I had to get one of these, because Atari was so forward-thinking that its console won't work with a standard RF switch box. Neither my NES or MS ones work because they interfere with the signal (I play those consoles in composite but still have the boxes around). Supposedly, this cancels the interference. I'll know tomorrow because the stupid PO only had 3 employees working the counter and PO boxes today, after a 3-day weekend. They were backed up and couldn't get to the package until after the PO closed. Yay!

Maybe because the standard autoswitching rf box wasn't standard yet?
But that adapter provides a much cleaner signal than the switchbox regardless.
And maybe I'm misreading your post, but that is used in lieu of an RF, not in addition.
It uses a composite cable but connects to the TV's RF input.
The 7800 came out after the NES and around the time of the Master System. You can daisy chain both the NES and MS boxes without problems, but Atari derped it. Everyone else got it right but Atari.
The atari 7800 was developed years before that though.
My wife surprised me yesterday with a copy of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. I immediately ordered a Circle Pad Pro so that I actually have fun with it.
Considering the hardware, it's very pretty! I'm already loving how much quicker and more responsive it is compared to Tri, which was the last game in this series I really got into. Can't wait until the CPP gets here so I can properly dive in.
But IIRC, it was on hold for several years. That would be even worse then, because it would mean Atari released it years later and never made any revisions, despite more advanced competition already being on the market. They'd be both stupid and lazy, as opposed to just stupid. :pQuote:

I thought that was common knowledge concerning the Tramiel years.
the real question is who is playing native Atari 7800 games
Also: it wasn't only on hold, units were manufactured, packaged, and ready to send to retail.
Well, it is backward compatible with the 2600, so it's not bad to keep around as basically a 2600+.Quote:

On topic: Got a XRGB2 yesterday. It's still an amazing piece of hardware.
Yeah, I got it for the BC. I was going to trade for a 2600, but he had a 7800 so I went for that. The 7800's library is small enough to collect for, and there are so many great 2600 games I want to play again.
Btw, Tim, the dude who makes the NESRGB kits is making a RGB kit for the 2600. It's pointless and awesome.
Melf, check your PMs.
I like the 7800. Some nice ports of early arcade games like Robotron, one of the best versions of Ballblazer, and some nice homebrews like Jr. Pac-Man, Beef Drop (Burgertime clone) and Failsafe. The one thing is that 2600 games are darker than on a 2600, so I still keep my 2600 around.
Yard Sale haul:
Boxed set of three Garfield DVDs (Garfield as Himself, Garfield Fantasies, and Garfield Travel Adventures) with various specials like Garfield on the Town for a dollar.
Edge of Tomorrow (All You Need is Kill) novel for 25 cents.
I also ordered Splatoon from Best Buy since I have a five dollar off coupon, but that may be an August haul rather than a July one (though there is a chance it still might come this week).
I got Front Mission Evolved for $2 because sometimes the urge to satisfy curiosity is stronger than the urge to avoid inevitable pain.
I loved my 7800 back in the day. There are some really cool titles that is just so bizarre... Ninja Golf, Desert Falcon, and a pretty cool home port of Food Fight.Quote:

Splatoon just arrived!
Picked up Fatal Fury Battle Archives volume 1 and 2, and... my TV won't display them. Nice work, SNK.
This is why I have my PS2 hooked up to the CRT. I like the inclusion of 240p, but it would have been nice if it supported multiple resolutions.Quote:

What's it doing?Quote:

If there's a way to force the PS2 to boot into a different display mode I haven't found it.
Your tv can't handle 240p from that input. The Capcom collections (except for X) output 480I.
Blame the tv, not SNK. On a crt they would look a lot better than the 480I collections.
There is...I had to boot into alt mode when I had my PS2 hooked up to my little 1080s monitor.
I blame both. Authenticity is cute until it becomes a problem, at least make it optional. Worst case I can just boot the game onto a pc emulator no problem, but so lame.Quote:

Problem is the games boot to the menu at 480 then switch over when you select the game.
Take a walk around your neighborhood the night before trash day. I'd bet you'd find yourself a CRT.
Lame. Might as well emulate off the disc. PCSX2 runs awesome on my machine, I just hate playing games on the PC.
Ah well! Moving on.
Shame, ff archive 2 is my favorite
I didn't even have to leave my apartment to find a Wega just this month!Quote:

I've been trying to find a 27-32 in Wega for laserdisc playing on my local Craigslist and have been coming up empty. Fuckers were all over the place when I was looking for a PVM.
I saw a 32" Wega sitting on a lawn about 2 blocks from my house.Quote:

What a difference 24 hours can make.
I got rid of mine a while ago. No ragrets.
I hate playing games on the computer SO MUCH.Quote:

I still use the 27'' WEGA I bought in 2002. It weighs 230 pounds but games look great on it. If I someday manage to buy a Framemeister and get everything hooked up right, I'll get rid of it.
You might not.
230 lbs aren't going to move itself
You can never hook up a Framemeister right enough to play light gun games.
I don't think it weighs quite that much. I have a 27" Wega right next to my 32" Wega Hi-Scan. The 27" weighs about 85 pounds, while the 32" weighs in at @ 165 pounds.Quote:
