241, Building a gameroom part 6: Aspect ratio/Capture card

Lots of people asked me about the aspect ratio on the HDTV in my gameroom with my old school consoles. even got a couple messages saying my setup sucked because of it. So in this video I show you how you can switch it to 4:3 and make your games look right/square. (haters, Open mouth, Insert foot. LOL)
I also show how to add an external capture card to your setup for easy use and spit to your TV so you don't have to play on your computer or deal with any lag while capturing your footage.
Hope you enjoy!

@L1 Games: Just wanted to comment on your gaming setup and tell you it's pretty cool, but unfortunately as good as it is, it doesn't make the most of the consoles you have hook'd up to it which is somewhat of a waste. You should at least have your consoles hooked up wit S-vid? I implore you to hook up your DC via VGA with a VGA box cuz will make your games look amazing with visual image that will surely surprise you. Anywho, just wanted to say that i dig your vids and your store very much! :)

@CDages

The point here is a quick connect system that allows for the quick hook up and disconnection of consoles. I didn't have that as a cheap and easy option with this setup. Check out the "building a gameroom number 5" video and you'll know what I mean.

I agree that the DC looks better with the VGA (especially on the HDTV) and I'll do that. but for just hooking up and playing here and there, I'm pleased with this:)

Glad you like the videos! Thanks for the support:)

I like how people dont understand old consoles and that they dont have HD cables, only s-video on some of them.

@seekndestroy95 get component cables, it makes a lot of difference

how much dos a N64 cost

[ivan3211]

Hey, i love all the episode in which you talk about the store, either the people that come in the store or games you bought/sold.

But i would love it if you showed us a clip of you working while its busy. Just take like 15 minutes and show it to us in a fast forward. Put funny words in it and what ever you like lol

Just a tought, cause i havent seen an episode in which you where selling the store like you where at the start of your episodes. Tell me what you think!

[CDages]

I did check out that respective vid! I really dig your cable management with your game room setup (sick as hell!). But I here ya about your quick disconnect reasoning.

Well i'm glad you agree in respects to DC and it's stellar VGA output feature. I certainly hope that out of these conversations you do in fact go VGA with DC! If you do, please share a vid and give your honest feedback on it. I said I dig your content so i'll subscribe, if you can justify doin the same, i'd be very appreciated :)

What about a ps2 being black and white on a newer tv with a component cable how do you fix that?
