Hi all:
I'm planning to build a cabinet for Mame, but I would also like to play console games (like ps2, dc, xbox, ...etc). Before, I was debating whether I should buy a tv with s-video in, or use my old 17" computer monitor... but over last weekend, this is settled. Because my cousin gave me a 21" used monitor to me for free !!! (can't get better than that....
)
So, for Mame, there is no problem...
but if I want to play console game... how can I display it on a computer monitor ?? My co-worker showed me a "redant video converter" (or something like that) on the web... that thing is not even selling in US currency...
I also saw some "upscan converter"... but can't really find any place that sells them and they're VERY expensive.... (the ones I see are like US$200+)
is there a cheaper way to get a general adaptor of some sort that takes composite (yellow, red, white) and output to computer monitor ?? or take s-video as input and output to computer monitor ?? Maybe I'm out of my mind, but if I'm going to spend 200+ on an adaptor, I might as well get a separate tv.....
any advises/comments/pointers is appreciated...
- Henry.
