Does anybody here have any experience with this? I've been reading the CRT threads on 4chan's retro gaming board for quite some time, and because of this I decided to pick up a secondhand CRT TV a little bit less than a year ago. It has component inputs, and I've been able to get 240p output on it with my PS2 and my Wii, but I'd like to be able to hook up a PC so that I can use it with programs like Higan, Mednafen, and Retroarch. I know that a fair number of older graphics cards were able to output 480i over S-video and composite, but that's not exactly what I'm looking to do. Rather, I'm looking to use CRT_EmuDriver or Soft15khz to output a 15KHz 240p signal over VGA, which I'll then connect to this TV through its component inputs.
What hardware do I need to accomplish all this? Can I use such a setup with any emulator I throw at it, or does it have to be a program made specifically to work with CRT_EmuDriver or Soft15KHz? I'm a complete neophyte when it comes to this stuff, and all the information I'm finding online is making my head spin. Not to mention, most of the information that's out there seems to be suited towards RGB arcade displays and emulators like MAME. While I might try MAME out with this at some point, I'm much more interested in emulating systems like the PS1, SNES, and Genesis/Megadrive on a CRT TV.
