SCART is just a meme. S-video looks essentially the same, minus all of the expensive shit you have to buy for SCART.

Im probably going to buy a SuperGun.

Or build one, but there aren't that many tutorials on how to do so.

I got a framemeister a bit ago. Overall pretty pleased with it, though don't expect to use it it 1080p mode and get decent scanlines. 720p seems to work best for that. Also look into getting an Extron switcher from ebay so you can send a signal to both the framemeister as well as a proper crt.

I'm currently looking into getting the SLG 3000 to put in line with my Extron ISM 482 scaler. basically want to feed the scaler 15khz rgbs and output 31khz vga with the scanlines. I want to do this mainly because getting good geometry and linearity seems to be a pain with regular 15khz TVs.

40 dollars tho

>>3394703
It doesn't just look the same, it is the exact same signal. Only difference between S-vid and SCART is the shape of the connections.

>>3394802
That's just plain wrong.

>>3394802
S-cart does audio too though right

Thats always the impression I was under.

thinking about it makes me moist

>>3394047
With 1080p about to be obsolete, have there been any announcements about a 4k Framemeister or a firmware upgrade to allow 4k on current ones (not sure if that's possible with its current hardware since you need at least HDMI 2.0 or better)?

Or at the very least, are there digital scalers that will convert 1080p to 4k without any filtering or noticeable latency?

>>3394863
Please don't buy this. The battery life is shit, it gets hot, development for it is dead.
Honestly it's not that great, I bought it when it was quite new.

>>3394863
I used to have one and I agree with the above statement. But if you can get it for < £20 ($25) then it's pretty decent. The PSP also makes a great emulator box with a little work. I am a fan of the GP32 too if you can pick one up cheap.

Maybe in 5 years.

>>3395546
Well it's already outdated. Surely 1080p content will continue to be produced for a while, but 4k TVs are already replacing 1080 ones in electronics stores.

Saw it somewhere. I guess I'll put together a win98/reactOS system to make use of it.

One of them ARM-pis.

Probably something available locally. I'm hoping for one with
-VGA
-S-video
-at least a 1ghz A9
-a stronger GPU
or
-SATA

And then I'll see what I can do with it.

>>3394863
I wish they just made one with a modern CPU, which I guess would be a 1.4ghz A7, single or dual?

I want a Dreamcast.

>>3395551
The thing is that 1080p looks fantastic on a 4k television regardless (I have a quite good set myself) and that resolution isn't going to be dropped near anytime soon.

Probably one of these. I suppose I'll use it for SNES games with a Pi, and maybe CPS1&2.

>>3394802
Are you trolling or are you honestly that fucking retarded?

Getting an AV cable switchboard for SNES, N64, and Gamecube

BUT I'm also gonna get a couple games. Preferably for the SNES, but I'd take an N64 suggestion too, but I think I have most of the good N64 games.

WHAT DO I BUY? I have amazon prime so I can get these fuckers by Tuesday, but I don't know what to get.

Last week I got Turtles in Time and Killer Instinct. I don't have Link to the Past. Should I get that?

Please help and please respond bros.

just waiting for these to come in the mail. Someone was selling a 2 slot mvs and the cab for $750 1 hour away from my house. I found the post a day too late unfortunately.

NESRGB

>>3395546
I like RGB as much as the next guy but there really isnt a staggering difference between s-video and RGB. I probably honestly couldnt tell the difference between s-video and RGB on my PVM. Ive used both.

>>3395048
well... found one for hundred euros and thought about buying it... for 20-40 euro it would be a no brainer for me... its so fucking expensive... :-(

>>3394047
I just can't justify that amount of money. At the end of the day it's still nowhere near the visual quality of emulation. There's nothing wrong with a ~$10 S-video cable.

But I can justify this. Already bought an ED64 which is cool as fuck.

Mac G4 MDD + Radeon 9250 (and maybe SATA controller + SSD) and MorphOS for Amiga and MacOS 9 goodness.

Gamecube to N64 controller converter so I can play N64 games with my Wavebird controller.

IIyama Vision Master Pro 514 monitor coz it looks like a kick ass monitor.

>>3396046
In my personal opinion s-video looks washed out, it's a great clear signal but the colors just don't pop. I think for early 3d games it looks okay, but snes and Saturn games have such distinctive palettes that just don't look as nice as they should.

I don't think I'm going to get all (or any) from this place but it's a good way to display my wishlist and compare prices I find elsewhere.

The only games I really, truly want on the list are the two Kirby games because they don't play nicely with flashcarts. The others are would be nice, but I'm still on the fence.

I was going to add Dracula XX but holy fucking christ it's expensive.

>>3396158
what is that website you're using?

Obviously there will be other places that have better deals but I've found that it's a decent benchmark, and the condition descriptions are accurate.

Cool thread. Just got these but then had to take a trip for work, so I haven't even taking it out the box yet.

I'm thinking another gen 5 console or a dreamcast next

How do you even know he intended to use it for that? I don't very often on mine. I just didn't want a CRT; I wanted to be able to play ALL my consoles on a single, modern TV. The Framemister kicksass for that.

As for my next buy, looking for region free Sega Saturns.

>>3394047

What's the point when they're still lag? Albeit very minor it makes the entire device utterly useless.

>>3394047
One of these. It's been hard trying to find one that works... I just bought one and it doesn't load games. Fuck Craigslist

>>3396680

Probably a flash cart for the NES. Is the Everdrive still the best one and are the Chinese knockoffs still horrid?

Network television is barely at 1080p and a lot of stuff is still broadcast on SD.

1080p isn't going anywhere. Almost obsolete? Do you know how long these things last?

>>3396641
OP here,

I'm the same, I don't have the space for a CRT and I want to play all my games on my lcd. Having scanlines is just a bonus that I can turn on and off, but it's not why I'm buying it.

is gba allowed to be discussed on /vr/?
if so
>sigma star saga
>drill dozer
>invader
>starfy 1-3
are all on my list to buy soon.

gonna go check out the new game store that just opened up in my town tomorrow and see if they've got a decent selection of older stuff, specifically gb/gbc.
if they dont have a decent selection i'll go to my regular gamestore which is about twenty five minutes away, they've usually got a good selection of boxed gb/gbc/gba games, and i've just recently started getting into collection for those.

Looks like a raid array via flash drive

but for what purpose?

>>3396046
>there really isnt a staggering difference between s-video and RGB.
If you're blind, sure.

>>3397464
That seems unlikely or stupid as they all share the same usb hub. Maybe that's the point of he pic and why it ranked high enough in google search for op to post.

>>3394047
I bought one of those even though I have a good CRT. I bring it over friends' houses to play multiplayer shit, but I hardly use it. My original concern was that my CRT was trash, so I might switch over to my LCD for my retro systems, but I fixed my CRT relatively easily.

Regardless, it's still a good purchase. People will shit on it because there are other upscalers available, but this one is specifically designed for gaming, and the ability to upload various gaming presets for different systems is nice.
