Anyone know how this lttle guy works?

 

The problem with a lot of these devices is that instead of just sending a half-frequency mode with proper scanlines, it instead sends a 480-line interlaced mode. End result is a very flickery picture, similar to the problem with a lot of new console games. Alot of my PS2 shmups suffer from this problem - the images are scaled up to hi-res and then interlaced back to the TV. Why the hell developers do that I'll never understand. The game was already in native low-res mode, so why fuck with it and do all this extra processing that just makes it ugly? Idiots!

 

If this Ultracade gizmo has the option to include a "line halver" and send proper low-res progressive modes, it'll be worth the cash. But if it's your average ugly interlacing chip, I'll give it a miss and instead stick to programming my own low-res modes with AdvanceMAME.

 

Plus anyway, an ArcadeVGA is cheaper than this guy.
