Anyone used these before, and can offer any opinions?  THere are no prices so I just emailed to ask for the prices.

Among other things, they have converters for

- Xbox/PSX, PS2, Dreamcast to Jamma
- AV to RGB
- RGB to AV
- PC2Jamma

There is not too much info on their site on any of the items.  Like does the PC2Jamma just amplify the voltage like the J-Pac, or does it also do frequency conversion, or what?

Looks like interesting stuff though...

Bump.

Here is the pricing info gotten from them...

GLS_2001 for Xbox - US$180 per unit
Time Master for Xbox - US$70
PC2JAMMA board - US$19
RGB to Video - US$35

PC2Jamma does no VGA video conversion, so it works similar to the Ultimarc J-Pac unit - you must use an arcadeVGA or the typical DOS/ArcadeOs setup to convert the video signal and THEN turn on your monitor.  Personally I'd go w/ the Ultimarc stuff simply because of the support that you'd get.

The diff between the 2 Xbox converters is that the time master runs in Time Mode only.  IOW, you set it to 99 minutes and it runs for 99 minutes.  At least that is what I gather from reading the info on their site.  I could be mistaken.  THe GLS operates on time mode and a more regular setup.

Looks like the Ultimarc Xbox interface is probably the better bet.

Still, good to know that there are alternatives...
