Is it just me, or am I not seeing scanlines on that crt?

Figuring out how to get my GameCube and Dreamcast hooked up to my 20" BVM... Worth the hassle? Or should I just stick with the Framemeister to HDTV?
The only way to play GBA

Do you have some kind of pad hack on that? That would be total boss,lol.
Not every TV is your Trinitron!
They are there, but you can barely see them. They would probably be a bit more pronounced if the contrast was turned down a tad. I could barely see scanlines on 240p content on mine too, and it's a bit larger.
The zoom is useless. It's only function really is to make widescreen content fit the full screen, but you'd never want to use it because it does some nasty stretching.
probably save a few bucks.
more like a hundred bucks, easy.
you can buy a pal GC on fleabay for $50-60, and the GB players are region free.
Get a XenoGC chip from china for $8 and a security bit for $3.
XenoGC is insanely easy to solder in.
Then, buy a small spindle of mini DVD-Rs and a GC MC to SD converter for like $25 total.
GC component cables are $200 minimum.
GC Video Lite is $125, provided you build and program it on your own and have an FPGA dev board.
While the players are region free, I don't think the discs are. So if you have a PAL GC with a U.S. player, you will need the PAL GBA player disc, which are kind of expensive. Unless the xeno GC bypasses the need for the disc?
Question: does the PAL GC with GBA player output the GBA games in 240p? Or at the native resolution of the GC itself (480i I believe)?
This is why you get an $8 Xeno GC chip (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Free-shipping-XENO-GC-for-Gamecube-Chip-NEW-100-WORKING-/281375811703) and a spindle of Mini DVD-Rs
Also, don't use the retail GB Player boot disk.
You burn this:

Alternatively, burn an SD loader and run GBI/Swiss off a Gamecube Memory Card to SD Card adapter.
Or you can install a WiiKey Fusion in a Gamecube and forego the Xeno chip and DVD-Rs entirely.
yeah, for like $80 more.
This is half of what I'm doing, GBI with a MC Cthulhu stick + GC dongle. GBA games become a lot funner on a stick!Not that hard to get real GBA on a cabinet.
Get a Euro Gamecube and GB Player and output RGB to the tube, and use something like a MC Cthulhu to get the buttons working.
Use GBI or Swiss to force 240p, turn off the filters, and have fun.
This is what I'm hoping for, I got this coming:

PAL system with GBA player and boot disc for $30.
I'd be really worried that's not actually a PAL cube. There seems to be some kind of stock template floating around eBay that lists it as "GameCube - PAL" that USA sellers seem to use. Nothing in the seller's description saying PAL...
