It’s been a long time since I posted on this blog, I’m too lazy you see, but I just got some new stuff through the post which I think people will be interested in:
RGB SCART -> COMPONENT CONVERTER
On the left of this pic is a QED QCV RGB SCART TO COMPONENT CONVERTER, it’s quite a mouthful I know but this thing is the business. It basically takes an RGB signal from any device with an RGB output (retro consoles, set top boxes, DVD players) and converts it to a component signal which you can use on your HDTV without blowing the picture up so it’s all shitty. What you end up with is a super crisp, perfectly coloured image that looks as good as your gunna get off a HDTV.
I heartly recommend this to retro game players but a word of warning, this does not handle audio, meaning you need RGB cables with separate audio lines or an adapter placed before the converter. Now I don’t know the fine details of this device but the best thing to do is watch this guy’s videos on youtube, they are the reason I got the converter, and he explains it all beautifully CLICK HERE
JAPANESE MEMORY CARTRIDGE (Sega Saturn)
I bought this beauty straight off of eBay ready for the Sega Saturn I don’t yet own. I plan on getting a gorgeous white japanese Sega Saturn from the guys at Console Passion as they mod the fuck out of anything with 4 bit of processing power and over. This cartridge in particular is essentially a memory card, it sits in the back of the Sega Saturn and lets you save a vast amount of save files onto it, essentially keeping them much safer than the awful inbuilt memory in the Saturn itself. This one was part of a bundle with a game in japan, I can’t remember what the game is called but it looks VERY japanese. Hopefully this will work once I finally get the actual console…
