I’m really glad to find that there’s a decent sized community for this special interest group on the Fediverse! Bravo, glad to be here and counted among these numbers.

When I finish later this summer, I’ll link up some pics (maybe on PixelFed!) but for now, I’m excitedly waiting for some new hardware. Having run a MiSTer for over a year now, it didn’t get much use due to being poorly placed in my house and not getting enough attention. This summer, I’ve made it a priority project and now my kids are enjoying retro Kirby games just as much as the new ones!

Eagerly awaiting (shipment and) delivery of Ironclad+ round seven with accessories, and a wagonload of OEM controllers to use on SNAC. I feel then that my quest to squash lag will be more or less complete from an acquisition standpoint. But the fuller journey is never “over.”

Long term, I either need to hire someone to adjust the yoke on my RGB modded 36" Trinitron or (better) teach me to do it safely. Alternatively I need to find another large set that I can mod and which doesn’t have convergence issues. And eventually, I’m sure FPGA programmers will migrate to a new platform that will need to be explored. :)

    My search terms are typically “tube tv” or “old tv” but I live near a major city so most people know what they’re selling. I’ve done a few gamecube picoboots that are way harder but like I said I might try on my POS sharp tv!

    Thanks for the quick and helpful replies, I hope other people learn things from this thread too!
