I’m catching up on a few updates that have happened over the last couple of months. One of which was the acquisition of a 32inch Sony Trinitron.
This absolute monster weighs in at 65kg, which meant it spent a few weeks in our hallway before finding someone to help me carry it down to its final resting place.
The person I got this from was actually the same person I got the 28inch version from a while back. This one however, is fully working, but with some minor geometry/convergenace issues. I’ve mostly fixed all of these now, with just a small issue in the top right, which I will look to fix with convergence strips when I get a few minutes. For now though, it is hardly noticeable, especially when playing games with a bit of overscan.
The only issue I have now is that both of these Trinitrons are 100Hz models, so the PlayStation 1 Lightguns will no longer work. To get around the loss of Point Blank, I’ve now set up my arcade cabinet to work with my Guncon 2s, which seems to be working great so far.
I’ve yet to try the PS2 lightgun games on this set, but from what I have read, I just need to switch the G-Con2 into 100Hz mode, and it should be good to go. Hopefully, that will be a good experience for playing Time Crisis 2 and Vampire Night again.
