I noticed the same difference with my PAL FZ-1 and my NTSC FZ-1, though without any VCD module. NTSC has more washed out colors and sometimes I even see scan lines. I've heard from many people that PAL just got the better colours due to technical reasons of the standard. I assume that this problem d...

Many TVs need to be told if there's a S-Video signal coming in. 2 of my TVs have one AV channel combined for Composite and S-Video, so I can switch between AV 2 and AV 2/s. Using AV2 with S-Video connected causes a black and white picture, since the TVs assumes that a composite cable is connected - ...

Well. technically you would get a RGB signal as well, yes. But... (there's always a but ;) ) The VGA box just converts a given signal into the RGB components, using the information that it gets. Since a less quality-signal means a signal with less picture information, the VGA box just produces a pic...

But it is one of those "what's the point?" projects. Now if it could have a HDD that could be used to imitate the CD drive by mounting images, used never have to worry about scratching a disc again and you'd have the fastest load times possible! Disagreed. With this board you've got the hardware to...

EM-256
Premise 1: The EM-256 is basically just an external storage device, comparable to a battery powered USB stick, with 256 kilobytes of memory. Premise 2: It needs a special driver to be mounted. The driver is content of the Storage Manager program, bundled with the EM-256. Conclusion: With a little m...

Resolution extrapolation
Okay, as far as one can read the 3DO operates internally with a resolution of 320x240, the output signal however is extrapolated to 640x480 by default. My question: Why? What's the advantage in that? I mean if a 320x240 picture gets extrapolated (stretched) by hardware to 640x480 or if the 320x240 g...

Road Rash
Has anyone played Road Rash lately? I havent played it for years now, but since I wanted my new NTSC 3DO to show some graphic muscles, I gave that game another try. Awesome!! Obviously the same engine as Need for Speed, but much faster. This game is hard but addictive. And even the chip generated in...

The NeoGeo was able to display 4096 colors at once, if I recall correctly - and the Saturn...? Hm, I dont know. But, is there really a difference between 16bit color and 24bit? I mean, can one really notice it? By the way: the 3DOs native resolution is 320x240 pixel. That means 76.800 pixels on the ...

My first 3DO I ever had was a Goldstar, bought at eBay.

Though I also have 2 Panasonic controllers. Funny somehow - it seems ...
