Do you have another one to compare? There are a tons of fake-dualshock3 on the market, or maybe it’s just normal usure on that one.

Runit is softly better but Systemd is perfectly fine. I would prioritize runit on very old hardware.

X360 games tend to be better because PS3’s architecture was a nightmare for developers but as pure hardware PS3 is superior, you can see it on quality PS3 exclusives or in the latest games in that gen, when the Cell processor was well known.

As a gamer it make much sense to collect every good game on blurays but many PS3 titles are just bad X360 ports (Bayonetta, BioShock, etc).

PS3 slim/superslim is good to keep also unmodded, it’s very solid and cheap, BDs are nice to collect and they would need a lot of GBs (I’m always pro piracy btw).

Just keep in mind in that gen many games are better on X360, I collect PS3 games if exclusive or if the port is very comparable.

A X360 is a great console to softmod, equally cheap and it cover all the games with superior version without the need to buy DVDs (a bad format to collect in my opinion).

GunForce (Irem) maybe can fit

Metal Gear Solid?

Darksiders? (Edit) Nah I’m not sure

Real console are perfectly fine if you know what you are doing, also not necessary at all to enjoy a CRT (but suggested).

Just a 14" for 240p games at the moment. I will go for a 20-25“ in the future for 480i.

It’s a nice game for a terribile platform.

It looks interesting, Void is very solid but it miss some package and I’m not a fan of flatpaks, also the focus on KDE is nice.

[edit]

I searched thru packages page: a lot of useful stuff missing

Maybe you’ll find a converter but consider the costs: you can find cheap used VGA monitors, you can also find raspberry/old PC with analog video output.

I’m also a user, it’s arch but more ez intuitive, it also has some popular precomp aur pkg in the repo.

I’ve made a guide for repacks: https://slrpnk.net/post/12840703

This but with 3rd emulators, I found wiiwares not so versatile

14-17 are very good for 240p

Nice furniture

Ty! I’m very happy with this little cheap 14" model, my first CRT in adult age. I’m adjusting the geometry to get the best out from it.

I got used Wii+CRT for less then 35€, and ppl say real retrogaming is expensive 🤣

One more for your face
