Which inputs does each console use?

dunpeal, I have a 4GB slim 360 that I've been using via the VGA cable. So I don't *think* that capability was removed? (I'm not sure if there's newer revisions of the hardware?)

The amstrad Mega-PC absolutely outputs in VGA, which is exactly what I stated.

The famicom titler outputs in s-video, but I probably wouldn't use that to say that the famicom or NES outputs s-video in general.

It's more of a curious footnote than anything.

Why wouldn't you note that a specific model outputs in s-video? I said "certain models of output in VGA, like the amstrad mega-PC"

that is correct

edit: the teradrive also outputs in vga

I uh... said as much kinda? I mean it's interesting to note, sure, but I don't think it really helps if you're just trying to find out what the average console is capable of.

Not that it hurts or anything either...

Well Shit I had no idea this thing even existed!

[noiseredux]

pretty sick, right?

The Amstrad Mega-PC isn't a "model of the Sega Genesis", it's an Amstrad Mega-PC. ApolloBoy probably just read you literally, which would make you wrong on a technicality. But it's no big deal. We're all on the same page now.

Question about the DC then:

Before I used composite (later, S-Video) I bought a RF adapter for it. It didn't need to be modulated, it just plugged in the back of the DC. Sega made an official adapter.

Would you define modulated as anything that needed an adapter, then?

[theclaw]

DC doesn't have RF signals at the AV socket. An adapter is generating them in some way.

We could go all day about that. PSX DVR lacks RGB, or no RF on the Japanese Mega Drive...

The Mega-PC and Teradrive also use a dual-sync monitor since the MD side on both doesn't output 31 KHz VGA. If you used the MD side with a normal PC monitor through VGA, it wouldn't work.
