    My vote is for the CRT in the kiosk. The CRT fits the time and novelty of having a kiosk displaying in the game room, and when you use the kiosk you want to have that feeling of going back to the early 2000s.

    i have basically this same kiosk, but the european version in silver instead of black. there are definitely differences such as the side ”nintendo” logos not having lights on my version, no reset button, no magazine racks. but my version is extremely heavy and thicker with the walls having the same design but twice as thick (basically double walls on both sides) as yours, and the bottom plate being solid cast iron making it almost impossible to move. looks very similar, but almost all the parts are just slightly different. fat silver tv, silver/purple details, silver gamecube, purple controllers. very cool to see more of them!

    No other video game pickup has felt as complete and fulfilling as seeing that GC boot windwaker and SM Sunshine on a buzzing, breathing and ovenhot CRT.

      @lemons2300 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It'a a D-Series from JVC. I think it uses shadow mask or something like that (not sure if it's just the updated late 90s type of slot mask or it's actually something else). It's got component input and it's a non-flatscreen (some people prefer that). Supposedly only weighs about 115 lbs for a 32 inch. Usually 32" 4:3 SD CRT TVs weigh more than 140-150 lbs (as a comparison, there are 32" Wega Trinitrons that weigh more than 165 lbs, and traditional non-flatscreen Trinitrons weighing over 160 lbs).
      Originally I wanted to get the D-Series but decided not to, due to the "geometry issue" on the left side of the screen being seemingly prevalent in these sets (have seen at least 4 D-series sets with minor to moderate picture issues in the same area that is on the left side of the screen), and also after having seen one at my local game store and being underwhelmed with its picture (which was also plagued with what looked to be a moderate geometry issue on the left side). Still it's highly praised in the CRT gaming community which still makes me curious about its true potential. The main highlight is definitely the weight for the screen size you get (which I bet it'd be quite challenging to find something equivalent to this) in addition to the component input for a non-flatscreen tube which is also quite uncommon (other than the D-series which are pretty common finds as its own category).

      MJR is only looking for a better way to have these on display...you can't fault him for trying different things to see what is a good fit. HDMI does look better but I think it takes away from the old school look of it so my vote is on the old CRT. I think MJR only switched it because the model he had was a little old and not as vibrant but the thought process is there...he wants the best possible way to display it...he did say that it was a little hard to find a tv model to match the kiosk

    I vote for keeping the CRT but try to get some good S-video cables. The picture quality will be improved quite a bit over composite. Just don't get the cheap S-video cables as I hear some brands will actually just split the composite video signal and send that over S-video so that they could be compatible with the SNES Mini. I've only ever used official Nintendo S-video cables, but they can't be the only ones which offer true S-video. If you see a warning that says it doesn't work with the SNES 2/Mini, then that's a good thing.

    • @yore5
      @yore5 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Seconded. Composite to S-Video is a HUGE jump in quality. It's like 85% of the way to RGB honestly. I got my S-Video cable for $10 on ebay. As long as the photo shows it without the composite lead, and only has the red/white audio plugs and s-video, you're good. I got a no-name generic cable and it looks great. No checkerboarding artifacts.

    @redbeardnj 4 ปีที่แล้ว +45

    Dude, you need some thick curtains for that sliding patio door. Those doors are a theifs dream come true, not only can the bad guy see all your stuff, but they are easy to break in. I'm a master carpenter who installs these doors, so I'm very knowledgeable on them. I'd reccomend putting a 2×4 peice of wood on the bottom left side(looking out from in the house) in the track. Cut the wood exact , leaving no wiggle when the door is shut. Dont rely on the door stopper that's in the center, crooks can fish a wire in to open that.
    Stay safe. I hope this helps you 👍happy new year

    • @redbeardnj
      @redbeardnj 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Also, I should have mentioned this...since it's also easy for a bad guy to smash the sliding patio door glass to gain entry(especially if you dont have close neighbors) there is a cost efficient solution without replacing them, or if you just like them and dont want to close it up with a traditional solid door.
      Ok, buy a product called "Hurricane shatterproof glass film" or "window security film". You apply it just like window tint(except it's clear, so it's not obvious) and it will prevent the glass from breaking, essentially making it extremely tough for a bad guy to gain entry. They even make a bullet-proof version! You can research it, its amazing stuff. I use it on all my first floor windows and door glass.

      Mr. NoName well it was more kid friendly that’s why there was no GTA, (even tho Vice City and San Andreas were fantastic) and the indigo was to bring colour to the console. I love the PS2 but black gets boring after awhile (I know that the PS2 has different colours like silver and other ones but there were like basic colours not indigo)

      Mr. NoName "no real gamer would take it seriously at the time". I guess "real gamers" didn't mind the slower hardware with slowdown in many games, plus inferior graphics to boot (though still good with component video anyway as composite ps2 was poor + mostly limited to 480i games). Metroid Prime and Wind Waker's huge worlds and content proved that jumping from 600+ megs on CD to 1.5 gb was enough of a leap in storage size. But I agree that Nintendo was still crazy dumb to release a purple lunch box right after Sony proved that selling to teens and adults was not only much more profitable, but alot more logical and sensible.
      The GameCube's execution was flawed, but it still deserved to sell wayy more than it did.

    The controllers can be easily replaced. You just remove the bolt in the front with an allen wrench.

    As a Retro Gamer on a budget, I am a less elitist snob about using HDMI with older tech. If the games and demos look better in HDMI, then go for it. That said, unless you want to hunt down a screen that actually fills all that space, you should probably DIY a border for around the screen. In your case, probably something that screams "I am the scion of Nintendo and Heavy Metal!"

    About the reset switch: while I couldn't tell from the footage, I was thinking you should have a couple contacts or screw terminals on the power supply that you could connect those two leads to. Some power supplies for low voltage electronics have the ability to be reset or turned off simply by providing a contact closure via a button or a switch, which I would guess is exactly what that button does. This kind of stuff is really common in late 90s/early 2000s intercoms, access control, surveillance and pro sound equipment, so it would make sense if this had something similar. I'm a low voltage electrician by trade (also based out of Seattle!) and may be able to offer more suggestions or help with finding parts and pieces, etc., if you felt like reaching out.
    Also, I'd keep the CRT. :)

    • @nrzimmer
      @nrzimmer 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I still remember seeing a very similar kiosk (PAL version) in a local Kmart here in Australia in the early 2000's, design was virtually identical but the panels and brochure racks were more of a pearl white than silver. I'm pretty sure the demo disc was different as well as Australia was one of the last markets the system was released in. Would be cool to find one of them now and resurrect it with a 51 cm (20 inch) Sony CRT (what I played Gamecube on back in the day).
