I still have 2 CRT that are set up but I don't use them for gaming. I've been doing everything on the computer for awhile now, including to play CD based console games like for PS1 which I will run through Retroarch. |

I use a 28 inch crt Majority of my consoles are hooked up with RGB scart through a scart switch but I also have a composite switch for consoles such as the nes, N64 and turbografx which would require mods for scart. it's good enough for those for the moment. Switchers are a life changer for me, it was such a hassle to swap cables it's nice to have a setup that's ready to play for all consoles. |

I've everything connected to my 28" Trinitron via S-Video or composite via three Sony SB-V66S (strongly recommended) switches. Here's my current CRT setup (all hooked up to the same TV and ready to be played at anytime): Composite Video: Sega Master System Sega Mega Drive Nintendo Twin Famicom MSX 2 Neo Geo PC Engine Duo-R S-Video: Nintendo 64 Nintendo GameCube Nintendo Super Famicom Sega Saturn 3DO Neo Geo CD VGA: Apple Pippin Sega Dreamcast Component Video: PlayStation 2 Xbox By the way, I don't know what kind of magic NEC did to the PC-Engine Duo-R, but it's composite video looks gorgeous (I don't know if this applies to the Turbografx-16/Turbo Duo though)... |

I have a 26" Sharp CRT TV and still use it from time to time. How my set up is with a Retrotink 2x mini and S-video amplifier, I can play consoles like the SNES, PS2, and N64 on either the CRT or HD TV or both at the same time if I wanted to. I mainly use the CRT for light gun games on NES, SNES, and PS1 and RF only consoles like the Atari 7800. I have a VCR/DVD combo that outputs HDMI so in theory I could have RF games go through that to the HD TV, but I usually have problems getting the signal to display. I have a thing that takes HDMI signals and turns it into Composite video, so if I really wanted to, I could play PS5 games on the CRT :P |
