      I PLUGGED MY N64 INTO MY NEW TCL X6800 TV SET WHERE IT SAYS AV IN. THE TV CAME WITH A SPECIAL PLUG WITH 3 DIFFERENT COLOURED PIN TYPE PLUGS. I GOT THE N64 WORKING THIS WAY BUT THE PICTURE LOOKS MORE BLURRED THAN WHEN I PLUGGED THE N64 INTO AN OLDER TV. SO I DECIDED TO TRY THE SUPER NINTENDO CONSOLE PLUGGED INTO THE NEW TV WHERE IT SAYS AV IN USING THE 3 COLOURED PLUGS AS I MENTIONED WHICH ARE YELLOW WHITE AND RED. WELL I AM NOW SURE THIS TV CAUSES THE SNES CONSOLE GAMES TO LOOK A BIT BLURRED ALSO. SO THIS IS NO GOOD. I WANT TO HOOK UP MY OLD GAMING CONSOLES TO MY NEW TV. I FOUND AN OLD PLUG WHICH WILL PLUG INTO THE AERIAL SECTION OF THIS TV BUT I CANT WORK OUT HOW TO TUNE IT IN. I DID TRY THE AUTO TUNE BUT NOTHING HAPPENED SO I AM YET TO FIND OUT HOW TO GET MY OLD CONSOLES TO WORK ON THIS TV. PERHAPS I LL GET ONE OF THOSE HD CONVERTERS OR TRY AND FIND OUT HOW I CAN POSSIBLY TUNE IN MY SNES AND OTHER OLD CONSOLES USING THE AERIAL TYPE PLUG TO THE TV.....................I MAY REPORT BACK SOME OTHER TIME. AND I WILL NOW GO BACK TO WATCHING THE REST OF THIS DEMO.

      @steven[]seagull YES, I AGREE, I PLUGGED MY N64 IN FIRST USING THE 3 COLOURED PINS TO THE AV CHANNEL USING THE ADAPTOR PROVIDED WITH MY TV SET AND IT LOOKS MORE BLURRED THAN ON OLDER TV SETS SO I PLUGGED IN MY SNES CLEAR GAME EQUINOX AND ITS BLURRED. SO IM NOT TOO HAPPY. SO THEN I FOUND A CORD WHICH HAS AN AERIAL TYPE ADAPTOR PLUG SO I PLUGGED MY SNES INTO THE AERIAL SOCKET AND TRIED THE AUTO TUNE IN METHOD AND IT DIDNT TUNE NOTHING IN. I VIEWED ALL THE CHANNELS I CAN FIND INCLUDING THE AV AND HD AND NORMAL TV CHANNELS AND NOTHING HAPPENED. SO I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO TUNE IN MY SNES TO THE TV. I LL TRY AND FIND OUT. I SAW ON ANOTHER VIDEO DEMO TO GET A HD ADAPTOR. I THINK THATS WHAT ITS CALLED. I MIGHT EVEN DO THAT.

  • @goukigod
    @goukigod 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Nice one, a good simple explanation overall. One nitpick I’ll make is that composite isn’t comparable to anything else, it’s easily the lowest quality connection type. Even s-video will give a significantly better image but if you want the best you’ll need either scart or component cables. Things start to get complicated when you look into the latter though.

    4:49 RGB SCART has a better picture quality than Composite or S-Video. SCART have 21 pins which includes composite which does not improve the picture quality over RCA composite video. If your TV has a SCART input and decided to connect a Sega Mega Drive I recommend RGB SCART not composite SCART for better picture quality. RGB SCART are as rare as a chicken teeth here in NTSC country and we don't have that.

      @@boodro2122 If you want to play your Snes or other old consoles on your tv you should check out the RetroTINK 2X or 2X Pro (which accepts composite, S-video and component YpBpR) or the upcomming RetroTINK 2X Mini (which accepts only composite and s-video), the RT2X series are line doublers which will output 480p/576p (depends on what region you live in) with NO input lag (exept the input lag of your tv) and why 480p? Compatibility. Those devices will solve your problems. Or a Rad2X which extract the RGB or composite (no S-video) signal out of your Snes or whatever multi out Nintendo console you have and output it on a hd tv or 4k tv like the RetroTINK(s) but only if the source supports RGB so no N64 in RGB without modding or NTSC Gamecube which only supports composite and S-video like the N64.

    I’ve wanted to produce my own line of newly made CRT monitors specially designed for retro gaming before now. I contacted the Early Television Museum about this, and they told me that making a new CRT monitor would be difficult, but the guns in the CRT that make up the picture can be replaced, more easily on black & white TVs than on color ones.

  • @BLOODY__FATALITY

    Easiest all around solution I've found in my years of searching is using the retrotink devices Mike Chi makes. There are a few options so whether you have a smaller budget or you want to use a larger budget for higher quality you can go for a more expensive model like the 5x or 4k and get a really clear picture with loads of screen changing options for screen layouts to stretch to a 16:9 or shrink to a 4:3. You also have plenty of scanline options based on various older TVs and monitors as well as smoothing filters or pixel perfect images so you can virtually have any look you want with some tweaking and make various different presets for your different consoles. You can also stack other devices on like a mClassic for example for more improvement. Quite the versitile set of devices for upscaling and playing your older consoles on modern displays.

    aerial tuned in on the old 'analog' tuner setting when you tune in your TV or if you can't do that get an old vcr with a tuner on it and scart lead on it and scan the analog tuner on the vcr whilst plugged into the scart lead on the tv. it's a long winded way around it but it'll work

    I don't have Atari 2600 so I have no idea if the RF out has 5 volts bias with it like the NES & SNES because the NES RF Switch at 1:33 requires a 5 volts bias to allow the signal from game console to reach your TV while the signal from the outdoor antenna connected the the RF Switch is blocked. Without the 5 volts bias like if you turn off the NES the opposite happens. The signal from outdoor antenna can reach to your TV while the RF devices that don't have 5 volts bias is blocked.

    The older wood grain versions of Atari 2600 in the USA have an RCA type plug on both ends of the wire(but 1 end is only removable if you take the system apart), it went into a small RF box that you use to have to screw into older crts. Now you can skip the old RF box by getting a cheap adapter that turns it into a coaxial type connection, however like a few people have said it doesn’t look that great, I’d say it will look better on an old crt is you can find one cheap.

    I’ve noticed that most new TVs only come with 1 analog input now, the analog input is component except the green plug can also act as composite, I’ve also seen some with the adapters. I plan to hang onto my slightly older flat screens from around 2012 for a while. I would like to get a CRT but I don’t have the necessary space for it. My TVs still have dedicated composite and component, along with VGA. Even many flat screens from around 2010 and before also gave you an extra composite. I wish one of my TVs had an extra HDMI but I have an adapter so I can just use that. I would also like an extra composite sometimes but I guess I can deal with it. I would use my VCR but it only has mono audio.

    That funky widescreen effect on some games, it's usually the result of bad PAL conversions. NTSC had a height of 480, while PAL had 576. A lot of lazy developers didn't bother to convert the image to the difference resolution and just added black bars on the top and bottom to fill the extra 96 vertical pixels used by PAL.

      I'm surprised the AV ones are not showing. I'd say it's unlikely that ALL the SNES are faulty but maybe the cable is if you're using the same one for all? Do the SNES's work on other TV's? That would go a long way in determining if it's the SNES's or TV at fault.

    I'm trying very hard to connect my GameCube to my new Sony HDTV. I can connect both audio composite cords to my TV, but the yellow one seems to be made for something of a different build. Which means I can get audio for my games, just no picture. I'm rather clueless when it comes to this thing, so I have no idea what adapter I could need. I've searched and searched with no hope. I simply can't afford all the big rigs I've seen others with.

      Is the port by any chance s-video? Here is what it looks like: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/93/S-Video_7-pin_quasi-DIN_connector.JPG/170px-S-Video_7-pin_quasi-DIN_connector.JPG
      If so it's quite easy to find an adapter that converts from composite to that.

    If I plug in something like a GameCube or an Xbox360 the image pops up no problem.
    The problem seems to be the age of the consoles which is driving me nuts as it seems nobody else on the internet has any trouble getting their stuff to run.
    Do you have any idea what I could possibly be missing for 3 different HD TV's of different brand and years to have the same issue?
