It only looks fantastic because of the video card. play a anything lower than the Saturn and it looks crap. Mega Drive and Super Famicom look God awful on my TV :crying: Why oh why can't why have a real upscaler in TVs???? They can't be that expensive to produce these days.Originally Posted by Segata Sanshiro

Does it have any kind of RGB? Or is that because it's a HD CRT?
Btw anyone who is having diffculty configuring model 2's ini, here is a program that has a gui that fully configures the emu for you http://www.speksnk.org/host/admin/we...tor_v0.0.2.zip
Today I tried Sega Touring Cars on my PC, and it worked perfectly, the only bad thing anout it is that I suck at it, but that is another issue ;), so it seems that it isn't an emulator issue after all.
My PC specs are:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X3 710
Mobo: Asus M3N78-VM
Ram: 4GB DDR2
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+
My E4400 with a 50% overclock, 4GB of RAM and 8800GS runs it fine too.
But yeah, it's hard. :lol: Sega Rally is harder than I remember too!
Anyone having problems with Virtal On? I can only seem to get one action button to work? 360 pad using!
The games were designed for proper steering wheels, it's natural that they're harder with a controller.

I can't even map to a controller in the racers....
It has the Japanese D-Terminals which are basically Component ports. Through the D-Terminal it can show up to 1080i The only thing I have apart from the PC that can get my TV that high is the HD Video Camera. The next best input is S-Video but on this TV that looks far worse than composite for low resolution hardawre. Dreamcast and normally Saturn look great through S-Video but my Mega Drive, Wondermega, Super Famicom look very Bad. THey look much nicer through composite. It's probably the TV though. Victor / JVC aren't the best in the world.

You should look for a nice Sony TV with a Game port as the Playstation like connector is in fact a playstation connector and will do RGB... You should be able to pick one up in Hard Off for less then 10,000 yen...
My Laptop has HDMI out
That would be ideal but I only have room for the 1 TV at the moment. I'm thinking of getting a RGB projector for retro gaming wich I'll set up downstairs in the spair room.

Actually it *IS* RGB. Just look on google for a TV with AV-Multi, and then make an AV-Multi to 21-pin RGB converter. Someone on YJ has started making them now that the Hospice guy quit. Projector Shmojecter.
Thanks for the info there, Gaijin Punch. The problem I face is lack of space for a nice big fat RGB CRT. That's why a RGB projector would be cool. I could set it up on the counter and project it against a flat screen on the wall. At that distance I should be able to get at least a 2 meter wide image. Not the biggest out there but still bigger than most LCD / Plasma screens and just as flat. The best thing is price though. I've seen them from only 20'000 yen for a decent VGA compatible projector.
