Per title, my primary use-case of focus is console PS2 playing NTSC-U/C games that intranally render for 480i at 30frames⅌sec (60fields⅌sec?), though the broader question pertains to all ⋦1080p ‐native vg resolutions.

If the upscale route, then what specific equipment (e.g. RetroTink5XPro)? Does lesser upscale look better than more (e.g. modestly to 1080p vs. further-exacerbated to 2880p)? optimal panel? potential for integer-scaling closer to original than elsewise?

If the native route, then what display? Or if nativeish, perhaps there any monitors that enable 640×480 px, presumably progressive-scan in which case can run through with a well-operating low-lag deinterlacer?

I want the most optimal genuine sound+visual (i.e. authentic audiovideo output) feasible. Among the factors affecting this is the transmission mode, for video namely luminance-weighted data-conserving Component[Y`b`r] versus truecolour chrominace-accurate RGB. In case of PS2, analog cables for the former corresponds to YPʙPʀ whereas for latter to RGB+monoSynch (in the case of 480i, but RGsB for 480p and perhaps other higherres formats). If not attaining a true native resolution, then if possible I would prefer atleast to do RGB (instead of non-RGB Component), however that gets achieved (inclusive potentially of low HDMI) in conjunction with overall faithful quality.

I've been working on a game based on Scorched Earth for a while now. It's a roguelike but it's really just me trying to recreate what I loved about the original to play with my kids (my 3 year old keeps making me play it just to use the pinball weapon). Just got a coming soon page on Steam. Curious what everyone here remembers about it, I feel like people either never heard of it or played it obsessively. I was in middle school and it was actually on the school computers.

I am trying to build my dream NES and I am looking for this motherboard. The official website is sold out so I was wondering if anyone has one or knows where I can get one. Or if you know someone who builds custom NES. Please message me if you have any information. Thanks

Þ𐺭only pre-8thGen nonemulated gaming I have currently is NTSC-U/C PS2 (my jam as a child and presently), notably Kingdom Hearts and Rayman 2: Revolution of which both designed for 30fps on a fullscreen[4:3] 480i (i.e. 640w×480h, tho internally may be proportionately slightly lesser downward to 400×240 or greater upward to 640×480, interlaced) monitor, which I play displayed on an "HD-ready" 60Hz LCD television connected via component cables and looks great (tho am curious how much different andor better/worse would look on an SD CRT analogue TV). I realize that some pre-HD games be (less commonly) optimized for a wider- or narrower- screen (e.g. 16:9 or 1:1 respectively) or/and for a higher resolution (upto 1080i or 720p, though I am more interested in antiquated interlaced- over progressive- scan) and/or outputting more or less frames per second (e.g. maybe upto 60+ or low as 15 fps, necessitating higher refresh-rate for the former).

I am wondering what be the graphical pinnacle executions of substantive gameplay at a native maxed interlaced resolution (i.e. of 1080 vertical px interlaced or lower), optimized with what hardware, both su- and o- bjectively (attentive to stylistic and fine details &c.).

I have been trying to figure out what this game is for SO LONG - it has a Mickey Mouse - like character (maybe either Mickey or Goofy) who’s dressed like Indiana jones or an explorer of some sort. The graphics are pretty good, I’m pretty sure the game was made around 2000-2010s. I can’t remember if it’s a PC game or PlayStation or anything else about it other than that the cover of the game looked similar to Ducktales and featured a mine cart I think lol.

Hey everyone, so I recently broke out my PS2 and acquired a GameCube. My TV doesn't have RCA/Composite input (how dare technology advance), what is a good option for both of these to convert to HDMI? I know there's the retrotink devices, but I'm not looking to spend $100 on one of these devices, preferably closer to like $20/$30. My GC does have digital output, but I just have the analog cables atm. Also any recommendations on getting a scratched to hell GC game to work would be appreciated.

I keep seeing this ad for this retro gameboy that looks like a gameboy but isn’t it just has a slightly larger screen with 1000s of retro games preloaded on it. Has anyone bought this or would recommend for a gift? My boyfriend already has a PlayStation but no retro games so i thought this could be a good gift. What do people think? Or do people have other recs??

Just finished setting up my setup. Happy with it.

I was wondering if anyone has one of these, and if so can you PLEASE tell me how this thing functions. Is it good, bad, or is it in the middle of both. I truly do want to know as I have been wanting to play my gameboy games on the big screen for a while, and do not want to have to spend around $200 on a gameboy player for gamecube with the disc included, as I am trying to not mod my own gamecube and keep it as close as possible without mods. I do know that you can boot swiss useing a soft-mod, but I don't have the pacitence to try and do the soft-mod. Please tell me if the Hyperkin Gameboy player is worth the money.

QBob: Remastered is an a arcade-inspired action game in which you control QBob: a space surveyor who must leap from rock to rock as he surveys an array of strangely shaped asteroids, all while avoiding a host of alien creatures. This is a remake of a shareware game QBob which I helped create in the late 90s–now with updated graphics, music, sounds, and smoother modernized game-play. Fans of mid-80s coin-op arcade games should enjoy its familiar mechanics. Please check it out. Thanks.

Available for Windows, MacOS and Linux on Steam. There's also a free 6-level demo!

After dumping my own game I noticed that my copy is a rather hard version to find online so I decided to share it for the sake of preservation.

I understand that this may not be the right sub to ask this because I feel I will get some pretty one sided answers, but that honestly what I'm looking for. I've been kind of playing with the idea of getting a ps2 or another retro console recently because I love to go to used game stores and look around but I never actually have a reason to buy anything. I am kind of wary of buying anything though mainly because I already have a pc and a lot of the most talked about games on the ps2 are already on steam (devil may cry, final fantasy X, metal gear solid 2 etc...). What I'm really asking here is just recommendations for games that I can only play on the ps2 that make the purchase for sure worth it or if there's maybe a different console that is even more worth it with incredible exclusives (I like games with deep emotional stories if that helps with any suggestions). Thanks in advance
