damn that's a nice PVM!!  I still need to find a RGB monitor to play my Duo in RGB after all these years.

I know it's a stupid arse question -> but how do I connect a SCART-out modded PC Duo R to a PVM monitor like these?  Are there special connectors I can just buy off the shelve somewhere and plug in the SCART or vice versa??

Beamer/Deadlinte?  you both prob are the masters on this... pls share the wisdom :)



I don't have anything that outputs RGB now, but I will be working on it soon.  In the meantime I used S-Video to test and make sure it worked.  What a waste to break it in with a SNES though!!   :P

On the fence about killer is dead. Have you played it yet?

ive beaten it twice so far. I really enjoyed it. Much better than Lollipop chainsaw. Not as good as No more heroes. The character design is only there for 2-3 characters in Killer is dead,while almost all the characters in no more heroes are awesome. The gigolo missions are pretty fun for awhile, and it is typical Suda 51 style. More serious story than is other games, and he breaks the 4th wall quite a bit.

Speaking of the story, it could have been much more if it wasn't so convoluted. But the gameplay is fun, and boss fights are pretty awesome. I say if you are a fan of past Suda games then you will enjoy Killer is Dead 

Awesome, will have to check it out then.

So, I believe those are called BNC connectors.  If I understand properly you can probably find a SCART cable with BNC leads and plug those in accordingly, then I just need to set the correct input and possibly fine tune  the monitor a bit for the colors.

I'm still a total noob on the PVM/RGB end of stuff as well, and still trying to figure out how I want to approach it all.  I could make custom cables for the output on specific consoles if I want, or I've heard other people using something like a scart switcher, then output from the switcher to the PVM with a single custom cable.   ](*,) ](*,)

Right now my big concern is finding a way to get it out of the garage and into the house and set up without my wife asking why I need another CRT in the house.   :?

This should do ya nicely - I used to have one of these for my PVM-2030.

Beemer - if you're reading this, can you make more PVMs materialize out of thin air like you always seem to do?

Havent been buying much at all lately, but I did pick one thing up.  I'm a super softy for special edition crap.  As much as I hated to give Failstop any of my money, I couldn't resist it.  Ordered it online and had it shipped so I didn't have to go in and talk to the goons that work there.

Wii U Deluxe limited zelda windwaker HD edition thingy.  It matches the Zelda 3DS so nicely... :D

Interesting fact... I weighed both the 3DS and the Wii U tablet thingy...  the 3DS was about 8 ounces, while the Wii U thingy was 17 ounces.  Basically twice as heavy.  I was really surprised at how light the tablet thingy was.

I am thinking about putting a Wii U Zelda addition on layaway. I love Wind Waker and am in the minority on its sailing mechanic. I love exploring the ocean! The HD addition looks fantastic!
