      4:3 is the way to go for older stuff like this.

      4:3 > 16:9 easy

    Actually would be interested in a device like this for the switch lite. As a broke university student that plays tabletop mode quite often, I don't have a regular switch (or a monitor for that matter), and I often find myself wishing that the screen was bigger when playing text heavy games like Picross. Weird gaming accessories companies/ DIY UA-camrs, do your thing!

    • @sandrock86

      I hated the small screen so now I have 2 switch(es?)

    • @keatsiannightingale
      @keatsiannightingale 2 роки тому +1

      Yes! I completely agree with this comment. To play mario picross I have to increase the screen size (using the home button feature) and lock the screen in a comfortable way, so that I can actually see what I'm doing.

    Regarding the ad (gchd): Why do so many UA-camrs assume you can't connect retro consoles to modern TVs without an HDMI adapter? You still can, it just won't look as pretty. My NES is hooked up to my HDTV right now. No special adapters required.

    • @pwnedd11
      @pwnedd11 2 роки тому

      A lot of newer tvs only accept HDMI input. Now, Idk, with an nes, maybe you're going through coax, right? But Gamecubes and that era of consoles do not have coax out. And they do not have hdmi out. So, you'd need an adapter. But I personally am going the other direction... I have gotten myself used to CRTs again, and it's amazing :) The Final fantasy pixel perfect remasters look unreal on an old sd crt tv. I just have this cheap cable I bought on Amazon that downscales hdmi out to a composite signal. And I've used it on my Wii U to play my Wii games on a CRT, so I don't have to set up my Wii. Anyway... CRTs are amazing once you readjust your eyes. Embrace the blur!

    • @EPS5000
      @EPS5000 2 роки тому

      @@pwnedd11 My TV has 5 HDMI ports and 1 Component/Composite combo port. I don't know of any TVs that only have HDMI ports, not even brand new display models -- I look at the back of them in the stores, they all have composite or component (or combo) ports. Are you sure your "TV" isn't really a computer monitor?

    I remember having one of these things (not as bulky though) for the Game Boy Advance SP and I used it a lot, it was super useful for me to be able to increase the screen (I don't have great eyesight).
    I wish I had something similar for the switch lite, as what you did looks great and functional. To navigate the store or play mario picross, for example, I find myself increasing the screen through the home button feature and locking it in a comfortable way. It helps!

I added battery cells to the inside of the grip with the wires running inside the grip and the module sticking out. And a ten1design to hold my phone above the console. It is atrocious and I love it. I use a neckset when playing to make it even more weird

There just like the Hori Split Pad pros but have Mechanical Buttons, Rumble and Gyro aiming for $48. But there only sold on aliexpress at the moment, and cannot be used wirelessly. Does make me wonder though if the wired adapter for the split pad would work for these to. Anyway love your videos hope to see more of them.
