MegaNeo AES modifications

Yeah, in the UK you can get a Freeview box for about £30 - £100 and get free digital TV through normal aerial. But you get about 30 channels, all of which are crap.

Otherwise you need Sky/Cable. Then you can get Sky1, Toonami, etc... But UK TV charges are shocking. £120 per yr for TV license, plus £30 per month for cable to have something decent to watch. Shocking. Currently I pay £45 per month for basic cable channels, 600k broadband and phone.

PAL is better than NTSC, by about 100 lines or so. Although NTSC has a faster refresh rate @ 60hz. When a game is given a proper PAL60 conversion, it does kick ass, but RGB Scart is still the way to go.

Composite is the same visual quality as RF, just with the L and R audio channels seperated.

Anyways, back to the NeoGeo. I've been lurking on the Neo furums for the past week or so. What can I say!!!! I though most Neo owners would be around my age (24) or older. And the Neo forums would contain sensible adults discussing the system and games. How wrong was I!!! Most of the users frequenting the Neo forums seem to be asshole kids bitching at each other, calling names, etc. Ppl pretending to be 2 or more ppl, guys pretending to be gals and ppl bitching about selling converted carts. Considering what a high status the Neo holds, not what I expected at all!

 

HAHA, gotta love it

There's plenty to bitch about is why.

What's your username there??

 

Yeah but if you're talking about games, don't most of you play NTSC games anyway?

In a perfect world yes, but unfortunately there is noise and degradation.

Thats not just the Neo forums, thats the entire internet, even people here.

 

Digital TV

All major markets in the US have free OTA digital TV signals as well. Been like that for awhile. You don't have to stick with analog if you don't want to.

Well I think his point is that if done proper a PAL version of a game can be better than its NTSC counterpart - however there's not that many games that get developed for PAL and then converted to NTSC (I think the Wipeout games are).

 

Hmm it seems I've been out of the TV loop
