My setup is just my US Turboduo with the orange kisado converter.  It's all hooked up to a regular standard TV.  No way I'm I bothering hooking it up to a HDTV.  If I was going to do that I might as well just play Magic Engine on an LCD or something.  It would just be wierd to me.  I like a lot of the other setups people are using.

Just found this beauty a few days ago in a used electronics shop.  29'' Sony Trinitron HD-CRT.  Displays in 720p and 1080i for the 360, and all retro stuff is in beautiful SD.  It will even take RGB directly through the Sony AV-Multi port, I just need to hack togheather some cables when I have more time.  :dance:

I have a region modded Duo R hooked to a 15" Samsung CRT. Its small but the picture looks better on this $100 twirp that it would on %99.9 of all the LCDs ever made so I'm sticking with it. I use one of those ADP extension cables and a CoreGrafx pad, usually.

Same here. I've been using my Turbo Express too since Turbo D fixed the sound for it!

Oops, I forgot about my ol' Express, though mine is sadly still waiting for sound and video cap replacement.

Hookup: Composite Audio/Video cable (Red, White, Yellow cables)
TV: Panasonic Plasma Screen (40", I believe)
Controller: Arcade Pad (It's an RX, after all!)

I love the clarity of the crt monitors/tv's you guys have.  I don't know, but I like the way the scanlines on an sdtv filter the pixels.  That Sony Trinitron is nice!  I had a 17" trinitron for about 10 years.  Those are great monitors.

 My SuperGrafx with the Super CDROM^2 attached. I have it hooked up to a little 20' SDTV. I have a 52" HDTV CRT set in the same room, but it makes the games look all pixelated. No good.

This is my messy setup, cable chaos and all.
Notice the PC Engine Duo sitting nearer than the rest of my systems. That damn controller cable is so short that I got no choice but to bring the Duo closer in. Next purchase -definately a controller extension cable.  lol





Since I only received my Duo only a few days ago, I've not had a chance yet to hook it up for larger screen gaming via my projector.
This is where that will happen.

Just a Duo-R that's a fixer at the moment, controller port needs to be soldered back in line and I need a new RCA AV cable cause the red jack peeled like a Twizzler which means half assed mono sound.

When I use that same cable on the Genesis and Neo Geo, there's no sound period.

 :lol: Yup that's Japan for ya.

That pretty much reflects a japanese gamer's playing space.

I have a white briefcase as my main system, hooked up to a 50" LG plasma. It gives a surprisingly good picture, but the RGB modded engine sat in front of the screen is very blocky through it?



My stick of choice is an imp 328. Bought from ebay boxed, new for £20. Shaped like a Neo stick and surprisingly solid and good quality.



Big screen Sapphire goodness.  :D

I love the way people say "no offense" just before being offensive!  :lol:

None taken though, i had just flipped over from playing the 360 to take those shots, 4:3 is but a button press away.............  :wink:

Actually he was offensive before he said "no offense".  I think you owe him a free dinner as an apology.

I'm not sure that even qualifies as offensive anyway; the image is unarguably distorted and wider than originally intended.  If I were being offensive, I would've added that only a stretched out dirty pirate hooker would play games in a stretched out fashion.  :lol:
