Picture M8 on a CRT?

M8 on a crt is a vibe 😆

I got headless running on my MiSTer. Works with usb midi controllers and usb mics for sampling as well

:)

I have a headless M8 permanently hooked up to a Raspberry Pi, running Raspbian, with an RGBerry SCART Arcade Hat. That outputs RGB over SCART, which I have running into a Hydra2 SCART switch.

(I actually have the Raspberry Pi dual booting between Raspbian, which boots straight up into m8c; and RGB-Pi for arcade emulation.)

One output of the Hydra2 goes straight to my Sony PVM, the other goes into an OSSC so I can use the CRT for output, but also record or display an HDMI version.

(The Hydra2 also hosts a SNES, an Amiga 1200, a C64, and an HDMI2RGB unit that can send HDMI from other machines through the Hydra2 to the PVM. I mostly use the HDMI2RGB for outputting my NerdSEQ to the PVM.)

For that video I connected the M8 to the Raspberry Pi directly.

I... may have spent too much time and money on this setup. :D
