Does anyone use a scart switcher with their XRGB?

So TA invested in a Framemeister - but doesn't care about aspect ratio? Classic.

Flashback looks ok but not as good as CRT. F-Zero average and Axelay looks bad. Bottom 3 looks decent enough despite aspect ratio.

I'll do you an Axelay shot tonight. It won't look like TAs image. I think his colour is too high.

Yep. I've no doubt that's what it is. [emoji4]

Great images. You've shown what the Framemeister is all about.

I like Widescreen and no borders at all.

I know a lot of people who prefer to make a 4:3 image 16:9. But it's not something I like, as the stretched can look really weird to my eyes. When I play Street Fighter 2 games, people tell me to stretch the image, but I always hide the remote.

This image was taken with my phone camera and looks great.

Yeah, that's a really nice, ultra clear image from the SNES. My camera adds weird lines to the images, so I chose not to post pics of my SNES in action.

F-Zero looks especially awesome on my LCD with the Framemeister. So good that it seems like a huge Sony Trinitron. Axelay also looks mint. And seeing it's my favourite shooter that I've played hundreds of times, I know how great it looks on a good CRT. The Framemeister really does deliver a similar image quality on a huge LCD.

That will be because of the angle the picture is taken at. All cameras will do that with scan lines.

Its the Mega CD version of Flashback and so the colours pay the price , but the detail is far better thanks to the MD RGB .

That's insane buying an expensive bit of kit to produce a good picture to then deliberately distort it into widescreen.

I've never liked the borders be that the top or the side of the screen

[Yakumo]

Who's interested in seeing some Framemister action filmed with a camera pointing at the screen in 60fps?
I'll cover Mega Drive, SFC, PS2, Dreamcast, Saturn and maybe something else.

My SNES RGB is as good as MD so the detail thing is a non issue.

lol - it was bought about 10 years ago, so i cant remember!

I think they retailed for around ?60 - keep an eye out on the bay - you sometimes can see them for around ?20

Lovely shielded bit of kit too - no interference at all
