A look at my Component modded Genesis + extras

[Satoshi_Matrix]

Hey guys, I wanted to share with you my modded model 1 Sega Genesis that's decked out with mods, done by Ace9921 here on digitalpress. Check it out!

Good stuff there. Don't mind that guy talking about the capture stuff; it's your money. I have a question though - does this use an internal RGB to component converter? If I was doing it, I would've considered having the Genesis output RGB straight away so then I could choose whether to use an RGB to component converter box, or to plug it straight into a display that accepts RGB natively. You can also go relatively straightforwardly from RGB to HDMI or DisplayPort or whatever with the right upscaler box. For what it is, though, this represents pretty much the apogee of consumer TV play for a Genesis.

I couldn't tell from the video, but do you get any "jailbars" (alternating patches of light and dark across the picture)?

[Satoshi_Matrix]

yes, it uses an interanl rgb to component converter. I could also use a direct megadrive scart cable and use my own external converter too.

towards the end of the video I show off what it looks like in component. In this mode, faint bars can be seen when the screen is completely black, but this doesn't occur when the screen is full of any other color. this only happens with component, and to fix it would mean loss of color in composite and s-video. I use this genesis on multiple generations of tvs, so the loss of color in composite or s-video would be unacceptable.

I get those same bars from a scart cable as well.

Confusingly there's more than one kind of bars.

Another type may occur on the color blue, and did NOT originate with genesis. It sometimes affected Master System as well.
Though disabling composite/s-video color is similarly its best fix.

Do you mean the interference from the oscillator in the Sony RGB encoder?

Sort of off-topic, but do all Canadians pronounce composite as COMPosite? I've always heard it as comPOSite.

I'm Canadian and I say COMPosite.

[fluid_matrix]

I'm Canadian and I say COMPosite.

So do you say COMPonent too?

[theclaw]

I'd just have figured COMPosite and comPOSite are two different words.

Read vs read, tape (adhesive) vs tape (cassette)...

They're the same word, just pronounced differently. I only asked because he's not the first person on YT that I've heard pronounce that way. I've just always heard it the other way. Nothing against our friends up north, it's just they interpret the word differently than I'm used to hearing.

ComPOWnent really make the colors POP!

[Satoshi_Matrix]

I say:

Arr Eff
COMPosite
Ess Vid E Oh
COMPonent
Ehhst Tee Ehmm Aye

and despite what Americans say, Z is Zed, not Zee.

Hurray Canada!

I guess I might be somewhere in between. Seattle is the closest major area to here.

Are you guys sure you want to claim Keifer? Shatner, Red Green, and Colin Mochrie are all amazing fellow though.

Not enough Maple Syrup though. *throws an octopus on the ice* :vamp:
