Re: Using PC VGA Monitors for Classic Console Gaming?
Are there still nice upsides to using a good quality VGA monitor compared to CRT TVs and maybe even PVMs? I absolutely think good quality VGA monitors can meet and even exceed PVM quality. Depending on make and model, these where designed to output incredibly high resolution for sharp picture and t...

Re: Optimizing PS2 games to 480p (progressive) and 240p gsm hdtv
Excellent post with lots of detail. Thank you. Some minor clarifications on the terminology: Either deinterlacing them to 240p You can't deinterlace 480i to 240p. Deinterlacing a 480i picture results in a 480p30 picture. Sometimes GSM will make a 480i game look like a 240p game. Line doubling. It wi...

Re: PS2 SATA HDD adapters
That's pretty cool. I doubt there could be any speed improvements, but it's a big deal as far as getting a hard drive goes. PATA drives are getting annoying to buy, SATA drives are super cheap now. They advertise compatibility with 2TB drives as well. My entire PS2 collection would fit on the of th...

Re: The (re)death of SNK?
But look how poorly King of Fighters XII and Samurai Shodown Sen were received. They were poorly received because they were poorly made. Samurai Showdown Sen was average at best, and KOF XII while technically brilliant had a tiny cast of characters (I enjoyed the game quite a bit, but the lack of c...

Re: confess: what classic game have you not played but should
Having only acquired a NES recently, I missed out on most of it's classic games. Metroid, Kid Icarus, Excite Bike, and so many others. (I was a SEGA kid way back when, and too poor to get both consoles). I think the various Mario games are the only ones I've played natively (and years later via Mari...

Re: Advice from Netbook users
My fiance is interested in getting a netbook. Thing is... I've never used one and I'm not sure if it's worth it over a regular laptop. She'll be using it to do word processing/printing, itunes crap, and internet. A netbook sounds perfect for her needs. I've noticed some don't have cdroms. Does this...
