I make many of mine. Order $3 Scart cables, cut off the Scart ends, and attach what you need.Quote:

And yes, you never go back. You just can't. :)
Ditto to everything said here.
Make sure to play Contra: Hard Corps on your new setup. It's an absolute joy in RGB.
Where did you get that?!?! I want one.Quote:

I'm happy for you guys :)
Check Wells Gardner. I don't know if that's what he has, but I got a 27 inch multi-sync that sounds quite similar to that from WG.Quote:

Slightly off topic - on older games, specifically alot of genesis and TG-16 stuff there are dark single-line "spaces" between rows of pixels (check the backgrounds in those Phelios shots, for instance). What are those called? Because I loved those things for some reason.
scanlines. I belive when you use the XRGB they are fake "simulated" scanlines. If you hook up RGB straight to a propper 15 hz analogue monitor, you get real scanlines.
Right. XRGB-2 has an option to generate fake scanlines. At first I didn't like them, as they seemed to make the image look darker than it would with real scanlines. However, I later found them to be very preferable to the overly pixelated line-doubled look that low-res games have without them.
