Re: Composite on modern tv

By the way does anyone have a link to the "RF/Composite to RGB converter" mentioned in this thread? Something like this isn't labeled as such anymore. You'll find them known as an 'ATSC external tuner'. These are actually the same boxes that the government was giving away for free when the whole …

Color quality doesn't get radically better with S-Video... it's still the same PAL or NTSC encoding being done after all. But it definitely gives a sharp and stable image and the jump from composite to S-Video is bigger than S-Video to RGB imo. That interesting to know, and it makes sense since s- …

Be nice everyone! Or else! BTW. In my quest to cheaply and easily make my N64 look decent on my 50" plasma TV, I ended up using a DVD recorder as a bridge between Svideo and Component video (TV doesn't have Svideo). It looks great and seems to do a fine conversion without any extra undesirable …

Re: What is the best C64 Emulator

The best emulator? No emulator--just buy one and hook it up! Lots of retro fun doing it this way. :cool: Some people don't have the space to do that and prices on old Commodore hardware keep going up so it can be a budget buster for some. Have you priced a Commodore 128D lately? They go for more …

Like yours? I could care less for your opinion. You've been attacking me and impolite from your very first post. Obviously you didn't find any help in my suggestions. You have admitted that you are making suggestions on the basis of something you have not personally experienced. Unless you know …

But in the days of video that either came out composite or rf, there wasn't much of a difference. And with modern composite to rf adapters having more applications (like security cameras), quality has become better. Could you pick it apart with a digital probe? Probably. Will you notice it? …

Re: Floppy DOS set to CD

in DOS
The DOS install disks look for the disk label to ID the disks, so it would not be possible using the original installer. You could probably do something with a batch file to expand all of the files to the hard drive and then copy or write the config.sys/autoexec.bat files to the base of the drive. …

I highly doubt security cameras having strictest reqs than a gaming environment. First of all noone cares about image processing lag on a security camera. Sure you can grab some nicely detailed shots of the place you are monitoring but you don't expect a 60fps stream with little to none lag so it …

Yes, you take the red to red (r audio), white to white (l audio), yellow to yellow (video). Then you use the vcr's tuner to select that particular input. The output will be rf on channel 3 or 4. Take that into an rf to RGB component adapter and you should have a fully analog conversion. :blah: I …

Anyone who's into stuff like this should pick up a CRT instead of going for expensive scalers. Nobody wants CRTs nowadays so you can pick them up for free locally, even big ones. Just thinking about the amount of pefectly working CRT TVs/monitors being thrown away in favor of inferior LCDs... It's …

What? Let's try this again: have you actually seen a composite signal (i.e. what comes out of the red, white, and yellow connectors used by a typical older video game console) changed into RF and then changed into RGB component signals on an HD display? (I hope you're not confusing RF with RGB BNC …

Have you actually seen this in action? Security cameras tend to have very different requirements than a console gamer with an HDTV. Yep. There's no HDTV tuners that output vga anymore. Why? Because while an old 1024x768 monitor was being thrown out as a computer and actually made a really nice 720p …

One idea that I used to use back in the day for converting various signals was a VCR with composite inputs. Then the output could be the regular coax on channel 3 or 4. Using a coax to rgb modulator, you can probably get this to work on modern tvs. I suspect that if this produced acceptable output, …

Re: Windows 98SE update list?

Posted on 2013-11-14, 15:31

in Windows
Hi people I'm just wondering if any of you know of a list of updates that Windows Update would apply to a freshly installed Win98SE at the time that WU stopped support for Win98SE? I was hoping that someone had taken the time to do make a list and perhaps even host the updates, but I cannot seem to …

Re: Game launcher/commander like utility for DOS 6.22?

in DOS
I actually made a batch file menu back in the day for launching. I used the idea from the stock menu that was on the computer, an IBM ps/2 30-286 that was part of our Western Union merchant program. I quickly learned how to change the menu as it was just a series of batch files and echos. But since …
