      Im planing to get a Raspberry pi 3 b+ and use it for emulation, I have an old CRT that stills works that uses RCA, So I was thinking to start using it with it to get that retro felling, but i dont really know how to make it works, searched in google and I didnt get any straight answer. My question is: it can be done? wath do I need?

      Sorry if I break any rule and if my english is bad.

        @Deityfierezy The 3B+ model (like all recent models, including the Pi 4) has an 4-pole stereo output and composite video port that you can use directly with a RCA composite cable to connect to the TVs RCA port(s). You can then configure the Pi to output video via the composite video port instead of the HDMI (deafult) by modifying the config.txt file on the SD card.

            Thank you very much!

            Can I ask why you chose the 3b+ and not the 4?

                Also, there aren't that many supported OSes for the 4 yet, both Retropíe and Recalbox will late a lot until it gets supported
