Yeah, a little extra headroom and future proofing of course, but 8 should be more than enough for any of the retro stuff.

This is the dream folks. As close as you can get to playing all your games on a CRT TV, in your pocket. And a bit of Steam Deck functionality on the side for good measure. Looking forward to doing a deep dive on it asap.

For anyone curious, the Nova’s custom, first-of-its-kind 4:3 120hz OLED screen means you can run black frame insertion and beefy CRT shaders and games up to and beyond PS2 and GCN. @retrogamecorps.com’s latency tests show that its responsiveness is on par with a CRT TV. Insanity.

Good example of why I personally prefer a softer look on a CRT vs a more razor-sharp presentation. Technically there may be more clarity and detail in the sharper image, but the softer pixel blurring results in a picture that’s more easily readable as a whole. Just different flavors though.

aww rawr ugh

I mean there were also lots of European consumer TVs with SCART inputs that were just outputting a composite image. I also know from what I’ve been told that in Japan that most folks were playing on composite as well, even if the capabilities were there for JP21-RGB.

Closer to Independence. Draftcade is still my favorite, but I’ll be stopping my this one regularly as well now. Really nice folks too!

I love Up/Down, but their selection has sadly not been updated in a while and their machines have seen a lot of abuse. The golden years were when they still had Lucky & Wild. Draftcade is my favorite KC arcade personally. 1984 is good, been going for decades, but I’m more into 90s arcade titles.

Don’t believe everything you hear about razor sharp RGB in arcades. I’ve been told by Mortal Kombat devs that they leveraged CRT blending for the title’s visuals. Similarly don’t believe folks who cry “false nostalgia” at pixels, because there are lots of examples of blocky little sprites as well.

Spent some time this week at Rapid Fire Arcade near Kansas City. I always love checking in on how arcade monitors are holding up in real world scenarios. You could tell these folks have taken really great care of their hardware. Only a couple of Madway racers had been sadly swapped to LCDs.

The real issue here is size. Look at this honker compared to my supposedly 20” PVM! Not only is the chassis nearly 23” wide compared to the PVM’s ~17.5”, but the tube itself is at least an inch larger in each direction!
