Just wanted to list a possible yet expenssive video set-up for an Atomiswave on your HDTV or component cable (RCA Component Jacks) compatible Monitor:

If you notice on an Atomiswave system there is an optional VGA output port used to channel 1080pi or less to your VGA compatible monitor. (VGA jacks are often used for computers, i.e-the high resolution) It is possible to transfer VGA signals to a high definition component video signal that uses RCA jacks to connect. (Red Green Blue jacks) This is achived through the use of a High Definition Video Transcoder. (in case you don't know what component is, it is the red, green, and blue jacks on the back of some newer TV's) Some possible transcoders are on the following link:

http://www.keohi.com/keohihdtv/interfaces/rgbtocomponenttranscoder.html

The technical term for this set-up is RGB to Component Video. This should allow you view your games on the Atomiswave in high resolution. It also means that you should be able to switch the dip 1 setting swith to on for higher resolution without errors on screen. The component set-up should be better than even S-Video. A true video game display!

Hope this helps! ^_^

Some new HDTV sets have VGA input, which solves the problem right there. :)

Yep...You should be good to go as long as the adapter states that it is a VGA to Component one.

Happy Gaming!

Off topic, but are you a fan of the Cerebus comics? One issue to go... :(

:( Sorry…I haven’t read much of the Aardvark’s adventures. But I must admit that it seems to be a most enjoyable series. I know it has been around for quite some time….

My Screen Handle was derived from the Greek Mythology character, “Kerberos”.

(funny fact)
I actually was asked a similar question by someone with the handle, “Magus Doran”, which coincided into a parallel conversation. Small world.
