Ah ok. Virtual On feels like it's designed to be a multiplayer game, so maybe I'd get on better with Bulk Slash.

Bulk Slash is one of the few games missing from my collection that still interests me.
Having said that, while I like Virtual On, I never play it.
How does Bulk Slash compare?

It's arguably aged the best of those three.
Shame I haven't completed it, as my NTSC-US version doesn't work properly on PAL consoles.

Just made the poll more interesting by voting for Dragon Force.
I'm surprised so many voted for it tbh. The other two are much easier to get hold of and are more 'quintessential' Saturn games.

Thanks Bucko. Sounds like you should nudge me up the OSSC waiting list

Grandia footage looks decent.
A quick look for the CSY makes it seem like it's difficult to obtain.
I bought a Wii2HDMI and will test that out. For the Saturn, might try a cheap SCART to HDMI upscaler and then sell it once I've sorted an OSSC.

I've watched some videos on YouTube and it might actually be the composite. I'm thinking of getting a Wii2HDMI. The elgato puts composite to 4:3, so I'm thinking it might do the same on component. Tbh I think the picture quality also looks better: youtube.com/watch?v=b5TmejH4J5Q

Wow. Ok, well I'll definitely take you up on that offer.
I'll send you a PM later -- need to update my PayPal account.
Ive seen the comparisons between Wii composite and component online, and the difference does look huge. However, my composite looks worse than any video on YouTube, which makes me think it's more complicated. I might upload a video at some point to demonstrate.

Btw I already tried the advice on the elgato website I.e. move the slider in their software through 0-14.
Doesn't work.
And my TV says the resolution is 720 X 560i, while the elgato software says (the input is?) 640 X 480p 25
I messed around with the resolution settings. 720hd output looks best (but still shit).

I recently bought an elgato to (obvs) start capturing game footage, but when I connect to either of my HDTVs the colours are completely fucked. I should point out at this stage that I'm using a Wii, not Saturn, as I don't have an RGB SCART cable for the Saturn yet. I want to figure out the best overall solution before I start hoarding cables. When I play my Wii normally without the elgato (Wii > RGB SCART cable > HDTV) the picture is 'fine', although not stunning. When I introduce the elgato to the set up, the image and colours blur into each other and look shit. Below are the possible solutions I'd considered. I wondered if someone with more technical knowledge than me could provide their input to hopefully save me time and money through extensive trial and error. 1) Buy a component cable. Could potentially fix the Wii, but is it possible to get component cables for Saturn? 2) Buy a cheap upscaler. I'm on the list for an OSCC, but I understand that's a line doubler, so technically it's not converting to HDMI and won't solve the problem (?). Is the elgato itself not an upscaler? 3) Record my TV via a DVD player. Would I run into more unforeseen problems? Feels like the best solution. 4) Buy a CRT. I know this will be the first answer. I have no room for one. 5) Give up. Not going to happen Thanks amazing people.

Japanese version with full case and artwork is about £6. I bought it a year ago but still haven't played it had a busy run up to Xmas. Maybe next year...

Cheers Bucko. There would be no benefit to a digital out on the OSSC, as the audio signal going in (via SCART from the Saturn) is analogue. Therefore it's already been converted before it reaches the Naim DAC. I'm making this too complicated, so I'll just keep my eye on the newsletters for the standard OSSC

Thanks Barry.
I need the digital to analogue conversion to happen inside my Naim DAC. Therefore, the audio needs to arrive inside the DAC in digital form. That means via USB or coax cable.
If it goes in via SCART, then the Saturn's internal DAC has already converted the sound from digital to analogue. I'd be hearing the Saturn's inferior DAC, and the Naim would be doing nothing (other than serving as a headphone amp, as it has a headphone jack).
Think of it like those Bose adverts in the 90s. If they played the sound on the advert, all you'd hear is your TV, not the Bose (great marketing btw).

Ok that's great, thanks. Subscribed.
As far as I understand, the Saturn would still need a mod for audio. I need a digital signal to go into the OSSC, and SCART is analogue.
The set up would be:
Saturn > USB/coax cable > Naim DAC > headphones
I'll do more research on the whole shebang in the meantime.
