I was told today to take this and throw it in the trash! Now it will become a retro gaming TV! (lemmy.world)

The VCR in the bottom still works great too! I'm a total noob to this as I've only ever set up emulators on a regular computer. How difficult is it to set up something like a RetroPi? Or is there a better option?

The only issue I see you’re gonna have is getting the Pi to output an analog video signal to send to the tv. Otherwise it shouldn’t be much different from any other retropi/emulator setup

I have an adapter on another CRT that does HDMI to coax that I use to stream old SD format shows from a Roku box and it works amazingly well! It even has a little remote you can use to resize the picture!
