No problem. The S-video with the N64 should look better with the 2x pro but it might not be the best choice for the PS2. A lot of the PS2 library is 480i, which the 2x supports but it uses Bob deinterlacing. The GBScontrol is the best budget option since you can use motion adaptive deinterlacing (it does not support composite or S-video) I have seen some people recommend this pre built version. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804850466089.html

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)

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/superstationᵒⁿᵉ )

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

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 get this is supposed to be a joke but why is it funny?

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.

It’s doubtful any other cores will be present on the 3d, they have posted that it will not support openFPGA.

Or someone looking to buy their first. The user experience (menu wise) on the 4k line is so much nicer than the 5x in my opinion.

Tech support brain completely missed that one lol

The post definitely has a photo.

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.

Depends but a nice condition N64 with the cables and expansion pak is probably about $100 without a controller. If you plan on connecting it to a modern TV, you need a decent scaler that can do Svideo/composite, so another $60 for the RAD2X. You even can complicate it more by throwing in cheaper RGB mods if you have a compatible system but that adds probably around $60 if you can’t do it yourself.

Their price point is very competitive, especially considering its plug and play.

It was probably a disk copier. Here is a video that goes over how those work. https://youtu.be/MP9YR4BXrzA?si=VTgIynQI2fjaXjxE
