    Sure thing. I will post a few snaps soon. :)

    It is true you can't get the same feeling as you do with a CRT, but push that thought to one side and it is difficult to tell the difference.

    I have had a number of CRT's, scalers, transcoders and gizmos over the years and they are all wonderful at what they do. The Ikegami and BVM especially. I will miss them greatly, however the Framemeister does a wonderful job at putting out incredibly accurate displays from a wealth of tricky sources and for that it should be both highly respected and recommended.

    What they have under the hood is astonishing. Really pleased with it, because in reality, and I will be upfront and honest here, I wasn't expecting it to live up to the hype. Very pleasantly pleased and surprised. :)

    Bright, neon images?

    No problem for the Framemeister!

    I think I'll definitely have to pickup one of these framemeisters in the new year.

    Totally agree. No more CRTs for me. Leaves a sad feeling in the back of the mind, but this device is just superb. Looking forward to flashing v1.10 fw to it soon which fixes lots of stuff I can't even see yet!

    I want a Framemeister :o

    Question, if you tate the screen, can you tate the scanlines with these things no?

    Haven't tried it yet but I would imagine it will be fine. You are only rotating the display orientation so it shouldn't matter.

    I will try the Saturn and a couple of titles with tate mode later and see. :)

    Yep, the scanlines are created by the monitor. Rotate the monitor, the scanlines go with it ;)

    Its a bit odd the first time you notice it!

    I'm working on some fine tuning with the MAME HLSL code and some comparison shots with that excellent framemeister mini would be handy.

    Here's a snap of Gradius 2 on MAME with my current HLSL settings(I'm slowly getting it to look as I want it to).

    And without any filters(nasty as foook).

    Wanna share your settings ? :)

    You could just unplug your Kinect (or don't buy a Kinect bundle at all!) :)

    It's mad, (& I'm not referring to you Pyongy) but the amount of info people put about themselves online every minute of every day, facebook, twitter, google...a constant upload of personal info goes up by people about themselves every day to spoonfeed targeted advertising providers etc...then they're afraid to use a Kinect. Doesn't make sense :o

    One difference though is that Kinect is a camera looking at you in your own home, rather than just info you have put out there (unwittingly or not).

    True, but it's a failed concept more to be learned from rather than feared imo. By this time next year, I'd be surprised if you can even get kinect-bundles. The PS4 camera probably does all the same things but because Sony didn't make any noise about it, people don't care

    I guess like anything, folks need to educate themselves properly before dismissing something. Although the PS4 camera wasn't mandatory and always turned on like the Kinect was originally? Moronic from MS that they thought the general gaming populace wouldn't have an issue with an always on camera in your living room that costs an extra 100 quid.

    It was discovered some time back, that when the PS3 is booting, it harvests any & all data it can get from your home network (what's on the network, brands, devices etc) & transmits it to Sony as part of the boot process. I'd be incredibly surprised, if the PS4 wasn't doing the same thing & perhaps even using the camera to enhance any data it can gather. Not in a nefarious way or anything, but just as a means of collecting info to drive ads, research etc.

    MS well & truly blew the launch of the One, from the moment it was announced it failed (Xbox One??? Wft!!) They couldn't have played it worse if they tried. However, in the last 6 months or so, someone with an actual brain has taken over & has started the difficult process of turning things around for them.

    I just assume that as soon as I connect to the internet (from whatever device) that it's possible (likely) that someone on the other end can/do gather as much info about me as possible. I'm not up to anything dodgy so don't really care tbh. Same can be said about phone calls/texts etc. If you have an issue with big brother listening in then you need to go live in a cave somewhere.

    Not saying it's right, just saying don't think your hidden because you're sitting behind a VPN or something. :D

    That's real Neo/The Matrix stuff. Its like he can see into the very code of the game and is toying with it. Amazing.

    One thing I love about Battle Garegga is the suiciding. It looks so wrong in superplays but there's such a huge strategy to it in itself. Nothing quite like seeing someone pretty much dodging rain, only to then send their ship flying into one lone bullet!

    I really have to get back to playing it. Can manage 1cc up to the start of level 4 but then the overdose of adrenaline usually sends my abilities down the toilet. :pac:

    I think Garegga is a game you have to learn yourself instead of following superplays. Same as DOJ. but after watching them damn superplays you end up following them and the way they play... just got rid of my Batrider this week as I felt there was too much going on to it, just couldn't click with it!

    Had never heard of Crimzon Clover World Ignition before today (to be honest I never really paid much attention to dojin releases when my main computer was a Mac, for obvious reasons). But saw it for a fiver on Steam, and knowing nothing other than it being a bullet hell shooter, gave it a go.

    Must say I'm very impressed with it. Plays fantastically, and has a great 'arcade' look compared to some of the other indie shooters out there. It's one of the rare examples of a developer that isn't Cave getting the genre, and I look forward to figuring out its predictably mental scoring system in more depth.
