is there anyway to get RCA jacks as inputs to your computer and use it as your TV for a gamecube/xbox/whatever? i made a DIY projector that is incredibly bright at 137" diagonally and i want to be able to play mario kart on it.

how can i do this?


thanks

also, why would the radeon AIW card be better than something like a 55.00 card from newegg that has composite in?


ive tried this before and it didnt work...thats why im asking now. does anyone know for sure that this can be done?

i think all you need is a tv tuner with the input you want. if all else fails you could download the emulator.

My TV tuner has about a .5 second delay, which would be horrible for playing most non-RPG games.

I use a VD-Z3 to connect my Gamecube to my monitor. Works great, but only works with progressive scan games. PM me if you want details, I have a couple left for sale.

I used a Pelican VGA box to output to my LCD. The only real problem with it was the interlacing made stuff look shaky, but on a projector at a fair distance away, I don't think it'd be as bad a problem.

I'm not sure if it had any delay though because I never hooked up a gaming system to it.

This is a new version of it I think

woah that thing is sweet looking

i wonder if i could find someone that has used it and see if there is a delay...
