G+_Matthew Bowen Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 No different than the Wii, need a converter box. I know, I agree it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Josh White Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Find a LCD TV that has both HDMI and component inputs then take say my DVD recorder hook your game systems to that and recorder to TV via component and your set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Matt Bonnett Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 If you don't mind going the 'sketchy' route, I'd say emulate. Especially on the N64 side you can add some nice but subtle eyecandy. Ocarina of Time for example can be natively rendered in 16:9 at whatever resolution you choose. ie:1920x1080 vs the N64's original 320x240? I only mention 'sketchy' because everyone seems to have a different viewpoint on legalities on these things and there's no real solid answer on it. As far as I am concerned personally is if you own the original carts, you are in the right to emulate those games. But that's me. Everything upto and including the N64/PSX era can be easily emulated full speed these days on very cheap hardware. PS2 is a dog still, original Xbox is non-existant. Dreamcast is about on par with PS2 emulation: Works but slow. Gamecube/Wii seems to be good but needs solid hardware. 360 and PS3 don't even exist at this stage. Otheriwse for the original consoles, what has already been mentioned: Going to need some form of converter. Something such as this would do the trick: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=101&cp_id=10114&cs_id=1011406&p_id=9994&seq=1&format=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
