I must say I love emulation of low res games with no filtering, I absolutely adore running Minish Cap in VBAdvance on my 19" monitor with no filtering, beautiful sharp pixels :)

Considering how old and crappy my tvs are, it's pretty much all composite for me. On all my systems

No hi def tvs, S-video, VGA or anything fancy in my house, but the picture quality I get is enough to enjoy my games

Hopefully, next Xmas I can look into getting a hi def tv though and try some better cable connections for some of my systems. The thought of Dreamcast with VGA on a high def tv makes me drool

I just hooked one of my DCs to my 46" Samsung LCD with VGA and it's pretty sweet.

Most of my stuff is composite. My 360 runs component though not always HD (depends on the tv its on but all my tvs have component) and my saturn runs S video.

I should get component for my ps2 and psp but don't wanna blow 40 bucks on cables for them. When I get a ps3 I intend to get HDMI.
