meant to say Recalbox. Batocera doesn't support VGA666 right away iirc.

CRTs have better motion clarity than any "flat display" because of the way it refreshes the image (electron beam). Certain things just look objectively better on a CRT (mostly retro games but also some TV shows if they were released with an interlaced format).
I know well those CRT displays, I repaired enough decades ago. The phosphorescent layer make the image softer, but the quick movements often looks "washed" because this.
Telling a CRT user to switch to a current HD display is like telling someone who plays Doom to upgrade from Win95 to Win11 because Win95 is "outdated" when Windows 11 doesn't even have a DOS mode anymore. Certain things were meant to be used in a certain way.
I have no problem with people who like the CRT displays. And usually isn't a problem to connect a CRT to an old video source (like Doom with Win 95). When you want to connect a CRT to a "new" video source, it's another story. Needs "things" to be able to connect (like that vga666 project - GPIO pins with 6 bit resistive DAC to get some kind of analog RGB), resolution incompatibilities. Usually workaround exists, sometimes good, sometimes barely working...
