You are better off building an HTPC, and using that to run Emulators. |

I have the Genesis 1, and the only inputs I see are RF and maybe S-Video (can't tell for sure with the latter). --- End quote --- That is not S-VHS output but Genesis version of multi-out. --------------------------------- For both (SNES + Genesis) you just need the RGB-scart cable of the console. |

There are some pricey suggestions in here. I didn't notice if you said or not, but does the TV have S-vid? I know a lot of really new TVs don't. If it does, start there since that's about as cheap an option as you can get. I have an S-vid modded SNS-101 and Genesis 3 hooked up to my (now relatively old DLP) and the picture is beyond crystal clear. That said, it really depends on the tele. My Samsung LCD does not get along with the SNES. I get the notorious fuzzy vertical line through the middle of the screen with composite and S-vid. Never tried it with the component modded SNES, but I sold it, so no idea if that would have been better. Point is, you won't know how well your classic systems get along with your modern TV until you hook em up and give em a go. So, plug em up, see what you get, and go from there is what I suggest. edit: there are some really helpful threads on digital press about this sort of thing, often with links to more brand specific forums regarding getting the best picture from classic consoles on new TVs. Might wanna take a look over there to do some research ;) |

My TV is a 40" Element LCD, with 3 HDMI ports and 1 red-white-yellow AV. There's a couple of other red and white ports, but I don't know what they're for. The model number is ELDFW407. |
