First off, let me explain to you how much I love RGB. RGB is a dream. Nothing is better when it comes to displaying interlaced video games. When it comes to the TG-16, Master System, Genesis, SNES, Sega CD, Atari Jag, 32X, Neo-Geo, Sega Saturn, Sony Playstation and Nintendo 64, there is no better video signal to feed to a monitor.
RGB is how games are coded. It's their natural form, at least back in the era of 1988 to 1998. When you are playing a game on an RGB monitor you can't adjust the color. The reason that you can't adjust the color? Because you don't need to. The color in RGB is exactly how the developer intended the color to look. The only thing you can mess with is Brightness and Contrast. That's because the RGB signal is the best pure signal to mess with. At least prior to Progressive Scan gaming that came along with the Sega Dreamcast and the VGA Adapter.
Anyways, not to digress, but you know how much I love RGB. I'm always doing different topics about RGB.
Well I recently discovered something pretty freaking amazing. If you have a Modded XBOX, and you have the Neo Genesis emulator on there, and if you have a HDTV that does 1080i, then you can have a signal that is virtually EQUAL to a TRUE RGB SIGNAL!
Here is the deal. You need to configure the Neo Genesis emulator to do 3 things.
1. on" Xbox Hardware Filtering" turn on the "Trilinear Filtering" option.
2. On "Software Filter" set it to "Super Scale 2X"
3. On "Video Mode" set it to " 1080i "
Now, if you use these settings, and you have a XBOX High Definition cable, and you have it hooked up to the HD component inputs on the HDTV that can handle a 1080I signal, then you are basically playing the Genesis in freaking RGB!!!!!!!!!
I mean believe me when I tell you. I have played tons and tons of RGB, and this emulator on the XBOX, with those settings hooked up to a HDTV is the equivalent of having a 51 inch Widescreen RGB monitor!
It is so good, that if I can eventually get a Genny controler made to work on the XBOX, that I would be willing to sell all my Genny gear. (well, maybe.)
