Taylor and I have recommitted to the retro-gaming/retro-computing streams in 2026 because they’re just so much fun, and this one did not disappoint. We do recognize out of the gate this stream has nothing to do with hosting and it’s also ridiculously niche. That said, there is something super fun in geeking out over how to ensure your emulation gaming system (or even the real console) looks […]

Jason WeatherlyThe RetroTINK is now hooked up into the SCART switch along with the capture card on the computer. Switched back over to the JVC TM-H150CG because it's a better CRT than the Sony PVM-2530 and it takes up a bit less space. Still need to arrange the cables a bit, but I think this weekend is gonna be perfect for playing some games.
Okay, the setup is solid now. SCART into the `gscart` switch which splits the output. One goes to the Sony PVM-2530, the other output goes to the RetroTINK 4K. I tried to get the colors to match somewhat on the CRT, but it's a fool's errand to be honest. However, once work is over it'll be time to progress more in FF6.
Took a day to track down an interesting issue: an absolute ton of noise coming out of the `gscart` SCART switch. It was bad going through the RetroTINK 5X and intolerable coming through the RetroTINK 4K. Started with the SNES, swapped out cables and it was still there. Then copied the ROM and save state over to the MiSTer and saw the same exact issue with analog output from the MiSTer.
It was weird because the SNES is RGB modded via Voultar's SNESRGB and should have some absolutely pristine RGB out, and the MiSTer should also have some great RGB output via the Saturn RGB output on the back. However, after some fiddling and upgrading the MiSTer: it was the USB power going to the `gscart` switch.
I was using the USB outputs on the power strip attached to the AV cart. After moving it to a known quality USB power adapter, the noise was gone.
TL,DR: If you have a `gscart` switch, make sure you supply it with some quality power otherwise you're gonna have a bad day.
