Yes, but what I meant was the system was never designed for it so those cables simply transmit the composite signal to a scart plug which you could do using a composite to scart adaptor. Besides, both my tv's scart sockets are used and I really don't fancy having to break out the scart switch box I used to use on my old tv, its just so messy. As I've said a few times now the picture quality is superb on my tv, and was just a case of setting it up right in the menu.

Nope they actually do true RGB out. Check http://www.mmmonkey.co.uk/console/sega/md-stereo-scart.htm .

They are Rgb? Through composite? That doesn't make sense? How accurate is that site as it looks slightly er, home made?

It's quite a popular site for various mods from forums like ASSEMbler. From what I can see it uses composite for video sync instead of a dedicated video sync output, although it doesn't have much effect.

FFVIII is certainly worth a bit.

 

[~Divine~Wind~]

aye sold mine a while back for £150

Still got some of the jap figures and I think the Odin GF model in the cupboard somewhere that I bought at the same time.

 

[jojothemonkey69]

thepigf@rmer if your thinking of putting some stuff on the members market please let me know. I'd be interested in some of the SNES stuff.

Thanks

Despite the massive following and huge amount of posts in here retro stuff seems very slow moving on MM

Get some awesome 2D beat 'em ups now.

 

[lakitu]

Not technically retro but still pretty cool.

Yeah the original XBOX is great. You can pick up a console dirt cheap and games aren't expensive either, plus you can mod them really easily so you can copy games to the hard disk and can play classics from last gen in either 480 or 720p by buying a component cable. It's lovely being able to play some of the classic Tony Hawks games in 720p
