Dedicated arcades make to sense. I can only see it working in bars, pubs or pizza parlors, where you can play a few rounds with friends while you wait for your food or bored by bloody chit-chat during corporate outings. I spend about 20$ in one go on arcades a few years ago, but it was in a...

I just tried viletim's simplified video amp on X'eye, and it's a success! Here is the amp in case if link don't work: . | +5v . | . | .video | / c .in ---|< . | \ e . NPN | 27 video . +--RRR--- out Output was a bit...

Amazing. That's exactly what I was hoping for. I wish I wasn't so lazy and lame and put my Altera DE1 board to some good use... I may try to use Pinchy's info to make DE1 work as a modchip as an exercise... Even if I can just read the data that goes between main pcb and cd-rom, it'd be very nice.

Irresponsible Captain Tylor is great fun (original series, not the OVSa). Also GunGrave kicks some serious ass.

Wishful thinking on my side, but still... I'm curious if anyone is working on some sort of hardware emulator of Saturn's CD-ROM unit, using a fast PIC and/or FPGA or something. The way I see it, it would connect to main PCB through the flat cable, and serve BIN/CUE image from SD card. May be...

I bought Fallout 3 CE for 360 back in November, and decided to go very conservative on game spending after that. I used to buy 2-3 games a month, but only play most of them for 5 minutes and keep them for later. I accumulated huge number of games over the years, so now, with crisis and all, I...

I modded skeleton. It somewhat works, just like my other Japanese Saturn. If you just put CD in and power it on, it'll give you the color blobs and Audio CD message. If, however, you start the system without CD, wait till it boots and then put CD in, it'll boot and work just fine. It's trash, I...

Good point. You probably reffering to VGA-in, that was avalable on many "HDTV-ready" TVs (pre-HDMI). I still use a 27" Sony CRT SDTV from 2001, so I know little about this. I am not sure how well those inputs perform with classic non-progressive scan RGB devices, such as SEGA Genesis, SNES etc...

In US and Canada, we don't have RGB inputs in our tellies. So S-Video is the only way to go. I have XRGB2+ and cable for Genesis Mk1 and Mk2, as well as SEGA Teradrive PC, that plays Genesis games on VGA monitor natively. But I would'n say it's any better then S-Video on my 27" CRT Sony.

I ordered them for 2$ a piece from my friend in Moscow: www.nedopc.com (WARNING! Russian)

Sorry, will do as soon as I can ;) As a bonus I'll take pics of my Cross Assembler Saturn devkit as well. Thanks

Me too! Ideally full clear DC case.

We just started from the wrong foot. Once I actually got the seller's phone number and had a nice conversation, things got much better. Right now I'm a happy owner of a fully loaded Dreamcast Katana development station 5.24 with Katana SDK 10.1. It's a beauty! Never used. Built to last forever...

You're lucky, I think SEGA switched from Samsung to Sony in 1996, and all you need to do is lift pins 15/16 then solder a 75 Ohm resistance and 220uF capacitor to each, and you have your S-Video.

Hi folks, I had several CXA2075M chips laying around, and I finally decided to give it a try with regular model 2 Genesis, that comes with Samsung chip with no chroma/lumina. I replaced KA2195D with CXA2075M, soldering all the pins except for all marked NC in CXA2075M datasheet and the Y/C pins...
