Indie games are the only thing keeping gaming alive for me, for the most part. All the AAA games I play are older titles. Doing the GTAV story with a trainer has been a pretty fun time lately for me.

Retro emulation here. 40 years of back catalog games to go through.

Haha i recently got $ 120 worth of converters to get HDMI to SCART to play those old games the way they’re meant to be played.

Extra bought a 16:9 Sony Triniton CRT TV for that.

Output to input: MacBook Air M1 - USB-C - HDMI - YPbPr - RGB (or RCA, the three cables) - SCART - TV

I bought a $75 handheld emulator lol. Plays up to some PS2 and fits in my pocket. Micro HDMI out turns it to a console too.

Wait, I just want to make sure I'm getting this. You're going through five converters before plugging into the tv? Counting the computer->USBc as a converter...

Technically yes. In reality it’s just 2 "real" converters who both need their own power supply. Once from digital to HD analogue, and then from that to SD. For input lag, it’s a lot less than the 20 ms of input lag the HDMI 2 input of my Sony Bravia TV.
