The font is wildly different. It's like a variant on the GBA, or a romhack. Durante hasn't answered my PM on the subject, so it's a mystery to me(and most everywhere I've asked).
I've seen other mini SLG screenshots, and the scanlines aren't supposed to be so thick. They're covering entire alternating lines of the 240p signal.
It looks like SkyRender's retranslation to me.

Seems to be, thanks.
Sony PVM-14M2U (year 2002, 600 lines) vs. Panasonic BT-H1350Y (year 1991, 750 lines):
It's... so... sparkly.
I wasn't really interested in a pro-CRT monitor as I'd finally gotten rid of my two old CRT TVs with my move, but I'm kind of turning around again. Something smaller like that would be neat to have.

I was gonna say that looks like its only generating half the scanlines it should or something. The text should have at least 6 or 7 lines I imagine

Yea its only generating half of them from the looks of it.
It is Taito F3. It is on loan from StarCreator.

I want people to load me boards
I may have to look into an f3 a bit more. I've been considering that and a g-net.
It really does look amazing though.

How do you like it? It's probably my favorite board in my collection.

What's it usually run?

I've seen it go between $150 - $225, it's just kinda hard to find in the US since nobody wants to sell it.

Yea, the only one I see is $500 on eBay right now -_-
Do you also have a taito g-net by chance?

I don't - I've seen a few for sale but never really looked into its library.

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
It is cool enough. I mean, kinda redundant with the stellar Saturn port but it is cool to play it on the original hardware (and also in the Blast).
Been enjoying Virtual Console today on the holiday. Specifically some MSX stuff which are presented so nicely. Here is Aleste via the framemeister.
Got my Dreamcast set up on SCART so I took a few shots of Street Fighter III
Holy shit. Beautiful. 2D Capcom > 3D Capcom.
I can't wait to get my Toro in the mail so I can play DC games in proper 240p and 480p via SCART. It's sure taking its time getting here.
Shovel Knight on an OG 3DS
edit: I think I need to wipe my camera lens
I'd love to see another picture like this after you do clean off the screen/lens.

Yes mom, I'll do it tomorrow
Lmao I guess that did sound pretty bossy/maternal. Sorry about that! Also don't forget to take out the trash.
Looks stunning not in person as well. Damn.

Bad news, I think the dirt or whatever is on the actual 3DS screen ..underneath the screen protector (I bought it used and that was pre-applied). I wiped my lens filter, the actual lens and the 3DS screen with a cleaning cloth but the dirt smudges are still in the exact same spots. :/
Wow that looks gorgeous even in picture.
Ahh bummer, but cool on your for trying.
Super Mario Bros. Virtual Console on 3DSXL
Earth Bound Zero Reproduction Cart on NES Composite to PVM.
LOZ:LA Virtual Console on 3DS XL. Hold Select and Start when booting for perfect scanlines that actually match up to those rendered when the game is played on a real Super Gameboy on an SDTV. This is the only way to get perfect looking 240p out of GBC games without a homebrew solution or sacrificing the color palette. Again, this highlights just how sad the Gameboy Player by not supporting 240p
The coolest menu screen on the NES: Pinball Quest, composite out to PVM.. plus a far less cool looking gameplay shot:
LOZ:MC on GB Player at 480i to PVM via GCN component cables:
:*(
Yeah I know. How do I go about using swiss to play my GBA carts in 240p? If action replay is required, could you point me in the direction of one that will also allow me to unlock F-Zero AX from GX?
Nevermind, quick google search made that easy. I ordered an the SD card loader. I'll be joining the 240p GB Player club soon.
Edit... my order didn't go through. Datel's codebreaker site sucks. Oh well.
Earth Bound Zero Reproduction Cart on NES Composite to PVM.
Seeing this has reminded me i need to play NES earthbound!
Just a fair warning. NES Earth Bound is a total slog. Definitely a cool game, but not very respectful of the gamer's time. It's similar to other NES JRPGs in that sense.
All one needs to do in that case is play the GBA version with Tomato's retranslation with the easy ring, which boosts EXP/money gain and reduces the encounter rate.
Internet in my home sucks, so I don´t contribute to this thread as much as I´d like. Here are some other pics, some are eerily similar to other posters contributions. All were taken on my Sony Wega I used in previous posts. 360 games are displayed in 480i as I have no method of downsampling 480p to 240p, been looking for an Emotia forever.
Street Fighter III Third Striker. Xbox 360 Component out.
Dungeons and Dragons Tower of Doom. Xbox 360 Component out.
Castlevania SotN. PSP Component out.
Garou Mark of the Wolves. PS2 Component out. Playing an image patched for 240p out.
Yoshi´s Story. Wii VC Component out.
Street Fighter II Turbo. Snes S-video.
Those are really good. I made an avatar out of one, since it looked like it fit the size well.
Free for anyone.

Took more pics on my OG 3DS. Tried to get shots where the dirt spots under the screen protector don't show up. Again, apologies for when they do. Can't do nothing about it other than ripping off my screen protector solely for pics^^
