What's new

Home Arcade System

I made my first order around March or so and still no email. I updated my order on June thou, hope it didn't move me to the end of the queue...
 
I'm still sitting on many HAS units and accessories, I haven't completed dealing with the March/April pre-orders.

The problem is with the pre-order system I decided to use. I should've expected that people wouldn't wait that long or they would pre-order "just in case". So what happens is, people don't respond now, have tons of questions I don't have time to respond to or are slow to pay. The amount of HAS units and accessories is limited, so I can't just contact another batch of people while still dealing with the current batch.

There won't be another pre-order list this year. I'm working on a webshop and I'll basically put everything on sale there once ready.
 
@RGB glad you're working out the kinks with your pre-order system. Appreciate the transparency regarding the process!
 
@RGB I’m thankful I even got in the October list when I jumped in during the summer (even though it’s November now, but don’t worry I completely understand since you are still sorting out March/April!!! :x).
 
Hi Mike,

About the psu terminal block cover, I understand now and it's very smart. For others users, you should attach the image (that you sent me) in your HAS manual.

About audio / video connection possibilities, I have an XRGB and an OSSC and a Hitachi LED TV (with VGA / HDMI / Scart connections).
For now, I can get:
HAS - 8 pin mini to 8 pin mini cable - XRGB - HDMI to HDMI - TV
or :
HAS - 8 pin mini DIN to male Scart cable - OSSC - HDMI to HDMI - TV
or :
HAS + HD15 adapter PCB - VGA to VGA cable - OSSC - HDMI to HDMI - TV
Thank you to confirm or tell me if you propose other possibilities of connections?

As I want to check the different qualities of images that can be obtained with modern TVs, I also intend to buy a new monitor that supports the 15 khz analog RGB signal (although it's rare to find ).
Has anyone on the forum been able to try a monitor that supports 15 khz ? Is it worth compared to picture quality and other modern TVs with OSSC ?
Do you have any reference of such TVs to communicate ?
What is the best solution about picture quality with modern TVs ?
Thank you to everybody who can reply, even if my question has already been listed somewhere on this forum,
Chris.

I've used my HAS on both a PVM (15 khz) and BVM (15 and 31 khz), and it looks great. I've tried it with Naomi netboot, CPS2 multi and a few other boards.

I don't have an OSSC (yet! It just shipped a few hours ago), but with an XRGB Mini it did look all right connected to a 40" LCD TV.
 
My question is not about CRT, PVM or BVM TVs!

My question concerns only flat screens (LCD, LED ...) ... this to save space!

Thanks for your help.

Chris

So many things wrong with this statement, but I'll do my best to explain things for you...

New monitors that support 15khz... *sigh* 480i is a 15khz signal, so a ton of flat panel TVs on the market support "15khz".
What you mean to say is you want support for 240p, aka low resolution progressive, which yes IS a form of 15khz (but not the only form as mentioned 480i above).
The issue is NO modern flat panel TV will process 240p as progressive! They see the signal as interlaced and apply a bunch of shitty filters to it.

Why do they see it as interlaced and not progressive?
To understand this you need to know your history, and understand what's actually happening when a CRT renenders a 240 line progressive image.
The condensed version, even progressive 240 image IS actually Alpha and Beta field interlaced, its simply double striking the same lines with the electron beam in both fields.
The gap between draw lines everyone incorrectly refers to as "scanlines" is actually the missing alternative line strike of the Beta field (its striking the same field as the Alpha).

Thank you @ Jassin000, you're right and I thank you for this moment of history :-)

My goal is simple: I look for the best connection solution with a flat screen to get closer to the CRT.

Has anybody been able to use the new wireless Retro-bit Sega Saturn controller with RGB's Sega Saturn to JAMMA joypad converter? The LED on the receiver lights up. But I cannot get it to pair with the controller.

Not yet, but I'm waiting for these mofo's to ship my order to me. I got the 2.4ghz version, but haven't received a shipping notice yet.

When I get them, one of the first tests I'm going to do is with RGB's Saturn converters.

Same question with the other S2NG converters (I think Frank makes them?). This might be a perfect wireless solution!

I've seen on the YTubes that the controllers also mix and match between the Genesis plug, so you can use a Saturn controller on a Genesis and vice versa. Might be prudent to test the G2NG adapter as well if anyone has it.

Just wanted to say I've been using my HAS to play hours and hours of The Rumble Fish 2 over the past two weeks, it's worked great, looked beautiful, and been a total blast :) Thanks for such a great piece of gear!

I can’t wait to get my HAS to play my RF2 and HNK. XD
 
Thanks jassin000, thanks ShootTheCore.

Ok for a large screen.

But for a smaller screen (for example, between 19 and 24 inches - the size of an arcade cabinet screen is usually 24 inches), do you have another suggestion ?
