pixel perfect flying full force flying full force f f f about subscribe to rss tag archive pixel perfect february 15 2012 in loot reviews 5 comments mini review scart to hdmi 1080p scaler i ve got a pretty big loot post coming up but before that i want to share my experiences with one of those scart to hdmi upscalers in a little mini review of sorts if you re interested in reading more about scalers gaming here s a great site to check out you see the crt tv i ve been using for retro gaming ld watching isn t actually all that great it s a big chunky 32 widescreen sony wega crt that 99 percent of the time only gets feed with 4 3 content it s got the wrong shape for the job really also when viewing a 4 3 image on it it squishes the edges ever so slightly once you notice it you will see it every time though it s especially evident in horizontal scrolling games but also any time a movie or whatever pans horizontally one simple solution would be to get another crt tv and that is a solution i ve been thinking of for a while but haven t been able to go through with there is two reasons for this 1 people often don t specificate what tv it is they re selling sony crt will be the most detailed description you will see also almost never any pictures of the back or information about the inputs available they will say if it has scart because scart is important to people here but s video composite component no you simply won t get that from 99 99 of all sellers looking to get rid of their old fat tvs 2 they re big heavy and generally cumbersome i can t lift one myself and in order to get to my room you have to climb a set of stairs not fun with a tv so i m kind of looking to save space by getting rid of my current crt and plug everything back into my lcd tv the proper way this time i used to just plug things in and it worked all right didn t notice much input lag but with the pce i got image problems with interlacing and artfacts in some games with a scaler though you let it take care of the image from your preferred video source and scaling it up to the native or close to resolution of your lcd tv problem is a good scaler like those home cinema ones are disturbingly expensive though brand name is part of what you pay for and there happen to be tons of chinese no name scalers listed on ebay so i tried my luck with one of these a scart one because what isn t directly connected to my tv goes into my scart boxes behold the scaler this isn t a proper review to get that out of the way i didn t actually play much with it as i was more focused on how things would look would it work at all the unit itself feels very solid it s got a metal casing and certainly weighs a bit setting it up couldn t be any more simple scart goes into the scart socket in the back hdmi cable goes into the hdmi socket on the front add power and you re done but what s the end result well here are some pictures i took ps1 rr 4 pal scart ps1 gits ntsc s video pce ntsc j composite to scart let s analyse these shall we first up was ridge racer 4 running on my pal ps1 through scart the result is a bit odd the image has black borders and isn t centered also slightly squished ghost in the shell was running on my ntsc j ps one through s video through scart and as you can see the scaler didn t like s video no color just black white although in full screen pce then no won t work don t know why technically it s a ntsc j composite signal put through one of those xbox 360 scart connectors but running it directly into the composite inputs in my scart switches didn t change the fact that i got no image the best result was achieved by my laser disc player which outputs an ntsc composite signal that goes directly into one of the scart boxes still stretched to full screen however this highlights the biggest problem aside from getting a proper image everything is mercilessly stretched to 16 9 and for some reason i can t change the aspect ratio to 4 3 on my tv actually none of the two tv sets i ve tried this on allowed me to change the aspect ratio to 4 3 once the scaler was powered on and therefore it is to me quite useless sadly as i stated earlier there are many many many no name scalers available on ebay but also amazon it might be worth a shot but don t be surprised if you get a similar result january 17 2012 in anime games 1 comment game comparison yuna vs yuna remix i was thinking of writing a few lines about the new anime season but i m waiting for episode 2 of the shows i m following so that ll have to wait instead i m going to do a little shoot out here with two versions of the same game 銀河お嬢様伝説ユナ ginga ojou sama densetsu yuna or galaxy fraulein yuna i m going to issue a 56k warning here i don t have any proof but quite i m confident that a great many gamers and anime fans haven t heard of this particular title before and i don t blame them with the third and last game released for the ps1 in 1998 and a series of ovas released around the same time kagurazaka yuna is indeed an icon of times past there is a compilation of the first two games sought after spin off ginga fukei densetsu sapphire released for the psp in japan 2008 but i m not really counting that with artist akitaka mika at the helm galaxy fraulein yuna is a classic multimedia franchise including everything you would expect games anime cds the lot the plot revolves around the cute but somewhat ditzy 16 year old kagurazaka yuna who just happened to win an intergalactic beauty contest the ginga ojou sama contest hence the name and with that suddenly became an idol with all that entails however not only does she receive fame but also the title of saviour of light and must do battle with evil forces in this case her rivals from said competition who have had their hearts stolen by darkness and that s the gist of it sounds corny to you it is but i think the game s straightforwardness works in it s favour the series started out on the pc engine with the first game released in 1992 it saw a re relase the one i have with some additional content in 1995 and also a sequel in 1996 the first game got a re make on saturn titled remix so you d imagine that the saturn version is quite the upgrade from the by then 4 year old original version after all the saturn is known as a 2d powerhouse and the large number of high quality adventure visual novels digital comics in it s library certainly speaks in it s favour but you d be wrong and in this comparison we will see why before we get to the screencaps let s compare the opening now i used magic engine pce and sff saturn respectively in order to grab some screencaps from the beginning to the first battle with jealous rival kaede i used emulation because i ve got both systems hooked up to a crt screen at the moment and we all know how well that goes with photography right pc engine version 1992 quite small so enlarge them in your browser or something saturn version 1996 while the saturn version features anime cutscenes in the more modern style the series adapted as it series went on everything is a mess let s be honest here the saturn never had any luck with fmvs i blame bad codecs and when they replaced the pixel art cutscenes with the handrawn ones we re well on our way to artefact central speaking of artefacts around all character portraits there s this almost halo like pixelation or what looks like the result of a poor job with the magic wand tool in photoshop not to mention that many character portraits are re used from the pce version and thus doesn t match with the newer character design other casualties includes the backgrounds which now looks like they were made in ms paint and i m not joking the map screen which is displayed when you change location in the pce version is absent and so is almost the whole gui we re left with a very bare bones interface with only a semi transparent blue bar for text and character portraits while i appreciate that the game now runs in full screen it all looks so amateurish the battle system also gets an upgrade what used to be merely a rock paper scissors kind of thing now also has 3 quickly changing stats attack shield evade which needs to be timed correctly for maximum effect the idea itself is good but the result is lacklustre it makes my eyes spin also the grainy fmvs make their comeback during the battle in fact the only thing that can actually be seen as an improvement in the remix version is bigger character illustrations and the sound and even then it s not a very big difference voices sound maybe a little less compressed and the music is no longer chip generated but whether that s a good or bad thing is debatable this time it s a bad thing because no one seemed to care enough about the music to really make it any better the pce version actually sounds a bit more distinctive if you think i m hard on galaxy fraulein yuna remix it s because an improved version of a game released on 32 bit system should not be inferior in almost every single way to the original version released 4 years prior on what essentially is an 8 bit system if they just had actually sat down and harnessed the power of the saturn it could ve turned out a great remake now i do enjoy this particular franchise and some day i should really pick up the third game for the ps1 or saturn and maybe the pc fx version should i manage to get my hands on one of those omake content season backdrops from the saturn version s calendar mode and that s that see you next post search search for
