![]() ![]() Sometime during this summer while in Phase 2 (when I'm a little more financially stable), I'm planning on moving back out into my own apartment. Not only will this provide living independently, but I'll have my own clean, larger, organized space away from parents where I'll be able to do more nerdy stuff. Fully setup my own video gaming/retro game development/entertainment mancave.Be able to use my Sony Trinitron KX2501-A RGB CRT more regularly.Setup my NeXTCube (NeXTSTEP, Classic Mac OS 9 dual-boot via Darkmatter software).Physical DosBox machine (Windows XP, ME, 3.11, DOS).Connected to appropriate displays via AV appropriate switches. Build and design more circuits, mod/repair more consolesĪlthough this blog ( EagleSoft Labs) is mostly about Indie video game development and other nerdy stuff I blog about, I occasionally post about video game console repairs, mods, or other electronic circuits I assemble.Surface Mount/Through-hole soldering equipment.Use my analog Oscilloscope my regularly.Review video games for my upcoming Nerdology YouTube channel.MIDI piano setup on physical DosBox machine, for gamedev music creation.For quicker testing of ROM hacks on real hardware.Have my workstation laptop in the mancave.Have all of my video gaming memorabilia on display that's been kept in storage. On the topic of video displays, two summers ago, I picked up a high-end, rare, special, Sony KX-2501A CRT. VK-2D/5DX (2m/5m 8 Pin DIN connector) interconnect cable between tuner and TV.Standard 2-wire (+/-) external stereo speakers for audio output.This CRT is known as a "component" TV, not because of YPbPr (Component) AV input, but because it comes in several pieces ("components") that need assembled. Toggle power of CRT from Tuner's power button in a master/slave setupīeing a component CRT, it's quite unique, due to the fact that the user can customize it somewhat (with their own 2-wire ghetto-blaster stereo speakers).Handling of volume settings, RF channels.Think composite equivalent of a modern-day HDMI splitter!.3 Composite inputs (Video 1-3, RCA Red/ White/ Yellow trio). Not only that, but it contains a Sony Trinitron CRT tube, and most importantly, it can support R G B input! Trinitron CRT tubes and R G B inputs are highly coveted items by hardcore retro gamers. ![]() Trinitron CRT tubes are brighter than standard shadow mask CRTs (which lose 80% of their own brightness due to the shadow mask design), reduce moiré effect, and have a unique cylindrical shape. ![]()
