watching metaljesus video's while listening to dream theater

BEST DAY EVER!

I, honestly, thought all of your systems were for show, but could plug and play as needed. It was surprised when I peek behind and noticed they were all hooked up. Very cool! I'll use this video as reference when I get my room going.

Thank you so much for making this video! It really helped me to optimize my setup. I had no idea all I need is a simple hdmi converter/switch to upscale my old consoles. Like you, all of my consoles are hooked up to a separate box just to have amazing audio. It always surprises me how many people just play their games and watch tv through the speakers on their tv, it sounds terrible! Again thanks a bunch for the video and keep up the good work.

A little suggestion: set your TV hdmi inputs to PC or game mode (depends on the TV manufacturer) to lower to the minimum possible the latency between your input (the consoles) and the output (the screen rendering). Doing so your gaming experience will improve significantly!

Metal Jesus Rocks. Huge Fan. I ordered the enko products rca to hdmi upscaler that I saw in this video. Received it and hooked it up today. It is great> nes, snes, n64, genesis and dreamcast looked WAY better than hooking up straight rca to my samsung lcd tv. I would recommended to any buyers be prepared to turn down your color because the upscaler boosts color greatly>>I wouldn't have bought it but I trust your recommendations. Keep it up!!

I really love the cleaned up look that RGB SCART gives to so many system. Master System, Genesis, SNES, Saturn, etc.

[jballze]

I absolutely love your videos. Even better is how interactive you are with your viewers. Keep them coming.

Metal Jesus is the all time GOAT for retro gaming.

[JDStoneCreations]

The title and purpose of this video lead me to it (obviously)...
The fact that you have Ayreon's 'Into the Electric Castle' on your iPod made me subscribe :D

[VideogameBucko]

Such a sweet game room don't spoil it with composite rubbish! Get yourself a proper RGB scaler like an XRGB or Opensource Scan Converter.

Metal Jesus you are like the #1 channel I go to for video game advise keep doing what you do

[joewhitlow]

very organized and efficient with all the switchboards. you're taking it seriously professional.

Okay I could really use some help on upscaling or getting my N64, GameCube and PS2 to output or display in 1080p Native Stretched. I just need these systems looking as good as humanly possible. Is modding them to output 1080p the only way? Everytime I see an amazing video that showcases N64 games in high definition with no pixelation and blurriness its always through emulation. I own all of these old consoles and want to play them with the cartridges and with the controllers. Is there any way I can get these game systems displaying legitatmately good displays? I've seen upscalers that apparently do a little improvement but man that shit can still look blocky as hell. Im not sure if its a settings issue or if its truly impossible to get something like Perfect Dark displaying like pc emulation only through the actual console with the actual physical game.

Metal Jesus, thank you for making this vid! I've tried playing my PS2 on my HDTV several times and it looks terrible. Muddy colors and really blurry overall. It made me disappointed I gave away my tube TV. However, I didn't know I could hook a component cable to it until I saw your video. Now the colors are restored and the graphics look better than they ever did on my old CRT. Thank you!

5:00 I spy with my little eye....Shadowrun! ;)

[BeTreyed]

I love that you have Secret of Mana up an going in the intro...this game was my life for 10+ years of my childhood.

[LochSNESmonster]

I really liked this video, (not to say I dont enjoy your other videos) but do more Tech stuff like this!

[KenjiUmino]

I don't just have one mighty game room to rule them all :-) - I split my collection into two rooms - the consoles that have HDMI or at least Component (YPbPr) output are hooked up to a HDTV in the family living room downstairs - that's my PS2 & PS3, and my brothers Wii & Xbox 360.

all older consoles are connected to a SDTV plasma in one of my rooms upstairs - as of now it is PS1, saturn, mega drive and NES.

this room is also the home of my hifi system with tape deck and turntable driving a pair of JBL "control one" speakers and a 15" subwoofer for some more low-end

so basically I'm running a two-TV setup just like you but with each TV in a separate room.
