I have a grey and white console and use the same one with them. The rating is 80w which is way more than is needed. Good to know, the description says 50w but I guess that's still over 3 times what is needed. This subject pops up quite a bit from time to time. There's an older thread about this with some info. Here's the link. segasaturngroup.proboards.com/thread/11845/japanese-saturn-voltage-step

I just use a step down. Sure it's a bit fiddly having a power brick but it works.

I love it when someone REALLY gets into a game.

I'd be more interested in an OSSC - have a SNES, MD, N64(modded for RGB), DC, GC, Saturn, PS1&2 all with RGB SCART cables so I'd get the most out of that by far. I'm thinking I can connect my Thor powered SCART switch into the OSSC for convenience. Would that be workable?

Oh...I've only used it with an older TV. It has a pixel doubling option that makes the DC fit the screen vertically while retaining the 4:3 aspect ratio. Maybe I should hold onto that TV!!! Still thinking of getting OSSC anyhow. Might wait for the pro (unless you have some good deals?)

I have a VGA cable for DC for using on a flat screen and RGB SCART for my CRT. There's a couple of games with which I prefer the RGB CRT. Gigawing springs to mind as one of them but most games look great either way. The main advantage of VGA is that you don't have overscan.

A man of taste then. Yeah - RGB SCART is the only way. retrogamingcables are the folk I've used most. Quality products. As a rule you get what you pay for.

The only evidence I have of feeling a difference is when I switched my LCD TV to game mode I noticed I has doing slightly better at xbox 360 shooting games. I didn't feel any difference but I was doing a little bit better.
Thing is though - that's an xbox360 which will run at a native res of the TV so there is very little TV processing going on.
I also remember running DJ Hero on Wii on the same TV and went into the calibration mode and I didn't need to adjust anything. I was running the Wii using component though so it was 480p - native to the TV again.
With an old 240p source like the Saturn it's hard to say what is going on with a modern TV - especially the newer ones.

Elite level shmup players are happy with low levels of lag - up to 3 or maybe 4 are considered acceptable. Some arcade machines have lag - the 360 port of Mushihimesama Futari lets you recreate the same level of lag as the arcade (assuming you are using a CRT). Once you start to hit 5/6 frames then ports are considered unacceptable by skilled players. (e.g. the Psikyo shmup ports on Switch) So I'd agree that lower levels of lag aren't as issue. Of course the lag added by any modern screen will be on top of any created by the game - which is where buckoa51 and the equipment he sells comes into play. Displays can generate all sorts of lag and upscalers like the OSSC can more or less eliminate that. I'm considering going for an OSSC to see how it compares while I still have my CRTs. Though I'm more concerned about how the games look more than anything else.

Yeah - I had one of those too - way back. Worst case is having a widescreen TV with no option to force 4:3. Most older b&w films are 4:3 - it was once called the academy aspect ratio Unless they get a transfer they would look horrific stretched to widescreen.
