- Checking out some VGA gaming paired with the raspberry pi 4! Playing classics this sharp on a 4:3 monitor kind of blew my mind.

Your channel has potential to become bigger, and I’m subscribing because of it. I’m no psychic (and I don’t believe in that) but I can just see this channel grow if you put your effort and quality on it. I still remember subscribing to other channels that barely had about less than 100 subs years ago; and I subscribed to them because I had a feeling they were going to grow, which they did. Now some of them have literally tens of thousands and some even hundreds of thousands of subscribers.
Wow, honestly thank you so much! That means alot & is very motivating to hear! i def do the same with random channels I find and love supporting the smaller diy operations and seeing where they go, so cool again thank you
Hey, cool vid man. A few questions, did you have better success with the VGA adaptor with or without the power supply? Did you need to configure anything for it to work?
I would say honestly they worked exactly the same for me, it was really which monitor needed which since one already had an output plug and the other needed an input👍 also the only thing I had to configure was setting the output resolution to a 4:3 DMT setting so the monitor would see it but that's it
I wanna use my monitor too, the thing is can I use DVI or VGA but will I be able to listen to sounds or will I need to do something? Thanks. Great video.
You'd have to use some external speakers I plug mine in through the 3.5 jack and you can set the audio to output through there in the audio options of retropie. Thanks!
@@videothumbtveven tho my monitor has speakers?
@gxvault4166 ahh that I'm not too sure about unfortunately, the hdmi to vga should carry audio too I would think but it's not something I've tried
@@videothumbtv thanks!
This is exactly the same method I use...but something feels off about it. I can't quite put my finger on it
Hmm very interesting! I'm curious about some of the vga hats or add on boards for the Pi now, wondering if they offer a more authentic experience 🤔
@@videothumbtv I've got something coming in that I backed on Kickstarter in December. As soon as it arrives I'll try to post a video review
@@RetroCrisis That sounds awesome! I'll be very excited to see that when it drops
Hi I discovered your channel and I really love it GG I had one question, would you please give me the reference of your Dell/Sony 4:3 LCD ? Thank you
Thank you so much & absolutely! The Dell is a X876H 17 inch & the Sony is a SDM-HS73 both look phenomenal in person
how to set step by step?
For this setup it was as easy as using the standard hdmi out plugged into a vga adapter, two kinds depending if your monitor accepts input or already has an output cable in the description, worked for me. Set my resolution beforehand to 640x 480 DMT in raspiconfig display options over standard hdmi connection to a TV then shut down, plugged in the monitor via adapter and both monitors got display on boot at 640×480. I'm sure depending on what you're using you could try other resolutions also. DMT mode is for monitor timings. Hope that helps!
Hi there : which OS are you running on you Pi ?
Hey sorry for the delay! Currently running Raspbian version 10!
@@videothumbtv No problem! Ok thanks, I will try something similar in the coming days. Thanks for answering
retrogaming on lcd? not that good
