I'm really glad to find that there's a decent sized community for this special interest group on the Fediverse! Bravo, glad to be here and counted among these numbers.
When I finish later this summer, I'll link up some pics (maybe on PixelFed!) but for now, I'm excitedly waiting for some new hardware. Having run a MiSTer for over a year now, it didn't get much use due to being poorly placed in my house and not getting enough attention. This summer, I've made it a priority project and now my kids are enjoying retro Kirby games just as much as the new ones!
Eagerly awaiting (shipment and) delivery of Ironclad+ round seven with accessories, and a wagonload of OEM controllers to use on SNAC. I feel then that my quest to squash lag will be more or less complete from an acquisition standpoint. But the fuller journey is never "over."
Long term, I either need to hire someone to adjust the yoke on my RGB modded 36" Trinitron or (better) teach me to do it safely. Alternatively I need to find another large set that I can mod and which doesn't have convergence issues. And eventually, I'm sure FPGA programmers will migrate to a new platform that will need to be explored. :)
You sound super knowledgeable, i can't wait to see the pics when u share them!
No pics of the gaming area yet, but here's an album of the first CRT I modded, a Sony kv-20s90. See another of my comments for some additional detail on this.
The second set (the one I use all the time now) is much cleaner work, but I haven't uploaded an album and may not, because I didn't annotate or rename the pics to describe what each one is showing.
I am NOT a CRT technician, and I have very little background in electronics. It just happens that I've done enough project work to be dangerous and there is enough detail around the Internet to enable tinker hacks like me to be successful.
