of course, although with a 576i signal it can be hard to tell the difference. Last year I got an HDMI adapter for my Wii when I bought my first TV without SCART sockets, and it looks fine, but not really any better than my Wii with SCART.
The one thing I will say against SCART is it is a bit bulky, find if your equipment is all together, but hard for long cable runs that go through walls. You could take the jacket off and feed the cable if you knew what you were doing, but was a bit painful. Also it never carried progressive scan signals, not that it couldn't have, but TV and device manufacturers took the route of just adding component to devices in the UK.
Aside from that SCART was, and is, a great connector. A pity the US never got it.
I like how calm your voice sounds. Very relaxing to watch.
When i see Anthony i click like before even watching, give the guy a raise!!!!
Some feedback for the editor: imo the music in this video was way too loud. For me, it was distracting
lovely choice in music, but could be like 10-20% quieter
@@GLAXxan completely agree about the choice of music, but it could be even more than 20% quieter for me, but that's probably just personal preference
Agreed. 30-40 percent less would be okay.
omg it was SO hard to plug scart in back in the days, because you had to do it basically blind (scart was always on the back of the TV and the TV normally was not really movable, too big, clunky and heavy).
Anthony blowing in the cartridge looking fierce AF... thats a shirt print if i ever seen one!
Scart...the childhood memory that gave life to all our videoboxes we rented, and finally when we could afford a VCR to the chunky CTR or fat-tv also called. Awesome video, and tnx Anthony for all these memoryboosts 🤓🤟
7:58 I feel terrified and weirdly aroused . . . Great video Anthony!!
Love to see Anthony reviewing something he really likes.
The thing about SCART is, that it's just the connector/pin standard, and the cable can actually carry pretty much anything on it. Composite/RGB/S-Video/Component can all be carried over the SCART cable, though not all cables had all the pins connected so for example trying to carry RGB on a low-end SCART cable might not work. But the cable itself was a beast and made things SO MUCH easier for us in the Europe, as you would just pretty much connect anything to your TV via SCART, either via SCART-SCART or just using one of those adapters that would eat in Composite/S-Video/whatever and transfer it to the SCART connector :).
