The PPU-LITE is a new opensource FPGA clone of the Famicom / NES PPU, which has one difference over the Nintendo made PPU: whereas the Nintendo PPU only natively outputs composite, the PPU-LITE also outputs RGB in addition to composite. It is a drop-in replacement for the PPU. You can download the source files for it and get boards printed yourself, or you can buy pre-made boards from AliExpress.

The installation is very similar to the installation of the NESRGB mod, with one exception: you no longer need to harvest a PPU from another console. This makes SMTendo builds more streamlined.

Many people like to complain about CRTs being sold for hundreds of dollars, but if you care about the preservation of CRTs, you should be happy to see that people are willing to pay non-trivial money for working CRT TVs because it means that society values CRTs, it motivates people to save CRTs from being trashed as a means of making money.

If nobody is willing to pay for CRTs, then more CRTs would be destroyed.

I have posted many times before examples of how to use an oscilloscope to fix the most difficult categories of CRT issues: jitter and streaming. These two categories of issues have so many root causes, it is foolish to try to fix them by shotgun replacing components. Here I show subtle streaking that and the scope waveforms that show the issue is caused by ringing in the luma pre-amp.

Here is another post showing older post of mine showing another case of streaking being root caused using a scope.

This post containing the wall of text where the OP claims to have invented a modern alternative to a CRT is a case of AI psychosis where a person bounces ideas off of an LLM that feeds their delusions that they are on a path to a big breakthrough.

The LLMs have been trained on most publicly available documents, and the above picture is a prototype device from a 2016 research paper, which uses a laser, MEMS mirror, and a phosphor painted screen. The LLMs memorize documents and during AI psychosis, the LLM feeds their delusions by pulling factoids from documents it has memorized. This explains why the poster wasn’t able to provide a coherent explanation of the theory of operation, no schematic, and no picture of the prototype.

The real idea and prototype is essentially copied from the 10 year old research paper linked above.

Lagless wireless RF transmitter allows for connecting HDMI or composite (AV) video devices to CRT TVs. This transmitter is called the TV-TX200. It comes with a telescopic monopole antenna. These pictures show a telescopic dipole that increases range.

CRT TV is a 1984 Panasonic TR-1030P
Video source is an 8-bit NES
Transmitter is a TV-TX200 with a dipole antenna

This is a simple test to comfirm that converting composite to wireless RF does not add any display lag.

The first picture shows a SNES running 240p Test Suite’s frame counter test pattern, which constantly increases a number corresponding to the number of frames drawn so far. Both wired TV and wireless TV are displaying the same time and frame count. Zoom in to check for yourself.

The second picture changes the setup by broadcasting wireless RF using both the original NTSC and also in PAL. The PAL conversion adds 5 frames of lag as can be seen with the NTSC wireless CRT displaying frame 25 and the PAL wireless CRT is displaying frame 20! It isn’t the wireless RF adding the lag here. It is the NTSC to PAL conversion, which uses a wired adapter.

Next I will post a video of me playing Duckhunt using a TV connected via wireless RF as another proof point that wireless RF is lagless.

Tekko Pro contains two modern insect growth regulators (IGR), which are safe for humans, but disrupt the growth of insects, including clothes moths and beetles that eat oriental rugs and other wool and silk textiles. Tekko Pro is diluted with water, and then sprayed onto both sides of the rug. To make the spraying very easy and fast, I recommend using an electronic paint sprayer. See pictures of the product listings for both. Note that the two IGRs in Tekko Pro are Pyriproxyfen and Novaluron. Both are widely available from other brands. I only recommend the Tekko Pro brand because it premixes both IGRs into a single concentrate. You may be able to find cheaper options that you can mix yourself.

These IGRs provide long lasting protection for 7 months. Instead of repelling the moths, the moths will still be attracted to your rugs, but the IGR kills the eggs and larva and makes the female moths sterile. Since it is the larva that actually damages the rugs and the moths cannot even eat, the IGRs act as death traps that attract female moths, which then become sterile. If any egg or larva somehow makes it to your rugs, the IGRs kill them.
