that's cool I just play it on steam like a normal person I can also play it on any computer because of cloud saves and play it on the go but sure jerk off into your memory card slot or whatever I don't care I hope you paid $300 for a copy of this like the retard you are

>>714225775
Its emulated you poptart

>>714225501 (OP)
FFX sucks. Like 70% of the areas are hallways and the side content is some of the worst in the series.

>>714226136
>pc on crt
wtf how

>>714225501 (OP)
Based, although I wish the international version had the japanese dub as an option

>>714226136
>play on CRT
>use emulator with extremely high input lag
Doesn't matter for FFX but don't play any real games on there.

>>714226478
you may need an account, but cdromance SHOULD have a link to a fanpatched dubbed rom, which is international version with the japanese dialogue

>>714226478
Japanese for FFX isn't a dub since it's the original audio. There are undub mods for every version of the game.

>>714226472
A specific hdmi to component Converter and a fiber optic hdmi cable

>>714226803
crt eliminates the input lag with its motion clarity

>>714226472
I'm not sure what his setup is. It looks like some shitty converter that uses a high resolution desktop on an SD TV giving him a badly blurry and pixelated image. Ideally you want to use crt emudriver and output the native res of the TV

>>714226803
My set up is as minimal lag as i can have it.
I genuinely cannot notice it

>>714226921
pcsx2 itself has a bunch of input lag. Even if your display has 0 lag like a CRT you'll feel the lag on pcsx2 compared to a real ps2

Nice anon, I hate the botched remaster visuals so fucking much

>>714226864
what? no. what an odd thing to lie about.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGVlSl6v_7c

>>714227018
if you have a real ps2 to compare it to it's noticeable. But only with pcsx2 I mean. That setup definitely fucks up the quality based on your desktop pics. That's 1080p or higher squished to 480i

>>714227005
Fuck u, my shit is crystal fuckin clear
Pictures do not do it justice. Mainlt because crts are notoriously hard to get pics of without flickering

>>714225775
The Steam version is dogshit and only lowbrow faggots play it.

>>714227168
No lies in my statement. The original for something isn't a dub. Sorry you're retarded.

>>714227194
Looks like absolute shit anon. You can see all the fucked up artifacts from outputting HD downconverted. You need to output 480i

>>714227005
The biggest loss of using one of these adapters, at least on the one i got is that you can't do 240p.
Other than that, it is as sharp as the snes i got, and arguably a LOT sharper than something like a mega drive.

>>714225775
holy mother of seethe

>>714225775
Destroy zoomers

>>714227326
You are genuinely just being blatantly wrong.
This image im posting looks worse than what i am seeing in real life.
Cameras cannot take pictures of crts well to save their life, you should know this.

>>714227326
You can set these boxes to 640x480, and 720x480 that fits the overscan even better.
But i had the best luck using 1280x960, as it can handle shit like 256x224 without distorting the picture.

>>714227515
It's definitely fucked up because of the downconverting. I use a VGA to component on my crt emudriver setup and it looks perfect. Here's what a real ps2 on crt looks like without weird converting

If PC is so good how come it STILL can't get PS2 and N64 right?

>>714227917
My shit looks clearer than yours

>>714227917
That's how my TV in particular look with the kludge shit i do.
It's basically just 1280x960 with bilinear stretch and a shapen filter.

>>714225775
someone post tidus' face in the remaster

>>714228237
you are blind. the edges are all fucked up and jagged with weird artifacting. My picture isn't less clear you just see the scanlines that close

>>714228237
Look how fucked up the backgrounds look >>714228292
Also much worse than true 240p. You are missing out and can't see the difference because you are coping about your setup.

>>714228432
delusional
mad cause my set up is pimpin, bitching, and dunkin all over your smudgy screen

>>714228665
Kek no I'm not mad about your fucked up setup that downscales. You are coping and being a cunt since you can't see the difference.

>>714228653
It don't look as fucked up on the actual tv because my phone camera is shit.
But yes, it do look worse than actual 240p, i have an snes to compare etc,, but i didn't got a flashcard for it yet.

>>714228765
you cant point out the differences that i cannot just chalk up to cameras being shit at taking pictures of crts
even i can fully admit that some of my pics look bad but its a night and day difference to what it looks like in real life

>>714228882
The backgrounds are smeared to shit and have fucked up pixels from the downscaling. It's right there in the picture if you look at more than the thumbnail and quit being a blind cunt. I was just trying to help you but fuck you, you deserve this garbage.

>>714228972
I'm the one that posted the FF5 pic (not OP), and i was testing some shit and i can assure you that my phone camera is absolute dogshit at this.
You will have to take my word for it, but on the actual screen, these shadows are stippled and i can see the pixels clearly, but as soon i take a picture with it.

That's not how input lag works...

>>714225501 (OP)
Why wouldnt you just use a modified PS2 and run games off the hard drive if you're going to play on a crt?

>>714225501 (OP)
I was thinking about replaying FFX on my modded PS2 and CRT to see if my opinion has changed on it at all, as I didn't really like the game when I played it originally. but I've been so busy with other games like FFT and JSRF(first time ever playing it, fun game if a bit clunky) not pictured is my original xbox which is on a side table next to the TV, and my sega genesis which is sitting in a plastic bin because I don't have an S-video cord for it yet.

>>714226472
This confuses the zoomer

>>714228432
Alright what about ps1? How is this?

>>714225501 (OP)
Me too

Monitoring this thread. Take a pic of cutscene with subtitle and combat UI, if you would be so kind. If they're still readable I think I want to build my own set as well.

>>714226472
On modern GPUs, with some effort and converters. Older CPUs had an S-Video output you could plug into the TV's composite connector, or a VGA-to-component adapter, and get native output.

lmfao

The display is the most trivial aspect when experiencing the "real thing". Choosing CRT is pure masochism at this point and a step in the retro autism direction.
Real console, original system controller and real disc is the real experience.
Grab a GBSC, OSSC Pro or Retrotink (for deinterlacing and scaling... it even comes with scanlines) and plug your console on a oled display for the best response and image quality possible.

>>714234813
looks good, what shader?

>>714226326
>70% of the areas are hallways
You mean like almost every JRPG, including the FF series? "World maps" exist to give the illusion of choice. Every area you visit is 90% hallways.

Personally? This is how I'll be replaying it. Looks just like I 'member it.

>>714227065
>>714229562
pcsx2 has 20 ms input lag, but crt has -30 ms input lag

20 ms - 30 ms = -10 ms

it's simple math, really

>>714225501 (OP)
It’s so cool. I did that recently too, but with a real PS2.

>>714226136
fag, fake soul

>>714238067
crt-guest-advanced-ntsc.slangp with these settings https://pastebin.com/EdSzqw9y
For older gens I prefer shadowMask = "7.000000" but due to scaling issues that I'm to retarded to fix this produces weirdly spaced scanlines at least on 1080p. I also leave out the interm at the end since the default setting is okay for the retro era emulators but if it erroneously gets switched on for LRPS2 or PPSSPP it will just add extra blur

Its fucking embarrassing, makes X look like a fucking joke of a game.

holy shit i love these threads. i now have an excuse to go start from the beginning of a new playthough to experience the game as it was intended. didnt know they ruined it that bad

Squeenix quality control at work. I'm convinced they never saw a single thing and just released it

Can CRT chad post that video of Dota2 on a crt vs lcd.

They're kids. They refuse to think anything different from what they think they "know" could possibly be good. They won't allow themselves to think it's "pretty" or "fun" or "cool." They don't want anyone to think differently.

And, again, they have zero idea what "display" even means, let alone how to organize their devices to account for those differences they hate. And how it results it basically NOTHING erroneous.

They're kids, Anon.
They didn't grow up with anything but iPhones.

>>714242937
I hesitate saying this, but I know it's better that I do; games USED to genuinely be designed with REAL ARTISTS. Nevermind all the arguments about "pixel this" and "resolution that," what you see displayed on your television used to have a much higher artistic standard. People developed games to look presentable. To look like provoking characters. To look like infatuating scenery. And they hired, and paid, people to do it.

So many "re-"whatevers destroy that, and too many people (so desperate to be a part of what made so many games so popular, but where "late" to ever playing) simply cannot notice. And... the result isn't the same anymore. Recognizable to the people who played such originals, but unfathomable to those who didn't.

And 2025's culture is enthralled with screaming and shouting in cowardice rather than try something else.

I found a CRT out on the street 2 years ago. Since its Toshiba im 99% sure usual Toshiba capacitor is at fault for the image issues at the top. But im way too scared to even try to fix it. I'll just get a new CRT eventually

>boomers think this looked good

Shadow Hearts 2 for me tonight.

>>714226136
That's how i play PS2 too. Via component. It's fucking magical.
>>714226472
CRT Emudriver. Download it. It's free.

>>714226907
That will result in absolutely rubbish image quality as well as input lag from all the conversion processes happening.

You need a transcoder to do it properly.

>>714227065
>pcsx2 itself has a bunch of input lag.
That was fixed years ago you donkey. It was an option in the INI file but they've since moved it into the GUI.

Genuinely explain how the resmaster is better in that lulu shot. Its worse in every single way. You do realize ps2 is the left right
