They might work - then again, do we know that they handle VGA-style resolutions intelligently, or do they expect something special? The feature list does specify that it does analog and TTL RGB, as well as other formats not seen on a "normal" CRT monitor, so it looks promising. However, I didn't see here that it supports VGA. "Naive handling" of analog RGB inputs through a VGA d-sub connector is probably the best thing to get here.
The Sharp monitor looked just like the cheapest CRT monitor you'd ever seen; small, with pronounced curvature, not really impressive build quality or a dark tube, etc. It might have good parts inside - I don't know. Of course looks aren't everything - having support from 15KHz to 31KHz is a better feature than the many standard (and larger) PC and Mac monitors which came since.
I actually don't know (never bothered to find out) the full feature list of the Emotia...my limited knowledge basically doesn't go any farther than some Micomsoft units + direct connections to consumer TVs, VGA monitors, and broadcasting monitors. I can understand what simple converters do, but like Fudoh says, scan conversion has to be dealt with (and looks like the major roadblock here), not just pin adapters. My point was more that even if you do a pin adapter, the X68000 video pinout seems to only have separate H and V syncs - no combined sync of any kind. So even if your display is doing scan conversion you'll need to make sure sync is dealt with.antron wrote:Ed was just pointing out 24kHz games would be a no-go with the emotia.
The screen just blinks out of range.
