DVI, but your poll doesn't seem to be very popular... Maybe you should ask what filters peeps use in emulators?

S-video is my favorite at teh moment seeing as I dont have HDTV. I still need a Saturn & Dreamcast S-video cable.

I voted VGA, because that's what I use my dreamcast with. I would use everything on vga if there was a simple solution like the DC has. But as things are, I would use S-video or Component more if all my tvs supported it (but they dont, only one does, and my gamecube uses it).

I'm pretty sure I use S-Video for all my consoles. I'd use Component for my Xbox 360 butit appears to be a pain to set up for some reason (yes, I'm SURE I have a HDTV)

that european thing

Post by arion »

would that be the Scart things ? well i pretty much hate the damn things considering have to plug the Rca from the console (any console at all) and put a scart converter on them and then try to plug it in the tv not only are thes things prone to get disconnected..for some reason they dont connect very well. And its downright annoying to plug them in cus they have to fit just right and sometimes you find yourself in a situation where you cant clearly see what your doing for instance trying to plug a scart without moving the tv.

I hate em cus RCA is so much easyer to plug and use and i really dont see why i must use these blaseted things :P

percentage wise... I use Svid the most as that is the best quality most of my consoles output. Except considering RGB; but I don't have a TV that excepts RGB... only component and HDMI. :(

So tempted to say SCART but I still use RCA for most of my stuff. Except when exporting from the shuttle then it is dvi, vga, composite, or svideo - really whatever the tv or projector will take.
