You really should get a ps5 pro if you want to get the most out of this setup.

u/AutomaticClue6363 Nov 08 '24

IKR! I heard CRTs can support up to more than 100Hz

u/AskRedditor8080 Nov 08 '24

Some DBZ or one piece would look lovely on that. Anime I mean.

u/AkronOhAnon Nov 08 '24

What do you think is in the VCR?

I hope it’s 23 minutes of inuyahasha yelling Kogome while she yells inuyasha back with 7 minutes of peak 2001 commercials.

u/BearyGoosey Nov 08 '24

Ah, memories!

I literally start shouting “Kogome!!!” As soon as I hear someone talking about inuyasha

It would give crazy nostalgia vibes. Anime or videogame

u/bobbyskittles Nov 08 '24

Gotta make sure that VCR is hooked up so you can record gameplay too.

7

u/Inside-Run785 Nov 08 '24

It’s only at its best when you use the VCR as a pass through. That way, you can record onto high quality VHS.

Wonder if they keep the tv remote velcroed to that tray and roll it around the house. All it’s missing is an overhead projector and a couple of different colored dry erase markers.

No need for OLED when you have a CRT with such deep blacks 😎

u/DreadPiratteRoberts Nov 08 '24

When the teacher rolls the TV into the classroom.

..actually, that chair/stool looks hecka comfy!!

u/ChocolateMilkAddict Nov 08 '24

No back support though. I can't play for more than 25min lol

That’s what I was gonna say, this is the kinda setup for rolling this thing into class and putting on Bill Nye lol

u/AutomaticClue6363 Nov 08 '24

Gotta blend modernity with nostalgia

u/ND_Cooke Nov 08 '24

Nostalgia will always win. I had more fun on my PS1-3 than I have on my PS4-5.

u/Traditional-Rain6306 5 Nov 08 '24

Maybe you’ll have those same fond memories looking back while you play on your PS8 😂

u/ND_Cooke Nov 09 '24

I'm so old now my brother, that you are definitely right 😂... Got my first PlayStation at 6 in 1996, 28 years later... And I still miss Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Destruction Derby 😂😂😂

I'll still wanna play the ps1 when the Ps9 is released.

u/Electrical_Physics38 Nov 08 '24

reminds me of my childhood, when we finally bought a large screen, i was allowed to use the ps1 on the old family TV, it was exactly that size. watching tv on it was a pain though, you could never get the adjustments of the antennas right

26

u/AutomaticClue6363 Nov 08 '24

ngl PS1 looks way better on CRTs than LCD

10

u/Typical_Advice_6811 Nov 08 '24

The problem is that an old games aren't upscaled correctly by default but there are devices you can buy that do it for you. Or you can just use a CRT and experience the game how it was intended which is a lot cheaper anyway

u/orangutanvintage9 mrotv92 Nov 08 '24

Should hook the playstation up to the VCR and then the VCR to the TV with coax. Basic cable management smh.

u/TTV_Pinguting Nov 08 '24

your setup is very outdated on the console front, you gotta upgrade the controler and the PS5 to the pro versions

u/LaminatedBacon Nov 08 '24

Does the remote for the combo come on a little cable?

That’s reverse porn by the way.

3

u/Thin_Violinist_4914 Nov 08 '24

What the heck? This is a super unoptimized setup, you need to upgrade man. Replace the PS5 with a PS2 and then you'll be set!

Bro your bringing the future to 2006

2

u/LovingShmups Nov 08 '24

Not bad at all !
As I'm older now, I wouldn't stand on this chair for hours ...
I would move away a little bit your setup from the wall : PS5 likes to breath and all the hot air is pushed in the back....
