Way past cool! Can't wait to get it all hooked up. Got some cables on order from the UK.
Hopefully everything will arrive at the same time. Either that or I'll just composite-it until the time comes! :encouragement:

Yakumo, just out of curiosity, did you ever own an XRGB 2Plus? If so, how does it compare top the Framemeister? I'm pretty happy with my 2Plus, buts it's been on my mind to consider upgrading to the Framemeister.

edit****

I guess I should clarify that I am fully aware the Framemeister is better that the 2Plus.

Yeah, I've owned a XRGB-2+ and a XRGB-3 but neither are as good as the Framemeister. The Framemeister doesn't have the sync issues that the XRGB-3 gave me plus it can do scan lines over HDMI which is very important for me. Playing Mega Drive in 720p is amazing. The 1080p optin has an issue with the scan lines at the moment but that will be fixed in a firmware update sometime in the future.

It's really nice, you won't be disappointed. I tried out the Mega Drive in 1080p and it looks so good but as mentioned the scan lines mess up in this mode at the moment. I also tried Saturn in 720p and again via 24pin RGB. Man that looked good. I tried the Dreamcast via Svideo but that looked total ass due to the Svideo signal. I really need to get a DC RGB cable.

I think it was a fault of the Dreamcast to be honest but it looked washed out and blurry to me.

My friend popped over today with 3 more units and said there's more when needed. Apparently his company bought a few dozen crates of them !!
I'd love to know how much they paid per unit.

They really are slick but yeah, quality does come at a price. I've been holding off buying one of these for a good 6 months due to the cost but after seeing one in person I caved in and bought one from my friend. I was playing Saturn on it before, again 21pin RGB in and 720p HDMI out., Man, it was like going back in time to when I had a 26 inch Toshiba CRT screen. Funny that I'm using a Toshiba HD screen now. Even more funny when I think my first walkman was also a Toshiba. Yep, Toshiba are a very good company that are underestimated by many. Very high quality goods that piss on Sony, Sharp and Panasonic as far as HD TVs go. I'm sort of going off topic though. I agree that the XRGBmini Framemeister is expensive but it is the best option for Retro gaming on modern screens. I can honestly say my Mega Drive and Saturn have never looked so good.
