Lumstar replied to the thread Did no one ever make 720p TVs?.The shift to HD was odd times. A sub-class of "HD ready" sets weren't actual televisions (they contained no TV tuner or coaxial connector to even plug in an antenna).

Lumstar replied to the thread Have an original playstation (rca cable and multi-av) and want to go HDMI..The AV out is the easy part. PS1, PS2, and PS3 support the same RGB cables. (even in NTSC markets where it saw little use) Except I haven't kept up on what adapter is recommended today.

Lumstar replied to the thread Low-level 3DS emulator 3Beans released alongside setup tutorial video.I have to hope accurate is a priority. Unsightly as it might be, the severe jaggies are inseparable from recreating the experience of playing games on 3DS hardware.

Lumstar replied to the thread Pokemon Platinum PC port gets a surprise release.The game assets are included. Ethically there's no difference between linking to this port, or simply attaching the rom to a post on the forums.
