Gaming

If I wanted to play SNES games with my kids—what’s the best set up?

Buy an old SNES on eBay? Analogue Super NT on eBay? Another emulator?

What about games?

Goal is as close to original feel with controllers / playing on a TV.

Nintendo switch - hdmi to RCA Monitor cable- and then look for the oldest 90s tv you can find. 

The switch has SNES games as a bundle basically, but it is like a monthly subscription. 

If you don’t want that, raspberry pi with emulator retropie, and also above set up with hdmi-RCA connector-old tv

Working on Farcaster and Warpcast. Longer thoughts at https://dwr.email

Digital Media Producer. I like particles and waves too. I like art.

Man those old CRT tv’s were good

CRTs don’t have fixed pixels; they use electron beams to paint images, creating a natural blur and blending effect which in turn smooths out the  pixelated graphics, making low-resolution sprites look way softer and more cohesive basically.

And also, the designers who were designing the sprites designed it for those screens, and a bunch of emulators now have scanline effects, and I’m like just cut the middle man, and don’t do that in post, but in tv haha

was coming in to say a much less detailed version of this 🙈

That’s why I should’ve said CRT monitor, RCA is just the cable (radio corporation of America) to carry audio and video signals basically.

heads-up: rca monitors may be harmful to eyes

They also sell SNES retro controllers for the switch direct from nintendo 

And N64!!!

You can buy the official SNES emulator too, but the switch and the controllers is better imo
