  • Good catch on the typo, once the branding request is merged I'll fix that

  • If you're going with a scaler, it's definitely worth it to invest in better cables (even though the n64 uses the same connector as snes, it does not support rgb without mods)

    Some helpful videos: https://youtu.be/VYkWtkvhS9c https://youtu.be/fi7csYj00BU

    Also if you're not too attached to using original hardware, you might want to take a look at getting a mister to play ps1 and before systems (the new super station is a good choice https://retroremake.co/pages/superstation%E1%B5%92%E2%81%BF%E1%B5%89 )

  • I would say "probably". A lot of TVs don't have great scaling from 240p, 480p, and 480i content so a dedicated scaler will look better in most cases. Also be aware that the Ossc Pro does need an additional add-on for S-video (which for an unmodified N64 is its best output).

  • Upscaler is the correct term. If you are looking for the best possible image to recreate a CRT, the retrotink 4k is the best option. It will require a good TV though, something like a LG C4. The reason being to get good looking scanlines, you need 4k, 120hz, and vrr.

    The retrotink 4k also supports all your inputs (Xbox 360 HDMI, n64 s-video, snes rgb, PS2 component, etc...).

    Here is a good video why the 120hz is important for recreating the crt feel (a little old and retrotink 4k has only gotten better since then) https://youtu.be/3ZmPkozY6Cg

    You other options for a good scaler are the Morph 4K and the ossc pro. This spreadsheet has a good in depth comparison between all three https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16FBPBD3A1vN_khznTUO1bGrb3LxTIQXfwWfusPeNSsw/edit?usp=drivesdk

  • I go through different switchers to various inputs of the retrotink4k. I avoid composite to keep it simple and get a better picture.

    • Dreamcast -> VGA
    • PS2 -> Component Switcher
    • N64 -> Component Switcher
    • GC -> HDMI GcVideo adapter (forcing 480p through swiss) -> HDMI Switch
    • Nintendo Switch -> HDMI Switch
  • Same, Sapphire is the only GBA cartridge I still own from back then.

  • I'll add it to my list of games to play.

  • Wobbling Pixels put together a good comparison between CE, Morph, and OSSC Pro. According to that sheet dealing with sync, the OSSC has issues with switching resolutions if the aspect ratio is set to 1:1 instead of something like 4:3

  • Ninten-drawer is a modern sliding replacement tray for the NES. It is more reliable than the cheap replacement 72 pin connector and doesn't have a death grip on the cartridge. https://youtu.be/4lpCNMxGW3s

    N64 controller stick modules work by spinning rotary encoders as the stick moves. The stick is and the bowl (typo in title haha) that keeps it in place are made of plastic. Overtime, both the stick and the bowl wear down and get loose. Using a steal bowl with a new stick keeps the original feel with much less grinding.

  • I like to take one step further and use a white pencil eraser followed by IPA. Helps get more of the dirt and oxidation off.

  • What are the odds he even pays out?

  • If they do, are they competitive? Or are they doing the same thing. It could also be like car dealerships in certain states, you're not allowed to just open one within x miles of another (though that refers to more of the same brand). Wouldn't surprise me if they can't have dealerships near each other due to backwards legislation.

  • Exactly why John Deer should not be allowed to do this. Any threat to the food supply should be considered a national security risk.

  • The real question is what other options do farms have? Let's say their tracker breaks down and repair is no longer an option. How many other manufacturers are making the type of equipment they need? And how expensive would it be to enter that market to compete? To me it seems like John Deer has a monopoly and is exploiting it.

  • Wireguard is good if you don't want easy access to notifications or location based automations. Otherwise you need to always make sure the VPN is on.

  • Lots of good info here I'm not going to repeat, but I think if you're going to open home assistant to the public Internet, you should not use duckdns. It's better to get your own domain and set up a reverse proxy to use https. Or if it's too technical, subscribe to nabu casa and let them handle it for you.
