You would be able to use either the VGA or DVI port on the back of the XRGB3 to connect to your TV via VGA or DVI to HDMI, VGA is actually the better option since it's an analog connection. There's even a better one named the XRGB- Mini or Framemaster that just came out last year. Here's the review of it with lots of pictures: http://retrogaming.hazard-city.de/framemeister.html To answer your question, if you are willing to spend the money for the best picture out of those systems then yes it's really worth it, the difference between composite and RGB is night and day especially when it comes to modern HDTV's. See for yourself, Emulator vs RGB vs Composite. http://www.chrismcovell.com/gotRGB/screenshots.html And if you decide to buy an XRGB they are avaible on eBay for around $400-$500. Ask for composite up scaling from the NES and S-Video or composite upscaling from the 2600, I couldn't tell you, but if you wanted something to do it, the XRGB would be the upscaler. Oh btw, here's the list of systems you posted and what they are capable of outputting: -NES : Composite (Can be heavily modified for RGB but it's very expensive and not the original PPU) -SNES RGB Native -moded Atari 2600 Composite or S-Video -Sega Genesis RGB Native -Turbo Duo RGB Native (Has To Be Modified to be Routed to the A/V Out Port) -Neo Geo RGB Native -Sega Saturn RGB Native -PS2 RGB Native or YUV (Component Video) This one can go either way since you can switch the video signals on the PS2 menu. Component would be the easiest but RGB would be purest signal. -Dreamcast VGA Native (Get A Dreamcast VGA Box, as long as your TV can display 640x480 then your set, if not just plug it up to the upscaller) |

Yep if you've got the cash, go for a XRGB mini. You also might be able to get a DVDO Edge second hand on eBay for around 300. Cheap options get cheap results, upto how important the end result I'd. If your just looking for "playable" get a RGB to YUV transcoder, feed that to a HD Box Pro scaler then put your TV in gamer mode and call it done. This combo can be paired with a slg3000 (scanline emulator) down the track, good for disguising the slightly noisy upscaling from the HD Box Pro (if your TV has a vga input). The transcoder and HD box should run you about$110 USD plus whatever cabling you need. It's all about how much you want to spend. |

DVDO EDGE all the way -- xrgb's have a lot of problems and are more expensive. I own the DVDO EDGE -- AWESOME DEVICE! |

--- Quote from: Deadpool on September 05, 2012, 09:21:37 PM ---does a composite cable improve ps2 graphics con a 32 lcd tv? --- End quote --- Component cables will dramatically improve clarity and color on progressive scan capable games, and will marginally improve non-progressive scan games (mostly just better color, but maybe a little clearer). Watch out because supposedly PS1 games can't use the component cable at all (I haven't confirmed this myself). A composite cable is the standard yellow cable that comes with the system that yields a fuzzy picture with dull colors that bleed all over the place. |
