Hey folks.. i haven't been on for a while.. trying to move back to Japan currently! wish me luck...
Deadite - I am really in need of getting a nice JP SCART TV.. will PM you for sure and ask you where to look if I decide to move back. I'm going insane trying to figure out how to play in RGB without one! Look at the pictures I took from my TV screen comparing my current options.
It seems my current option (upscaling via HDMI convertor) not only is losing some black color brightness (pic is too dark), but also is distorting the picture to make Ken look fatter than he is. Not to mention the barely-toleratable screenlag..
I need to learn how to be a electrician magician badass like BlueBeams .... or just get a real JP SCART TV

Nice boxed pickups!
I honestly didn't know the Mega Drive had SCART output without requiring mod! As a long time Mega Drive fan that's big news to me. Kind of a moot point for me personally, because I don't have a SCART capable TV at the moment, but I'd be interested in seeing a comparison between the Wondermega S-Video and the Model 1 RGB output. I'm sure the RGB would be a bit sharper, but practically speaking I don't see how it could that much better than the S-Video I'm getting now, which is just so bright and crisp. But the real deal breaker is the better audio and built in Mega-CD functions, plus the look of the system. Best looking console ever made in my opinion!
You're in Japan right? Getting an RGB TV here is extremely easy. PM me if you want details.
