teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[MrFlutterPie]

No pics sadly but today I got my super sexy modded Genesis.

I'm pretty sure it has ever mod done to it possible.  It has built in stereo A/V, S-Video, region mod for European and Jappenense mega drive (widen cart slot of course done very neatly), additional red led on the sides, a light up blue led cart slot and the ability to over clock it to 10 mhz.

I have never seen Genesis games look this good ever!

Truly this is the king of kings of Genesis (genesi?)

Why does the games look better on this than on other genesises?

Why does the games look better on this than on other genesises?

Because it has been modded to accept S-Video output which makes the picture look a lot better than using the RF or A/V.

yeah, but regular genesises are capable of RGB output ex-work, aren't they? so a s-vid mod would clearly be a down-grade in video output quality, since pure RGB is le top of le top (sure the RGB quality still may bit vary on the used circuit & parts etc.)

Yeah, RGB/Scart is the best video quality possible for Sega Genesis.

He's probably like me and doesn't have access to an RGB capable monitor. In my case S-Video would be the best picture possible aside from a full component mod.

This.

I'm running a 27" CRT T.V from the 90's.  S-Video is as best as it gets for me

Fixed that for you. The handle is made of licorice (treacle, as the Japanese call it).

A nice treacle handle.

Anise.

 

HAHAHAHA!

I just got all this for $60.  Good deal?  This will be my third Model 1 Sega CD, hopefully it lasts.

Once you start using S-Video and then in my case RGB on a MD or a SNES, you start to see dithering.  Every one in a while I hook ip these consoles via RF to an old CRT just to see how it used to be.  I can't believe we thought it looked good however the NES has great RF out for some reason (as opposed to say a TG16 or Jaguar which ruined everything.)

[MrFlutterPie]

Yeah once I went S-Video for my turbo there is no going back.  I currently have all my primary systems modded to use S-Video expect for the Neo Geo which I am too scared of shipping off to get modded lol.

The PCB is Virtua Fighter 2

Just do what I did.  Make sure your NEO GEO AES has a sub 100,000 serial number as they have superior RGB.  Purchase a SCART lead.  Purchase a SCART TO Component converter.  Use a headphone jack to Stereo RCA,


There, that simple.  Perfect pure RGB.

Do the same for a Model 1 MD.  However not having Unibios on a NEO GEO is kinda sucky.

Just got this in from the CowBoom console fire sale!

This thing is practically brand new, I can't see a single scratch on any of it considering it was sold as preowned, and all the goodies are packed in there. I think the only thing I'm missing would be baggies for the hardware, but I can live without that
