Been playing this. Only 3.99 on the psn store. Much better gameplay than the modern doom. Resident evil 3 demo is out. Pretty good fun |

Yes, Doom 64 is great. I think a lot of people (myself included) didn't bother with it at the time, as they presumed it was going to be yet another inferior console port of an already old game, with some slightly updated sprites. It was only years later that I found it was fundamentally a 'lost' Doom game. I bought a Hori N64 pad just to play it properly. If Corona-induced lack of work carries on, I was going to get my N64 down from the loft for the wife to play. I will fish Doom 64 out at the same, thanks for the reminder! :) |

Bagged doom eternal and got this free, not played it before. Doom eternal is overwhelming but I’ve only played about half an hour. Have got the VR headset out for something to do so might get doom 2016 vr for that |

wow i never considered this to be a thing. i was thinking back in the early 3d fps era there was no way i would prefer any joystick or controller over mouse and keyboard and i still kind of do prefer being able to do a swift mouse swing to scan the area for a huge amount of fps, but i completely forgot that classic doom didnt even use mouse controls. and the id era was right before that. im getting old. 10 years ago i got doom64 from a friend whom i lent my n64 with all my games (about 16 carts) it came back without mariogolf and doom64 instead. sold the doom64 for about 25€ + shipping soon after. cut a similar deal for duke nuke em 64. dont regret both deals. especially not duke nukem 64, cause it was badly cut and didnt have a level editor as the pc version had. |

Should buy it really. I bought all the Dooms on switch. Though I’m terrible at Doom (2016).... gives me motion sickness. And I die. All the time. The new Woolfenstein was better to play. Almost finished that one. Got really far but got lost in the level design and thought ah fuck it. |

from my experience from n64 downwards flatscreens dont do the trick, but maybe you will find settings on the tv that make it worthwhile. picked up a couple of crts from the streets, private ads, and welfare spots (when they still took upon those) now i have like five in the basement and two in the flat. i see maybe 10 crts per year standing on the street waiting for pickup by the junk department. so any time i can i just grab ´em. theyre so gloomy and colorful. perfect for old television shows, cartoons and irreplaceable for 8 to 16-bit era consoles. |

according to digital foundry, they may even be better for modern gaming. Something about high refresh rates and low input lag. I have 100hz Sony CRT. It's the bomb. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also colour reproduction is v good on them afaicr, so colours pop nicely, good contrast ratio |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

yeah stumbled on an article saying its the bomb. what resolution are these though? theyre talking about pc monitors not old tv´s right? tv´s highest res is 576p. used one for gaming in the windows xp era and to watch downloaded tv, which looked great back then but ultimately was rendered obsolete with much higher resolutions being the new standard. i am a bit skeptical playing modern HD resolution games with 16:9 aspect ratio on 4:3 crt´s. dont want to go back to the old narrowed down view of field. refresh rate seems fine on my flatscreens, wouldnt notice any difference anyway since my hardware acceleration is stone age, but i think that was another point they were making, that lower resolution output can focus more on brilliance in color. however woulndt that mean loss of detail an texture? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes I guess the resolution had a limit. But don’t be mistaken (your old monitor was not obsolete), newer games can go pretty low. When Rust got too heavy for my machine, Id play it on the lowest 4:3 aspect ratio to get decent frames. I do have crt monitors, with 1024/768 resolution but the Sony is a TV, which happens to be in 16:9 ! Don’t want to lie to you, but I think it is 480p. No VGA port so Ive yet to plug a pc into it. My sis gave me her old ps2, so been using it for that. So not actually utilising that 100hz. Though I want to see if I can somehow hook a pc up to it with some converter some time. Ill watch that DF video again later to refresh my memory on the benefits |

yaeh, wanna check what they were really on about. common crt monitors are probably easy to come by aswell. dont know if i can make room for yet another monitor though. you can connect a tv with your pc via any video card with composite or s-video output. currently have two connected that way. one i put into a arcade cabinet, the other for watching old tv stuff and dreamcast emulation. however i have windows xp running on both of them. been trying to hook up a windows 7 via numerous cards, adapters and any kind of cable combination. eventually read up into it to find out that effort is mostly useless since any windows os above xp/vista doesnt support crt tv output anymore. then i found some folks been able do accomplish it by a certain hack soft manually adjusting the khz settings of windows. i found that software, but have not been able to get it to work. avoided special scaling adapters cause they cost an arm and a leg and often dont really do what they supposed to, plus every year there seems to be one coming out that is best and i want a permanent and authentic solution. |

N64 controller Pak arrived today. It has the kid's name on it in pen. "Ayani" I hate that kid and the person who didn't advertise this graffiti clearly. Probably one of mermaidman's cousins. Jalakalaka scumbags. |

Ayani is a muslim girl name and it is an Arabic originated name with multiple meanings. Ayani name meaning is politeness and the associated lucky number is 6. Ayani grew up and had 9 kids, all on welfare. Sadly she died of coronavirus in 2020. |

I want to drive win 10 on that crt. Sounds like it’s more complex than I originally anticipated. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah theres cons on every solution. - use win 10 and you will have to either get along well with hacking the os into the right khz and tv detection or buy an expensive converter, - use win xp and some new programs, games or codecs wont be supported anymore, i even had issues trying to log into netflix programmed some retro games for example which use html based engine and i was dire to see how it looks on a crt, but it wont execute on win xp as standalone file. for some quirky reason it functions well if i play it online on the same xp setup and i was happy to see the picture look as great as i hoped. i didnt even bother with multi boot machines, because i dont want to mess up my working pc. think it wouldnt even have space for multiple graphics cards. as you said its complex and i figure there might be more solutions out there if you dig deep enough. all the retro matter is fascinating and i wouldnt ever play a game stretched to the wrong aspect ratio, or something brutal like that but, at some point it just seems sensible to stop looking for perfection. if you got a game thats fun to play, just play and forget about pixel perfect, intended resolutions, rgb over composite and the likes and simply enjoy like your ten years old :) |

oh yeah and steam wont work on xp anymore, it doesnt even start up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't deal with stretch images. I don't mind a black bar, but when it stretches that 4:3 to 16:9 - that's when I opt out. It looks too weird. Strange how even some remasters don't take that into consideration (Looking at you KOTOR). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
best thing to do in that case would be to travel back in time, install all the games and then never connect that computer to the internet ever again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn! that might have actually worked for me, if i had that machine running last year. they cancelled support for xp just recently. probably would have had to block the updates only. |

this seems like an appropriate place to post this i feel for these chaps. i named some track after 'em in 2012 or so, because i thought the place was cool. the name was quite apt at the time -- to get to the store, you had to duck around plaster fun time and some thai restaurant, take the stairs to a basement area and then suddenly it's just nerd chaos. a counter with ancient console carts below the deli glass, banks of PCs, people playing DDR. a fridge full of caffeine that you are supposed to pay for but no one is really watching then they moved to the mall, actually took someone on a first date there. then they moved to a shittier location in the mall. then they moved to... fucking waltham? if waltham is now their only remaining location, and it's closed now, they are probably p. fucked which is sad because if i ever did want to buy an n64 this would be the place to go to avoid fucking ebay |

bet i would have liked that shop bit like akihabara in japan or the electronics district in osaka |

place was kind of hard to leave without buying a game boy pocket for $7 or something |

damn my original reply didnt show up we have a shop called cash generator that sells old ps4s and tvs bit shit!!! we have cex in the uk, think they have that in america that sell second hand games |

came around watching that digital foundry video of control played with a trinitron pc crt. they mentioned the name of that crt and the game so many times it made me wonder if they were just promoting it, with that clever vid assuming it might go viral. tried to remember the time i went from crt to led and that was around the time fallout 3 was out. 1st time i finished it on a crt. it was effing great. then i bought my first led and with the higher resolution of course my pc kinda ached the frames out. edges and polygon structures became more visible. it wasnt a revelation, but even back then i kinda prefered it over the crt, even if the 4:3 glowy crt kind of fit the retro theme of fallout 3, the larger field of view just was still a game changer. and 16:9 pc crt´s are a rare breed and weigh a ton and if it werent for that vid id never even thought about getting one. anyway, conclusion for me is, the vid: 1. is appetizing for better picture quality and performance. 2. makes me sad how bigger and flatter screens still have not lost their flaws (blacks & refresh rate, motion blur) 3. pc crt are not gonna be a long term option even if they may be worthwhile to use em if when they´re around, because no one is gonna stop the future, i dont wanna go back to small over big displays. |

Are you still using that same led? With the exception of the laptop screen in the compaq I bought in 2010, im still using my first 24” samsmgun led monitor bought around 2013. And it holds up, even though the colours are very bland…. Yeh doubt those crts will make a comeback…. These days we’re getting oled or micro-led or whatnot. Prettier, more energy efficient displays… expenny though… I appreciate how cheap u can pick a led up for |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok, my dad gave me his older hp laptop (4:3 - still works, except for the keyboard....) around 2007ish… that might be my first encounter with led…. In case u were wondering! Critical information, I know. |
