      Hi everyone!

      My first post here, so welcome to me! :)

      This is not an actual help request so i wasn't sure to post it here, anyway...
      I'm going to setup Retropie on a RP3 Model B and in order to mantain it very "retro" i'm planning to use it on a 1701 CRT monitor from Commodore. Since the majority of the games from the 8/16 bit generetation take the most of the CRT scanline system I think that should be a good choice isn't it?

      Well my question is if any of you got similar experiences (should be the same of using an old CRT television i think).

      I think that the ncurses configuration screens could be a bit unreadble (i've already tried that monitor on a framebuffer console under linux) but for the rest it should be fine, don't you think?

      Well i would like to know your opinions, otherwise i should buy an HDMI > VGA converter to use a regular lcd monitor (i don't have any HD input devices to use).

      What do you think about this?

      Thanks in advance.
