Just picked up a used genesis model 1, from the local retro video game store. Been itching to re-visit some genesis titles from my youth.
The composite video output is pretty poor, specifically the wavy lines that "roll" up the screen. See the captured video here: https://youtu.be/TrCcQKIl4-o I'm curious if this is typical.
To capture, I am routing video through a Anchor Bay video processor, which is scaling it to 480p. It is simultaneously displaying on my 43" plasma, and the video is worse on the plasma. I have also tested it on:
-Sharp 32" monitor, with equally poor results
-Diamond VC500 capture device, with even worse results - lots of noise. In all fairness, though, the VC500 does not like a lot of sources.
Does anybody know if the s-video mod improve the picture significantly?
