I tried with my Sega Saturn with s-video. Now my plan is to buy a RGB cable to improve the image and use this setup.
awesome work svcoco!
you'll definitely want to use RGB, Component or HDMI input for the best quality when converting to 240p, as the others have mentioned it's not really worth using sources that are already 240p. (even though the increased input leg probably isn't that noticeable on a CRT)
480i, 480p, and 720p sources are definitely a great idea to try with your setup.
PS2 is a great idea, you can get rid of all that interlacing for most games, it has a few 480p titles as well.
GameCube, most games support 480p and those that don't can usually be forced into that mode using Swiss or other tools (you could even use the Game Boy advanced player for some awesome to 240p fun)
Xbox, most of the library is 480p has a lot of great emulators you can use
Wii, very similar to the Xbox with most games supporting progressive modes, has a ton of emulators and the virtual console
PC, the HD+ is great for connecting your computer to the TV ( just use the HDMI output on your video card) tons of great titles and cycle accurate emulators ( even new games) you could play with this method.
anything with HDMI output, pretty much any of the recent game systems can be connected this way. (wiiU might also be a great choice)
I don't think most people realize just how much potential fun a setup like this gives them. if you get a chance svcoco, try some of my suggestions and post a few more pictures.
