Yo, Topher Cantler told me to tell you to get a hold of him. He says he's got what you need. He's not on the forum so you'll have to hit him up on his twitter @Topherocious or track him down at http://rockmelonsoda.com/forum/

Ah, that's really nice of you man, much appreciated!

I'll see if I can't track him down on the forum (I don't know much about twitter and will probably leave it that way. :o )

Thanks again!

Well, that was extremely helpful - at least it helped me to solve half the battle. Topher gave me the info on screenflow, which is an amazing free Mac program that allows you to record your desktop and export it instantly as a Mov. file. It has a ton of neat options to mess around with the image and edit, and can even instantly upload to Youtube for you. Very nice!

However, this is proving perfect for Macmame or anything running through Emu's on the laptop monitor, but now I'm left trying to find a way to turn it into an external monitor.

For instance, if I could make the laptop display what's happening on the TV, that would be perfect, as Screenflow just stays running no matter what. Anyone know of a way to turn the lappy screen into an external monitor?

Thanks again. :)

Lol, that's kind of what I figured. So I'm basically screwed for RGB compatible stuff then, as none of those support RGB scart inputs and will clash with an XRGB.

Fuuuuck.... :roll:
