The RETRO Gaming Thread!

For those with old consoles, is there some sort of adapter y'all use to make the games look good on hdtv's?

Maybe the OP can update the very first post with this information but you'll need an upscaler to convert the 240P images to 480P at the bare minimum. The best 2 are:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marq's OSSC - cheaper than XRGB but only takes in SCART input, component & VGA. Almost lag free design so you only have to deal with the HDTV's input lag. You will have to ensure your consoles have RGB output via SCART (requires modification if they don't natively) and buy separate SCART cables.

XRGB Mini Framemeister - costlier but accepts composite video in, so very easy to get it up and running in minutes with original composite cables (yellow video out). Adds about 1.5 frame of lag on top of the input lag generated by the TV.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are other even cheaper alternatives, this video is quite helpful:

I've played only a few of them when I have time on the weekends. My nephews are the ones who get to enjoy them the most since school is out. I don't have an instagram or Facebook, you guys are the only ones to know about my compulsive behavior

Ya'll remember Jet Moto for the PS1? They need to remake that for the PS4

I played the hell out of the game on one of those ps1 demo discs. I was hooked on that, fighting force, and the tony hawk demo.

Agreed, Jet moto was a good game. I probably rented that one for a few weeks.

The 3DS games are so bad

Older PS3 sports games are tempting tho

They had enchanted arms for PS3..googled some reviews..nope

 

[robpzee612]

I have that game but still haven't played it yet tho lol

yeah...they're not the best games but 4 for 10 isn't a bad deal. I think destiny is one of the ps4 games.

The funny part is that they have a Ps4 with a bunch of games...but they'd rather plays ps1 & ps2 instead!

Those older games are still fun, man. I feel the same way about some of the other sports titles as well and the good thing about it is that they're usually inexpensive.
