This past weekend, I picked up device called an XRGB-1. This unit takes
your Saturn video
signal and converts into a computer monitor signal. Simply put, you can
plug your Saturn into
a high resolution computer monitor and play with high intensity graphics.
You basically get
to see games as the developers saw them.
I can not describe the improvement but it is very significant! The colors
and detail are amazing.
To top this off, the unit will also do the same for your PSX and Super
Nintendo Let me tell
you, the Super Nintendo had a lot more stuffed into those cartridges than
your TV could ever
display.
The best picture came when I used S-Video cables ( the unit has a regular
video input and
an S-Video input). It comes with several cords to match almost any monitor
setup and a power
supply running at 100V (typical Asian spec.).
The down side is it is expensive. The unit runs over 200 bucks with
shipping but here’s the
catch. Lately, the quality and quantity of games seems to have gone down.
Instead of buying
3 or 4 new games, go back to some of your old favorites and experience them
again. I put
on Lunar, Far East of Eden, Sonic Jam, Daytona, Terra Phantastica, and it
was all new to me
because of the great graphics.
Who had the unit? National Console Support on the web. I don’t know if
they are sold out yet
but it is going to be a hot item. WWW.NCSX.COM.
They tell me you can even plug your VCR video out into this unit. It is
getting wild out there!
