I was told today to take this and throw it in the trash! Now it will become a retro gaming TV!

The VCR in the bottom still works great too! I'm a total noob to this as I've only ever set up emulators on a regular computer. How difficult is it to set up something like a RetroPi? Or is there a better option?
Nice saving a CRT (although interesting picture quality on the other photo).
Grab a Pi 3 or similar that has proper 480i analog output and connect directly to the RCA jack like it is 1993.
The tape I put in to test it is probably from 1993 and not in the best shape but I didn't want to risk one of my good tapes if it decided to eat it lol
I will look up Pi 3 thanks!
The only issue I see you’re gonna have is getting the Pi to output an analog video signal to send to the tv. Otherwise it shouldn’t be much different from any other retropi/emulator setup
I have an adapter on another CRT that does HDMI to coax that I use to stream old SD format shows from a Roku box and it works amazingly well! It even has a little remote you can use to resize the picture!
