You know I was really disappointed...but then I realized that I didn't have it on a decent monitor.
It would be neat to have it again now that I've got the XRGB 2+.
Makes all the difference.

Well I HAD a consolized Atomiswave but never really liked it on my 37' plasma...so I traded it for a nice Neo Package...then thought the Neo was ok but something still wasn't right until I hooked the Neo up to the XRGB 2+.
So I was just thinking if I had hooked up my Atomiswave to the XRGB I would have been happy with the graphics?
You think or probably not?

Would you even need to bother with that? I thought the AW had direct VGA output.

Yeah you know it probably does. My Panasonic 37' Plasma didn't have VGA out and I bought a Samsung 50' that does.
Problem is...I sold my Atomiswave before I bought the Samsung.

The atomiswave vga output is kind of picky. Like pyson hardware, it doesn't work on all monitors. I couldn't find the thread, but I had a great big thread on monitors and the AW in the Tech forum at some time. I couldn't get it to run on my tv with vga in or my mitsubishi megaview pro 27....and from what I remember....a bunch of regular vga monitors too.

It only outputs composite sync on the vga line, and most computer monitors need separate sync.

You know what pisses me off about the Atomiswave, it creation. It was a scam by sega to liquidate surplus dreamcast components. So in the end you had a system which was inferior to a dreamcast which in term was inferior to the naomi. But the gap the Atomiswave was inferior to the dreamcast was substantially wider than the dreamcast was from the naomi.
All the flagship titles that was develop and released for the Atomiswave should have been released on the naomi, because lets face it the naomi is to sega what cps 2 and mvs was to their respective companies. So now all those mainstream titles will now be lost to history due to being released on a obscure system.

Well, we still have wikipedia and http://www.atomiswave.org/ to feel that "obscure" gap...
I mean, if people really care about the franchises, some minor google searchs will take them to were they need to. At least, that's what I think.

I thought VGA always had three syncs standard. A separate vertical, a separate horizontal and a composite sync on the green channel?
Is this just how VGA can be and not how it always is?
