FS: mini SLG 2X (scanline generator) (Colorado, USA)
joeH:
Crafty, thanks for answering my question. Looking forward to mine.
Another related question, hopefully you or somebody else knows the answer. While I'm going to use this mainly for PC emulation, I also have a Dreamcast and a Saturn I hook up to a 24" monitor via S-Video. Can I buy a S-video to VGA adapter box, connect your SLG, and then run that out to the monitor? I've read conflicting reports, and many say that a CGA to VGA upscaler is needed as the in-between. Problem is that the upscalers take a component input instead of s-video or composite, and I don't think there was a component out made for either the Saturn or Dreamcast.

As long as the end result of the conversion is a standard VGA signal @ 640x480, with a -vsync, then the mini SLG would work. I can't say though if the result would be worth it however, given all the variables between the signal output from the console and the input of the mini SLG. The only console I have tested the mini with is the Xbox 360 @ 1024x768. So I can't recommend the mini for use with any legacy consoles, given a converter of one sort or another would be needed, and the quality of that conversion is a wildcard.
That said, you might want to check out this website with a ton of info about various converters, etc. for getting legacy consoles and hardware to work on modern displays: http://retrogaming.hazard-city.de

Great to hear SouthPaw!
Now I take it you mean the mini SLG makes your LCD without scanlines look like crap? ;)
