A quality gamecube scoop if I do say so myself.
Getting that boxed is a pretty nice thing.

Got my new Retro-Access SCART cable and RGB upgrade board from RetroRGB hooked up and into my brand new Retrotink 2X SCART last night. I thought the component output on the Omega was okay (pretty crisp but still had some noise and wasn’t compatible with my Retrotink 2X).
Very pleased with the output! Super sharp and the scan lines from the RT2X look great. Played some Neo Turf Masters to check it out.
If you have an Omega and use SCART I highly recommend it (you’ll need a Genesis 2 SCART cable though since it ditches the proprietary one from ArcadeWorks).
How are you liking the upgrade? I installed one a few months ago and the picture looks the exact same as the stock board.
Tested it on my OLED and my PVM and my AES has a much better picture.
16mm projector. Found it a garage sale. The previous owner (an older gentleman) had kept it in great shape.
Did it include films?
Layer Section is fantastic, and an easy 1CCI've only played DOA1 on the PS1 but never on the Saturn. It's great, though I love PS1 training mode better.
Also first time playing Layer Section. Gorgeous game.

Cool! I've heard it's a lot easier than some of the other saturn shmups out there.
I could be off because I played Galactic Attack, I'm not sure if it was neutered for the US market. It's one of the very few shooters I've had a 1CC on and that was years ago, so I attributed it to that.Where'd you read this? You're way off.
It really isn't.
Anyways, I'm not really a fan of dead or alive, but I remember being pretty impressed with saturn doa's graphics.

I don't think I'll ever get a 1CC on this. I'm too amazed by the graphics to know what's going on and then I die, blown to smithereens in the dark vacuum of space.
I don't doubt ASIDs analysis at all, so I can concede that I may have misspoken. I recall putting a fair amount of time into Layer Section, and the overall gameplay with the lock on mechanics clicking with me, which probably explains why I spent so much time with it.Correct me if I'm wrong, but based on a lot of your recent posts, you've kinda just begun to have a serious interest in shooters (and the saturn)?
I would write his Layer Section anecdote on an ice cube. It's not the ideal game to cut your teeth on if you're looking to build your chops/cement the experiences that make the genre so addictive to play. I'm not claiming that he's lying, but trying to clear a game like Layer Section will not just happen by accident. Batsugun? Sure. There are plenty of easier arcade ports of shooters out there. But a title like Layer Section demands a solid understanding of the game and mannnny hours of practice.
My real point is, it always sucks when someone gets discouraged when a game is described as "easy" or "hard" and the truth is either firmly in between, or worse, the truth lies in the opposite polarity of it's original description.
I bought a GBS8220 and a wifi board to do the famous GBS Control cfw mod, should be a fun little project to solder when it arrives. Like a true n00b I always did composite because A: I didn't know RGB -> Component YUV was easy, cheap and lag free and B: Prices on Meisters and Tinks were always a bit too rich for my blood, especially considering the current exchange rate I'm subject right now and C: thinking RGB was the only way, I dreaded having to hunt some PVMs or mod a consumer TV. I have a SCART cable and two different RGB->Component converters on their way, and as I said, the GBS board with some misc stuff and the wifi board.

Wanted to share images of an SC19 I picked up, but it won't let me. Oh well, guess the admins took away all my abilities. It's a nice restore.
