Do I just take pictures with a digital camera? Is that what you guys are asking for? |

Your old consoles will not display in 1080i or 1080p. The resolution is determined by the source. Some systems looks crappier than others. I found that my NES, SNES, SMS, and Genesis don't look terrible. However, the N64 GameCube, Jaguar, PS1, Saturn, and DC all look terrible. Classic consoles are better of being played on a CRT. --- End quote --- I think with HDTVs, it's even more important than usual to use the highest quality cables possible. Component, RGB Scart (with a component transcoder), VGA (in the case of the dreamcast), etc. The scalers built into most HDTVs seem to be quite unforgiving when it comes to signal quality. You should be using S-Video at the bare minimum. Personally, I think all of my classic consoles using RGB scart look fantastic on my HDTV. SNES, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, N64 (modded), Sega Master System (Power Base Converter), all look quite nice. Unfortunately it's also why I don't use my NES, since the best it outputs is composite without a difficult mod (which requires some very hard to find parts). |

And what kinf of N64 mod do you have? |

RGB is basically the highest quality video signal you can get out of old game systems, it's practically the native format the systems work with. N64 doesn't normally output RGB, so I modded mine to do so. To use RGB scart in the US, you need a transcoder to convert the signal to component. This is what I do. |
