Re: CRT issue, what is it happening?

Yours is exaggerated, but I think every CRT does this to some degree near boarders of sharp contrast. If cabling & connection quality have been ruled out, that would make me wonder about TV contrast setting (too high), AGC setting and/or TV age (component wear). I think the "technical"...

Re: My monitor is dying!

What really burns is that I passed on a free Trinitron CRT monitor right before I discovered these issues. I figured "this is nice, but what will I do with it?" D'oh! My brother and I have 3 dead Trinitrons between us. They were awesome while they lasted. Unfortunately they seem prone to ...

Re: My monitor is dying!

I feel your pain! I went through 5 or so CRTs before LCD tech became affordable.
I love computer CRTs, but IME they don't hold up at all. :(

The price/availability is definitely better.
It's getting tough to find 9-pin serial ports on PCs these days, but I guess there are adapters for that situation too. 8)

Re: ?s about N64 Memory Cards

I was actually kind of hoping this thread would be about memory card management. I need a good idea on how to keep up with all my saves. With over 100 games and only 4 memory cards, it is no easy task. haha I wouldn't recommend this to casual N64 fans, but you could hunt down an N64 "Adaptoid&...
