: Nope... I tried the Averkey 300 Cold though with the RGBS outs and it wasn't all it was cracked out to be... My S-Video on my Vid card looked better on my TV... was a shame.

: However, I did end up picking up a Scan Do Pro scan converter off of Ebay with BNC outputs to Red,Green,Blue,Sync. It is a broadcast quality scan converter, the same one news companies use to show their internet or Doppler radar on your TV.

: The quality is simply amazing. I can not explain in words or pictures how the quality looks on an arcade monitor. You would have to see it in person. I do however have a few pics up of Windows running on my Japanese cabinet with a 29 inch monitor up that I took with my E-10 on the ol'website if you want to check it out.

: Go to the Projects page and then Emulation Station 2.

Been looking around at Scan Converters. Was just about to go MAD trying to figure out how I'd ever get my Wells Gardner U2000 to talk to a video card AT ALL!!! In my research, I've seen your website MadSmurf, and for a few moments, I thought I'd found the perfect product. Then doing some research on the Scan Do's, reality set in. These Scan Do's would be GREAT, but since they are broadcast quality, YOU HAVE TO HAVE $1000 to $5000 to drop on just the scan converter for your project!!! Personally, that'd be more than everything else in my project combined! Yeah, some of these other things like the AVerKey products might not be nearly as clear and defined, but they won't break my budget. I'm only using a standard res monitor anyway! If I wanted to get I higher quality signal, I'd go to one of the higher VGA/SVGA end Wells Gardner monitors that plug right into a video card! You'd spend less for just the monitor, and wouldn't have to buy a scan converter!

So MadSmurf, if you know where I can get a Scan Do for $100-$300, let me know, I'm there. Otherwise, I'll stick with a competent but lower priced scan converter.
