So I own Retrotink 5x and I'm curious how this would look in 4:3. I know with the retrotink upscaler you can basically upscale to 1080p but force 4:3 aspect ratio. Then from there go to the video wall adapter. My guess is it would just show a lot of blank space on the left or right depending on which player you had. Still would look good but I doubt you'd be able to center it on each screen. Very interesting setup I will definitely have to try making one of these myself one day.
I’m curious too, it does stretch quite a bit just due to the screen sizes. My tvs won’t force 4:3 it would probably look better if it could. I’ll see if I have a tv that could force 4:3.
I did think of that originally but wanted a space to store the controllers under there. It would have been a really good idea though especially at like a tournament where people bring their own controllers to use.
i feel ya, probably didnt have to make that sacrifice though. if anything you could consider mounting the tv higher in the box (less lean down for players at a table), and have that storage still there. really awesome project! i could see all sorts of ways to make this thing a lot more expensive, you probably did right for the first run making it the way you did and having one working
There are a lot of different things you could do, at one point after buying the tvs and most of the items I was like this thing is going to make me miss my rent payment if I keep going haha. LED lights would be cool too.
Amazing. Does the video wall switcher automatically “split” the screens? Or how do you configure that. Sorry I’m having a slow day. I’ve watched through twice and might’ve missed that explanation
You can change how it splits the screens with the remote, I think I show at the end. It can cycle through 2x2 which is for 4 player. 2x1 which will work for top/bottom 2 player splitscreen, and you can also go 4x1 which will just push the whole screen through to every tv, so you can have some options for different games.
@@KurtofTrades ah. I realize now it’s a “video wall converter” as you stated, and not a simple matrix switch. That’s where my brain stopped lol. Thanks! This is so smart. Do you find it cuts the screens pretty cleanly? Cause essentially all it’s doing is dissecting the image across the middle on both axes. Have you noticed any games where it’s a bit off? I’m considering doing this for OG Xbox. Imagine halo ce like this or even co op games!
Dude, this is awesome!!
Battletanx, Diddy Kong Racing, DK64
Duke Nukem: Zero Hour, once you play it you won't be spending as much time with Goldeneye anymore
Haven’t played this one I don’t think, looks good though!
Really cool project!!
Thanks!

consider getting some controller extension cords and then putting port holes in front of the monitors for the controllers maybe?

I think if I did that then I would have made the box a lot smaller

It does cut pretty cleanly, it may take a couple pixels off but nothing too bad. Each tv is a little different.
What hdmi converter? I thought the gbs-c is the closest to no lag would be nice to know its gotten better and cheaper hopefully
It’s a cheaper Amazon one, the links in the description but I didn’t have any input lag with it or the controller.
Perfect Dark
Quake 2, Goldeneye or perfect dark
Don’t think I played much quake 2 I’m going to have to check that one out!
Get yourself an IR repeater so that you don’t have to open the lid to change settings.
Ah interesting, thanks!
Jet Force Gemini
Loved this game, really well made
Starfox
That game aged really well this was probably the first time seeing it in 20 years such a classic
