In early 2000ths it was fashionable to have decentralized extensibility that required zero coordination, e.g. Java and XML/XHTML had DNS-based namespaces. Microsoft had a UUID for every atom in the solar system.

And then HTML5 said "there are no namespaces, if you invent a new name, add it to the Wiki". Just like that! And it kinda worked. People do cooperate.

A while back I got a thing that converts HDMI to s-video & I finally tried it out last night. It works! Low-res live action video looks really nice on a CRT.

Emulators look not quite as good as a real s-video console thanks to some image judder. Regardless of image type you also need to fiddle with aspect ratios on whatever software you're using. Despite setting the video out to a 4:3 aspect ratio, everything looked a little horizontally squashed without further adjustment
