Topics I've Started

Recording game footage

Fri Sep 2, 2011 9:01 AM

As the topic states, I'm looking into eventually doing game recording of some kind for my various systems (Ataris, ST, Coleco, Intellivision, NES, SMS, Amiga, etc). As the topic states, I'll be using the various passthrus of my NEC XM-29 Plus to do so. Here's where things get rather confusing:

Quite a few of my systems support RGB output, and some (like my Amiga) support multiple low/mid-res settings. I have also contemplated building a supergun to use on the monitor to try and record arcade games. For those, my concerns are mainly with the mid-res games.

Does anyone have a solution for capturing the RGB pass-thru from my monitor?

Colecovision buzzing RF on Sharp television.

So, friend of mine gave me an old Sharp "Linytron" CRT television, and hooked up my Coleco for a round or three of Defender. Picture and sound from it were ok, but if I connected something else like my 5200's RF switch as the first device, the Coleco would buzz incessantly. Is it possible something inside the RF plug is going bad? (Yes, I know I need to get it refurbished and have the full A/V mod done soon.)

WTB - Genesis1/SMS RGB Cable

Sun Jul 17, 2011 7:14 PM

As the title says, I would like to buy one for the monitor mentioned. Tried hooking it up via composite (using the BNC adapter), and the composite signal is so weak it won't even show. If possible, I do need to get it by next Wed. PM me as soon as possible if someone can make such a cable.

Almost no sound from NEC XM29 Plus

Fri Jul 15, 2011 10:01 AM

As it says, for some reason the internal speakers and my external bookshelves (connected via the speaker terminals in the back) produce no audio. Using the RCA pass-thru does (although it's a big too loud). Anyone else that's used the XM29 series that might have an inkling of what's wrong?

Changing out the 7800 Pause Button

Mon Jul 4, 2011 10:42 AM

So, does anyone know what would be the appropriate button to swap out for the standard pause button on an Atari 7800? As the topic suggests, I want to be able to pause and toggle color/b&w on 2600 games (easier than using difficulty switches in Starmaster). Additionally, I do want to try to leave the 7800 case as untouched as possible (save for a later s-video mod).
