What the fuck did the red one do?

was it yellow and red for audio? or was it red and white?

...

>you still use this because its a really good pedometer

Was briefly the coolest kid on the street thanks to this bad boy

what even is that?

I sincerely wish I had kept mine

>tfw no RF switch filters in any emulator ever

...

...

You could beat a person with the rechargeable battery too.

I shocked my older coworkers when I knew what this was. I had to use one to play my Gamecube at my grandparents house on their tiny CRT.

gotta be trolling
Yellow is video
White/Red is L/R audio, because stereo audio signals were analog back then and needed two separate cables for two separate signals

this and pic related will remain the best controllers on the market

...

Nintendo on channel 3, Sega on 4.

who cares lol, hdmi is the land of today my boy, no triple split functionality for us.

Get 2 of them and you can have this.

I remember thinking this looked like the coolest shit as a kid. I'm sure it was nothing but disappointment like the power glove.

Stereo audio needed both
Yellow for video w/r for stereo audio

I used one of these for my SNES. It fucking sucked. Later I found out that the N64 used the same A/V cable and I felt like a retard

>tfw no friends to actually use it with

...

NESTopia has a very customizeable NTSC filter that you can make look extra crappy.

It's just not RF without the color signal randomly dropping out, though.

Red = right audio channel

>tfw trying to set up my ps2
its like tapping into an ancient civilization every time.

i think this is the one i had

...

...

>he doesn't have a CRT with all of his old consoles set up and ready to go

My gamecube + adapter was stolen and I will never recover from the loss

...

In March the ps2 will be old enough to post here.

me too, but different adaptor

Can't wait to call it a newfag and tell it to fuck off back to rebbit.

>PS2
>Ancient

Fuck, I'm getting old.

jesus god forsaken christ

...

Played this with my dad.

>only one more month until I can fuck my ps2
FINALLY
THE TIME HAS COME
AND SO HAVE I

...

...

what happened

Remember how fucked you were if the ball got dirty?

I've still got mine. It's in perfect working order, but with a few scratches on the screen. It's great with the fact that my work requires me to walk 20+ kms a day.

sup nerds

>go to friend's
>he has some performance or shitty brand Sega controller
>"user look at this! It has slow motion it's so cool!"
>endless pause chimes
>controller stops working properly weeks later

someone hipster is going to bring this back and make this popular again in a few years

>you can pay retail price for the sony brand ps2 a/v cable
>or get this piece of shit that gives you a worse result at a 10% lower cost
>but hey, you save a couple bucks

I had a turbo controller with one of those "slow motion" button that repeatedly pressed pause as well. It really was awful, but I guess they get points for effort.

>Local multiplayer died in your lifetime
Gramps was right. Technology is shit and evil.

tossing my shoddy enormous crt is my worst mistake. I swear I could have fixed it with what I know now

so fucked
like, you'd actually have to clean the ball fucked
how awful is that? so much work #iremember #nostalgia #relatable

These things were useless, at least the GBA version was

One of my friends had one, and I remember being so surprised at how many games it was compatible with.

...

...

sega really does what nintendont

This is the only one itt I don't recognize because I never had a Nintendo console after the SNES until last year when I got the Switch. What is it?

...

>tfw threw out my huge point blank box

rumblepack

i never knew how to hook these up and it always took me like 10 minutes to get the combination right

I still have my old off-brand cable that has composite/s-video and three ends for N64, PS1 and Dreamcast. Shit looked crisp on our old crt that had s-video.

Rumble pak for the N64. Worked similar to vibration functions on more recent gen consoles, but a bit weaker.

No you fucking faggot, it ruined the inside too.

I finally made the decision to transition and start HRT. It pissed him off and now he wants nothing to do with me. Its been 3 years since we last talked.

It’s funny looking back, mice used to have a fucking physical rubber ball inside of them to function.
Seems so archaic now.

You cleaned the ball and then you cleaned the rollers. Nothing was ruined.

>the mouseball sticks during UT99 game

FUCK.

I miss them

no it didn't i used to work as a mouse cleaner at geek squad and never had an issue

...

Look at this antique

So you were a ball washer?

nigger how
it's literally just matching 3 colors what the fuck

kys

>tfw whatever mouse I had must've been broken this whole time

i prefer the term ball detailer, people would specifically ask for me by name i did such a good job.

Then there's this fucking nobody

Not RF
Not Composite
Not Component
Something... else

Can you wash my balls :3

composite still looks pretty damn good on a CRT in my opinion, i don't care what the cumguzzling idiots say

I feel bad for your dad.

depends i have a packed schedule how many balls you need detailed?

s-video was p good if you didn't have component (at least for 480i)

Good, you mentally ill degenerate. He should have killed you where you stood. Failed males like you do not deserve to live and that's a fact.

good luck with the suicide

DELET THIS RIGHT FUCKING NOW

S-Video definitely was nice, many of the CRT models I had "capped out" at this technology and it was good at separating colors.

>one friend asks if I'd like his parents old crt that sat in a room unused
>"Sure. I was thinking of hooking up some old games."
>for some reason everyone hears this and starts just giving me crts
>have room with 5 crts on desks and shelves
>have flat crt in game room that was basically new, has component etc.

I have no idea why. I just started taking them and suddenly have lots. If I move I'll regret this.

S-Video, you cockgoblin. It was the best you could get in America for a while in terms of picture.

Composite looks like absolute dogshit no matter what. The only time it's passable is if you're using a B/W monitor and a device set up to output a monochrome signal.

I guess this is nostalgia, but it still takes up space in modern mobos for some reason

I'm so sorry for your dad

really? i built a pc in 2012 and my mobo only had one ps2 port but it was half green and half purple.

...

Well, yes, there's still a legacy option but there is severe doubt you will have both a PS/2 mouse and keyboard. I was so happy the first time I saw a "only one may enter" port because, at last, the incompatibility problems with USB must finally be 99% over.

The set up, the delivery... perfect 10/10 bait
A well earned (You)
