...to impress people from that period with. Challenge: You cannot bring an HDTV or monitor. The console must natively work with the TVs available then and *come with* the necessary cables.

hacked psp, it would surely work with the same outlets
>>
>>342939686

Has to be a console that connects to their TVs, not a handheld.
>>
Was composite even standard in the seventies, wouldn't everything be coaxial?
>>
>>342940104

I don't know, that's something to research before you decide
>>
>>342940104
RCA (composite) was a standard since the 40s, not sure if it was present in consumer TVs. Anyway, at that time TVs usually came with schematics bundled, so you could open a casing and solder the cable directly to the signal lines

Wii U.
>>
>>342939397
3DS or Vita. Home console wouldn't even work.
>>
>>342939978
You could buy cords that plugged PSPs into a TV. I think you could also connect a Dualshock 3 so you basically had a really small Ps1.5.

It would surely wow people from the 70d

all consoles can work natively with black and white tv's if you're creative enough. like pic related, was a bitch to set up but it was fun.

I would probably bring a gamecube with RE4 and Sunshine.
>>
PS4 with PSVR.
>>
>>342941414

That isn't out.

Okay.

I bring videotaping of this and tell them that it's a game for computers and consoles in 2016.

Some sixth-gen console with an RF adapter.
Or an NES just to be a troll.
>>
>>342941093
You can use a PS3 controller? That's awesome.
>>
>>342941292
>chad warden all about CRTs aight?

A gamecube, or better yet, a wii with tons of virtual console and GC games so I'd be able to showcase all the decades of gaming.
>>
>>342939397
A notebook
>>
>>342943062

Seems like the remote would probably wow them

anything that still does composite is trivial to hook up to old tv's, composite was designed to be compatible with b/w tv's after all

composite->vhf rf modulator->balun (coaxial to 2 wire transformer)

The OP says it has to come with it

>>342943828

Does it come with the cable needed to hook up to an old TV?

>>342944063
so the point of this thread is to ask google what was the last console to bundle rf by default?

they sold the sega saturn in some pal countries with rf cables while ps and n64 generally came with composite
>>
>>342944179
Why would it need a cable when it has a screen?
>>

>so the point of this thread is to ask google what was the last console to bundle rf by default?

Not necessarily. Only if that's the one you'd want to show people from 1970.
>>
>>342944445

I don't know but it's a requirement in the OP that whatever you choose must come with compatible cables for old tvs
>>
>>342939397
First time on 4chan? And fuck you faggot I'm bringing my 50 inch tv with a PS4 and Uncharted 4 and Ratchet & Clank PS4.

It needing to come with cables for TVs at the time is such a fucking arbitrary requirement. Makes no fucking sense.

It does work with native TV in that you won't need them as it supplies it's own screen. It's also bundled with all the necessary cables too, because they don't exist.

Hacked PSP it is, boys. OP, you can fuck off now.
>>
I'd bring a PS4 with a pdf on it that explains how HDMI works. That would allow them to reverse engineer the most advanced console at the moment, and advance technology the fastest. Merely bringing a console to wow some plebeians on their shitty CRTs is fucking retarded.

Not true. Most needed an rf adapters. Tv's with rca were expensive
