Powerstrip writeup
exiges:
I'll echo what Hiub1 just said, and thanks guys for the tutorial on "everything you wanted to know about Monitors/TVs + Powerstrip, but were too afraid to ask".
I've got my Radeon 9250 to accept resolutions of 320x240 and similar so most games run sweet in 60hz progressive scan on my old TV (via RGB scart lead)
The only downside I guess, is being a victim of your own success.. in that now the picture is SO pin sharp, each pixel is defined as a square rather than having that blurry/smudginess that makes the games look so authentic.
Hiub1:
What do you mean that the games don't look authentic?

The "sharpness" factor is down to the monitor used more than anything else. If you are outputting 320x240 progressive at 60Hz via an RGB scart you are basically generating a completely authentic game signal image. Using an "old TV" I would imagine is perfect.
If it looks too good then perhaps you are used to 15 year old nearly-knackered arcade monitors!

I sent a mail to Aaron about a month ago describing the problem in detail and included a link to my site with the pictures.
Haven't got a reply. Are there any other alternatives (e.g. PowerMAME)?
