I heard you can run this on a PS2 Console?

Does it also play CPS2 and CPS3 emulator?

Also how well does PS1 Games run on Fat PS2?

A local technician is selling me a PS2 modded with HDD etc refurbished in new condition he replaced all capacitors and cleaned out the inside into new condition with electrical cleaner etc lubed fan bearings and changed out lens etc

He selling me it with PS2 controller also redone with new analog sticks and new button rubbers etc all for $162 which I think is good price he bringing it home by me so I can test it before I pay him he is that confident about his work and his reputation he says. The video he sent me it looks like it's absolute perfect condition.

So this to me seems like the ideal console instead of a Wii cause I heard the Wii cannot properly emulate PS1 games but that the PS2 is much better at it?

PS: I am also getting a CRT TV in excellent condition a 20 inch from someone who had it sitting in a attic for 12 years covered in plastic it only has composite so I can just connect the PS2 to it and run the SNES games since modern PC doesn't have analog outputs anymore I figured this is as good as any deal I am gonna get so might as well get this for historical value.

Guys I need help I recently started looking into getting old consoles so I can build a retro room but I then remembered I absolutely hated the texture wobble in PS1 due to it's lack of Floating Point CPU. I also hated blowing cartridges etc, then also hated the horrible low streaming rate of PS2 games where it would fail to load textures also hated the low 23 FPS in many PS2 games the jaggies due to lack of Anti Aliasing.

I actually ended up getting a gaming PC because of exactly these limitations so I feel like this nostalgia will wear off real quick, also a guy who refurbishes consoles told me PS2 and SNES are all very old decades old at this point and those capacitors would need replacing and a lot of work and they aren't guaranteed to last a long time.

It was then it hit me, wait a minute I can just use Retro Arch so I did that I have emulated Final Burn Alpha and SNES with RetroArch with Mega Bezels community edition NEC TV artwork and full CRT filter scanlines etc using the HDR mode in RetroArch on my OLED monitor which gives 1000 nits to burst through the dark scanlines to give a really bright nice image through the CRT filters on my PC

Then it had me thinking what if I get some sort of Raspberry Pi with Composite output? or RGB to composite converter or something? and connect it to this Sharp CRT TV and put it in my gaming room? and what if I get a shall for this thing you know like a SNES or PS1 shell to mount the Raspberry Pi?

And what if the Raspberry Pi can carry the special PS1 emulator that fixes the PS1 wobble?

And what if I just use PCSX2 on my high end gaming PC and enable full Anti Aliasing and 1440p resolution to relive those old RPG in QHD quality at 60 FPS?

Then it had me thinking what if I built a Mini Computer PC with PCSX2 and used a PS2 3D printed Shell of some sort as the mini computer case? this way I can have a PS2 with the power of modern gaming PC Hardware.

Was getting a fat PS2 modded with HDD and Network Adapter etc for $180 the person said he replaced the capacitors etc in it and cleaned it perfectly he buys used PS2 and refurbishes it completely he is local in my country. But he buys it on Ebay and stuff and ship it then refurbish it by replacing the caps etc he does this with many consoles.

He mentioned to me the reason he replaces the capacitors etc is due to the age he said these things are over 20 years old and a lot of times they are about to blow and that I may not be able to fix these things myself either cause they are complicated if I have to solder and replace capacitors etc or diagnose issue.

This had me thinking I have a Gaming PC with RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and Ryzen 5700 X3D and 64GB RAM with 27" Asus ROG OLED Monitor 1440P

Given the circumstances perhaps it would make more sense to just use an emulator for PS2 since it would actually look better (thanks to Anti Aliasing and other features of modern GPU)
And use a high end Mega Bezel Cyber Labs OLED CRT scanline filter on my OLED Monito which does allow for HDR?

Cause I am also getting a used CRT TV from someone for $40 but judging by the age of a CRT and it does have screen flicker at 60 HZ I am wondering if this really is worth it due to age.

I was thinking tho of getting the CRT TV since it's only $40 but for console I can get Raspberry Pi with composite output and drop in the Arcade and SNES emulator on it.

Can Raspberry run PS1 games?

I have a gaming PC with RTX 5060 Ti and would love to run SNES and PS1 and PS2 games connecting a CRT TV

But I heard those Amazon HDMI to composite converters are bad cause it don't output in 240p or something like that and that it adds like 2 frames of lag 30ms

IS there like display port to VGA then VGA to composite or some other workaround?

If not I may look to invest in a Raspberry Pi android emulator or something that comes with composite output.

Also what about say USB to composite? actually that sounds like it will add input delay.

very Amazon review I read always has that person saying the seller is a scammer and sold them a bad console that either doesn't work or filled with dead roaches etc

FUN FACT: Even at consistent 1000 HZ and 1000 FPS this Next Gen TN LCD still cannot beat a 60 HZ Electron Gun.

Getting a 19" Sharp CRT TV with composite input so thinking of getting a refurbished Wii for NES and SNES emulators and N64 but I also heard it can emulate PS1 how well does it do this? and what is the compatibility like?

Amazing saturated OLED level colors weren't a focus of CRT or it's Pixel Based Games.
Composite cables blended the colors to create the unique image the developer intended, it was an artstyle more than it was accuracy the flaws of CRT and composite cables are the reason those Retro games look so good on CRT yet so bad on perfect OLED displays.

The developers were very much aware of the limitations and flaws of these technology and so they purposely designed games to take advantage of those tech. It's explained quite brilliantly with the sonic waterfall effect as a matter of fact, the developers knew this was only possible via composite. Yes RGB can display the waterfall but not with the amazing artstyle that composite can.

Composite cables were the FXAA / TAA of it's time, the blur created by this limitation helped to hide the jaggy aliasing and blend the colors into an image that made it look more realistic and true to life from a distance.

I decided to get back into Retro Gaming of my childhood so I am buying a CRT TV I am getting a great one barely ever used like new condition from an accountant woman I know she is selling me it for $40

I saw on Amazon has these SNES housing replica that can take a Raspberry Pi computer and a special SNES retro Cartridge I am guessing this is like a hidden SD card inside a 3D printed cartridge that you load up all the games?

And does this Pi have a composite output? also what about something like an HDMI to Composite do those things work good or they have tons of lag etc?

I wanna also get a PS1 3D printed housing if possible and put a raspberry Pi inside that to emulate games and when I press the power button a PS1 boot screen comes up like the glory days, is this possible?

And what about a 3D Printed PS2 housing and a Raspberry Pi? I am guessing at this point it's no longer possible as the PS2 would be too difficult to emulate on a Raspberry Pi? or whatever emulation hardware that exists?

Any help to make it all authentic would be great, I turned 40 and lost interest in modern multi player games, I am in the process of detoxing from doom scrolling on social media which has wrecked my mental state and I am slowly transitioning myself back into Retro single player games but I want to make the experience as authentic as possible from the glory days of a bygone era.

A little confused about all of it I have an OLED monitor and wondering the best way to enable HDR I am using the mega bezel shaders.

Also does it matter which emulator I use? or is the HDR universal?

So I have been using FREE GPT for social media ads for electronic products and this new Free GPT is incredibly amazing it has completely replaced Canva for me.

I cannot believe the incredible quality of ads it producres

My one issue is when designing multi product ads like a flyer style ad with 12 products on one page.

Free GPT will hallucinate seems like it cannot consistently keep track of all these products in one go and will just start adding random items or images

So my question is does GO or Plus solve this issue? I see GO uses core model and Plus uses some sort of thinking model before creating said ad?

Absolutely 0 point in buying a monitor with DYAC 3 if it doesn't support VRR like G-Sync Pulsar.

Also enough of this nasty 1080P TN and Matte coating nobody wants that crap anymore.

Pulsar monitors come with 1440P, VRR with Strobing at same time and one of them even comes with superior Glossy Coating.

I tried out one of those Zowie monitors the matte coating was so hard and hash it was like looking at Vaseline smeared shit across my monitor.

I promptly returned it and got 500 HZ Glossy OLED instead.

That is so I don't waste 12 minutes waiting for the wrong video to generate.
