The display really looks crappy on a modern HD monitor unless you go with an upscaler unit to improve the resolution. RF output looks *really* bad and composite to a lesser degree. Interesting note: Machines supporting NTSC are about 25% faster over PAL due to the lower resolution of NTSC (Of course that only helped users in N. America and Japan? I think). That's something those of us with LCD screens never have to concern themselves with. On Fri, May 17, 2019 at 9:40 PM Mike Stein <mhs.st...@gmail.com> wrote: > Duh; of course!
