What's your gaming "set up?"

[grahf]

I'm drooling.  May I ask how much you paid for it?  Was it easy to setup?  I got a new flat panel LCD and a RGB modded Duo R that I would love to connect to it.  This looks like the easiest way to go.

I live in Japan, so It cost me about 31,000 yen. I think exporters are getting around $500 for them though, partly due to the shitty exchange rate right now.
This box is plug and play. Almost zero delay, and it fixes a lot of the quirks that the XRGB-3 has. The guys over at the shmups forums have tested all kinds of systems with it, and it handles pretty much everything fine.

Yeah, the X-RGB Mini ended up taking forever to be released and...there isn't much "mini" about it. The price is...exactly the same as the old one! And since the dollar/yen rate has gotten even worse in the mean time the street price in the US is over $500. Also, no VGA out now.

So...I'm still looking for a good price on a 2 or 2+. I have a friend that is trying to fix the broke-ass 2+ I bought used, but he's a busy guy.

I think they are still selling the XRGB-3 for those folks who want VGA. From what I understand though, the 3 had pretty bad delay when using the DVI output. For that reason, the Mini beats it hands down for modern generic LCD TVs. The picture quality is amazingly good.

I wonder if it would be worth getting it to play turbob on the 55" bravia.

I wonder if it would be worth getting it to play turbob on the 55" bravia.

I'm thinking of maybe getting something similar to play on my 32'' bravia  :-"

...I either need to get a better CRT or do away with it. I'd rather get rid of it since that opens up both room space and interesting possibilities.

[Arkhan]

I have a CRT right next to it with all my ol'school stuff on it.

but I could always just lolxrbrgbrgbrgb instead and remove an entire wall of crap to make room for something else

like a meth lab!

[grahf]

The way I look at it is:   Get a CRT if you have space, and can find a good one. The problem is that they aren't gonna be around forever. Shit is going digital whether people like it or not, so we really need a solution to play our old games on newer TVs. It seems like the XRGB-mini is the first sub-$1000 device that really covers that need. Is it worth it for everyone?  If you can get a nice CRT, f*ck no. If you can't, or are currently playing 240p games on an HDTV, f*ck YES. This thing pisses all over the quality of any built in HDTV scaler out there.

Have I ever told you you're a kickass photographer who has an almost perfect sense of framing a picture? Every time I see your photos its like ;

*ahhhhhhhh...* Total Zen.

You are too kind.

Cables and controllers are a mess the way God intended.



Under the TV is a PS3 that I never use. To the right is a JVC X'EYE.

How often do you use that power glove?  Or is it just for spanking the wife?
