How to Play Old Consoles on Modern TV's 

@@amberbonner3262 Hes not making fun of millenials, so you used it wrong

Time moves faster now we dont have time to talk slow enough for people to understand gotta go!!

Lol

2X it.

Try connect the Xbox's yellow to TV's green input then set the TV to Video 1 or Video 2 not Component or the picture would be black and white.

How often do you dust around the back of your TV?

Retro Game On I am probably more abnormal than most people I keep my gaming room completely clean..I use blow off dust cans every day when I get home from work all on my desks and behind my TV's..I have to because my cats get up there. But I do normal dusting once a week as well :) I mean a little dust yeah but that was like really thick dust. I wasn't intending my comment to be rude though if it came off rude ;)

I agree that it was pretty dusty in that video. I have actually since dusted behind there, but I'd be lying if I said I did it regularly enough lol.

Retro Game On Haha. Well I moved my TV out last night from the wall where I don't normally..my CRT..because I am thinking about getting a Framemesister..and let me tell you..it was pretty dusty..so I apologize loll

While you're at it clean your NES. lol

You can have my crt.. Lol

I play my Saturn more than my modern pc. It just feels more enjoyable, plus I legitimately prefer classic games.

Infinityeight I can’t even get the color in my N64 and it worked the other day

I have a PS1 and I plugged it in with AV and it looks fine to me on my flatscreen, I’m waiting for my crt tv to arrive so I can see if it’s different

@steven[]seagull Yeah, those "pheripals" are a bitch. lol

I PLUGGED MY N64 INTO MY NEW TCL X6800 TV SET WHERE IT SAYS AV IN. THE TV CAME WITH A SPECIAL PLUG WITH 3 DIFFERENT COLOURED PIN TYPE PLUGS. I GOT THE N64 WORKING THIS WAY BUT THE PICTURE LOOKS MORE BLURRED THAN WHEN I PLUGGED THE N64 INTO AN OLDER TV. SO I DECIDED TO TRY THE SUPER NINTENDO CONSOLE PLUGGED INTO THE NEW TV WHERE IT SAYS AV IN USING THE 3 COLOURED PLUGS AS I MENTIONED WHICH ARE YELLOW WHITE AND RED. WELL I AM NOW SURE THIS TV CAUSES THE SNES CONSOLE GAMES TO LOOK A BIT BLURRED ALSO. SO THIS IS NO GOOD. I WANT TO HOOK UP MY OLD GAMING CONSOLES TO MY NEW TV. I FOUND AN OLD PLUG WHICH WILL PLUG INTO THE AERIAL SECTION OF THIS TV BUT I CANT WORK OUT HOW TO TUNE IT IN. I DID TRY THE AUTO TUNE BUT NOTHING HAPPENED SO I AM YET TO FIND OUT HOW TO GET MY OLD CONSOLES TO WORK ON THIS TV. PERHAPS I LL GET ONE OF THOSE HD CONVERTERS OR TRY AND FIND OUT HOW I CAN POSSIBLY TUNE IN MY SNES AND OTHER OLD CONSOLES USING THE AERIAL TYPE PLUG TO THE TV.....................I MAY REPORT BACK SOME OTHER TIME. AND I WILL NOW GO BACK TO WATCHING THE REST OF THIS DEMO.

@steven[]seagull YES, I AGREE, I PLUGGED MY N64 IN FIRST USING THE 3 COLOURED PINS TO THE AV CHANNEL USING THE ADAPTOR PROVIDED WITH MY TV SET AND IT LOOKS MORE BLURRED THAN ON OLDER TV SETS SO I PLUGGED IN MY SNES CLEAR GAME EQUINOX AND ITS BLURRED. SO IM NOT TOO HAPPY. SO THEN I FOUND A CORD WHICH HAS AN AERIAL TYPE ADAPTOR PLUG SO I PLUGGED MY SNES INTO THE AERIAL SOCKET AND TRIED THE AUTO TUNE IN METHOD AND IT DIDNT TUNE NOTHING IN. I VIEWED ALL THE CHANNELS I CAN FIND INCLUDING THE AV AND HD AND NORMAL TV CHANNELS AND NOTHING HAPPENED. SO I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO TUNE IN MY SNES TO THE TV. I LL TRY AND FIND OUT. I SAW ON ANOTHER VIDEO DEMO TO GET A HD ADAPTOR. I THINK THATS WHAT ITS CALLED. I MIGHT EVEN DO THAT.

No, it's called a RF Switch.

I tried playing smash bros ultimate on it and I was disappointed to find that it didnt work.

*_C L I C K_*

No

@@kc_bandz n

I WOULD NOT BE A VERY HAPPY VEGEMITE IF I BOUGHT THOSE CONVERTERS YOU MENTIONED AND THEY DID NOT WORK ON MY NEW TV SET WITH MY OLD GAMING CONSOLES. I CAN GET MINE WORKING USING THE 3 COLOURED PIN PLUGS INTO THE AV SECTION OF THE TV USING THAT ADAPTOR WHICH CAME WITH THE TV BUT THE PICTURE IS BLURRED.

@@zennabella1676 its disappointing, but I just play it with hdmi on a modern tv as intended.

@@boodro2122 If you want to play your Snes or other old consoles on your tv you should check out the RetroTINK 2X or 2X Pro (which accepts composite, S-video and component YpBpR) or the upcomming RetroTINK 2X Mini (which accepts only composite and s-video), the RT2X series are line doublers which will output 480p/576p (depends on what region you live in) with NO input lag (exept the input lag of your tv) and why 480p? Compatibility. Those devices will solve your problems. Or a Rad2X which extract the RGB or composite (no S-video) signal out of your Snes or whatever multi out Nintendo console you have and output it on a hd tv or 4k tv like the RetroTINK(s) but only if the source supports RGB so no N64 in RGB without modding or NTSC Gamecube which only supports composite and S-video like the N64.

Not after using rewind or fast forward. lol

VCR*

Lol

So... in other words, we’re going backwards 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s 240p that’s why and I think you can set it to 4:3 on the TV

Hate thoes crts make a loyd hissing noise

@@GAIUSJAKE not any just down turn the volume too loud

Slim Shady your grammar is terrible.. also if you turn down the volume nothing happens

F u

About the lowest quality cable "Laughs in rf"

​@@YetAnotherSADXFan A fair point

Same here..am going to use antenna cable..

NWA744 did you get it working yet? Having issues with mine

@@mizt3r_420 MY NEW TV SO FAR WONT TUNE IN WITH MY SNES CONNECTED TO THE AERIAL SOCKET ON THE TV SET. IM NOT SURE WHY. I DID PLUG MY SNES IN AND HAD THE SWITCH ON AND IT JUST DOESNT SEEM TO WANT TO AUTO TUNE IN TO THE TV SET.

Zennabella hey one of those antena to rca

Do you need an actual antenna also connected when connecting via RFU (antenna connection) Plus attempting to retune?

@@roytheboy69 same too

IMPERFECTIONlST did you figure out how to fix this ?

+davidevoid Good call on the upscaling and latency problems, I should have added those to the negatives.

+Retro Game On Yeah, I think it's one of the main issues (although perhaps newer HD TVs don't suffer as much latency??), I guess it's totally fine for games that don't require super precise timing like rhythm games or fighting games.

davidevoid game mode usually fixes latency issues

Well even they don't seem to have help for me. I've patiently been waiting years for a solution to using my N64 on my hd tv withbat the very least some decent quality and nothing seems to work. Keep in mind that I am not very rich so I can't buy another tv at will. I'm still in highschool after all.

@@retrogameon is there any workaround or fix to this issue when using with new TVs?

Pro choice my friend.

Did you ever figure out how to do it? Because I too have a Sony Bravia and it took me a long time but I finally figured it out.

Okay guys, this comment is for the people that have looked at every video, looked at every blog, and have tried everything yourself. This guy kind of almost nails it, but not really. I have a 72 inch(approx) SONY Bravia TV. It really took me forever, but I figured it out, because there is no video that goes over it...and it's a problem you wouldn't think exists, but it does. So most of the time, up until now, my understanding was that a TV's composite/hdmi/component - will either be : 1)Grayed out until something is plugged into it....2) ORR the option won't be there at all, until you plug a console in, and THEN it will reveal itself... well if you're TV is like mine...It's retarded-yes...I said retarded. So, first off...this problem can't be changed unless you have the remote. You have to have the remote to be able to get into the TV's settings (NOT YOUR CABLE PROVIDERS SETTINGS) but the actual TV's setting itself. For some asinine reason, the tv is pre-programmed to HIDE the composite and component inputs, whether or not you have something plugged into it or not. Soo if you have a sony bravia, on the actual remote. Hit the "Home" key...then scroll down til you find "Settings>External Inputs > Manage Inputs...You'll see that most of the inputs are programmed to "Hide"...Simply, switch it to show....and now you should be able to switch over inputs and play your n64....Fucking retarded right? why make it so difficult. There are no videos on this, so I thought I'd explain.

Any CRT is great for retro gaming

Yeah, it would be hard. CRT is now considered as “dead” technology and has been for a while now. Just like the other dude said you could just buy a used one and boom. Pretty good idea though.

bobskie321 I have two starts on a tv

Well I recommend checking out RetroTINK 2X or 2X Pro. Watch My Life In Gaming or RetroRGB on RU-vid if you wanna know more about the RetroTINK 2X

The pound cables are crap they are made poorly and add a ton of input lag

Black Jesus I have the exact same problem!! He mentioned a cable thing at 3:26

jasmine garcia I’ll give you 10 bucks for the component cables

The Carby which is a GC-video hdmi adapter which is a replacement for your component cables that goes into the digital av out of your Gamecube. You can also have a GC-video hdmi adapter from aliexpress for 40 bucks which I heard is also not a bad option

As long as the tv has the red yellow and white components yeah

@@leocruzist I've got it up and going since i asked the question but on an old school tube TV. I even bought a special av to hdmi converter cable and it didnt work so the correct answer is, no. Even if you have the red white and yellow ports.

@@curtbuie4411 glad you got it going. Struggling with mine

@@leocruzist tube TV bro. Got a great one on craigslist for 10 bucks. Works like the old days

If the consoles supports a RGB or a YpBpR signal and you have a component video switch box and a proper way to use it with component video but if not you can't use it and about that av 2 hdmi converter box you are using, it's crap get a RetroTINK 2X or 2X Pro it's WAY better then those av 2 hdmi boxes bc the RetroTINK 2X or 2X Pro is meant for gaming and those av 2 hdmi are meant for video content only not gaming content and with RGB video? I suggest watching My Life In Gaming and RetroRGB on RU-vid for that.

+WindyCornerTV I see. Good to know!

playing on new flat screens is horrible. i cant stand input lag

Exactly

o no

Definitely.

Anthony Walker find SD TV

The way the light gun works, you will need a crt tv

Iirc there was a vc port onto the wii u that utilizes a wiimote as the light gun

A lot of people know these things however a lot also don't. The videos are here if those people need a hand.

ah so more for the kids born after 2000s ?

@@retrogameon anyway, it has better definition on any CRT TV.

girlsdrinkfeck but everybody can plug in a cable, unless it’s rf because some kids can’t do that

All I gotta say Is Plab I do the same and got a component to hdmi for 720 and 1080p and it made no difference.

Flatscreens are not designed for classic consoles.

S a m e

Usually they are just one way so you need av 2 hdmi because your incoming signal is av outgoing to tv it has to be hdmi. You need one of them: www.amazon.de/Neoteck-Konverter-Composite-Metallgehäuse-Spielkonsole-AV-auf-HDMI/dp/B01K7HYLOQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_14?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅZÕÑ&qid=1547028272&sr=8-14&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=av+zu+hdmi

And if you prefer to plug the composite cables first in a scart adapter buy one of these: www.amazon.de/Tiancai-Konverter-Eingang-Ausgang-Composite-s-h/dp/B07CBTC51D/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅZÕÑ&qid=1547028407&sr=8-1-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=scart+zu+hdmi&psc=1 Scart was very popular in europe I don't know where you live.. greetings from germany :)

TVs don't accept 240p they accept 480i or higher resolutions

Just set your sharpness to 50 and you should be good to go that’s what I do with mine otherwise yes the pixels are too sharp

BIT-ISH Bulldog good for you. You want a cookie or something

Shane Daft use it on an old tv

Why has it only been played twice😶

Ridley, aka The cunning god of death it’s been 33 years meaning he was 16

If you didn't fix it already here is how to really repair it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CvCN0Ti6t3E.html I had same problem and this helped me to fix it

Cant get my hd tv to get channel 3 or 4....

I can't get ad ons

Tredon Aldridge You'll either need a composite adapter (if your TV came with one) or a HDMI converter - although this will likely introduce input lag but is better than nothing. Both are explained fully in the video.

Retro Game On I can't get that stuff though

Tredon Aldridge same with me

never mind I looked really hard and saw it lol now I play Simpsons road rage every day!
