240pTestSuite
A homebrew software suite for video game consoles developed to help in the evaluation of upscalers, upscan converters, line doublers and of course TV processing of 240p video. The Wii and Dreamcast versions have modes for 480i and 480p evaluation as well. (by ArtemioUrbina)

What CRT should I buy for the n64?
If I might add: using 240pTestSuite or something similar (there are specific hardwares to output a grid signal and the likes) is a good way to check for convergence issues or bad picture quality overall.

Sony KV-27FS320 pick up
The grid array you’re referring to is the 480p Test Suite and it’s available for several different consoles and Everdrives. There are several different test patterns in the suite that can help adjust the CRT’s geometry. I actually have your exact same model of Sony (love all the inputs) and have the geometry dialed in just right. You’re correct, you will need the original remote to get into the advance menu for geometry adjustment. IMPORTANT - Make sure to write down any numbers BEFORE you make adjustments just in case you need to revert back to them! The internet is your friend here, as there are several guides out there for making these adjustments in these menus. Good luck!

UnleashX skins to calibrate CRT's colors and geometry
I've open [feature request for ogxbox version of 240pTestSuite, but probably won't come in a near future.

could someone help me? i want to calibrate this PV-DF2704 but i cannot find a potentiometer anywhere. is anyone familiar with these?
You need hardware that can run 240p test suite, for example a Wii with homebrew channel or an Everdrive cart for Snes. https://github.com/ArtemioUrbina/240pTestSuite

What are some of your favorite "underdog" consumer CRT's?
You can also affect geometry with thin magnets. My 32AX60 has 4 arrow( ^ ) magnets iirc, which I might adjust slightly. You can use one of the built-in test patterns on Toshiba's service menu(toggle with TV/Video while in Service Menu) while doing this adjusting... like the Toshiba dark background with white lines & dots grid, or the color bar grid in 240p Test Suite https://github.com/ArtemioUrbina/240pTestSuite/blob/master/240psuite/Wii/240pSuite/textures/color_grid.png I think the monoscope & convergence patterns were/are being added too to Wii so those might be better idk. But the color grid works well for adjusting side or corner convergence imo.

Abandoned Panasonic
Here, take a look: https://github.com/ArtemioUrbina/240pTestSuite
- THIS IS IT. This is as good as I can get the geometry as a novice
- Picked up a 27FS170 just to restore it. Pretty damn good geometry for a midrange set.

WiiLink – Japanese Wii channels revived
If anyone is intresting in making homebrew for the Wii: https://github.com/devkitPro/libogc is pretty good. Certainly not as easy as say GBStudio or a game engine but the Wii's graphics being fixed function makes things a lot easier.

How do i copy files to the wii's nand using c++? (homebrew)
The same way as you would with normal files using fopen/fread/fwrite but instead of those you use the isfs_* functions. Check out the isfs header in libogc ( https://github.com/devkitPro/libogc/blob/master/gc/ogc/isfs.h )
What are some alternatives?
