Unfortunately this is a very expensive bit of kit but if you want your old consoles to look as beautiful as possible it's the price you have to pay. To be honest, the Framemeister is actually cheaper than some other up-scaler units and does a better job than them as well. It really is the only choice for the hardened retro gamer.

Sorry for the off-topic, but WOW! If only I had the money..... This is really a good kit, and look at those scan lines...... It's almost as if these pics have been taken from a CRT TV!

Yeah,amazing looking.

Hopefully it will be easy to find in the future when I can afford it.

I doubt the price will drop that much. The XRGB3 still cost a pretty penny.

Yeah I assume the price wouldn't change. Hence why I just hoped for easy availability for when I eventually have the money someday.

I see what you mean. The XRGB3 can still be found at a price but it's not as easy to track down as it once was.

so there is no problem to use this for xbox,ps1,ps2 and gamecube on a hdtv too to get a better screen?

No problem at all. The only issue I've found and all up-scan converters suffer from this, is when you are playing a game that changes resolutions. For example, Dead or Alive on the Saturn runs in high resolution when playing the main game and title screen but the loading screens and character select are in standard 240p. So up-scan converters need to adjust the scanning when the resolution changes. This takes a few seconds meaning in Dead or Alive's case, you loose the first few seconds of every 1st round. A real pain in the arse. Still, not many games change resolutions during gameplay so it isn't really a major issue.

So in the opinions of those that have used one of these, does this make CRTs for gaming completely obsolete? Or would you say CRTs still produce a better picture on certain consoles?
