The You Game!

[Shrooblord]

< just found out you can play a game of Snake on YouTube while you wait for a video to load. Nice easter egg.

[Imco]

< is feeling quite sad, after that episode of Game of Thrones.
Time to cheer < up with some Adventure Time!

[Hunchman801]

< wonders what was so sad about it.

[Bradandez]

< has a bad headache.

[Fifo]

< wonders how to record video output from a PC (VGA output -> Composite/S-Video).

< says that ^ could always see about getting a VGA capture device, so that ^ could retain the quality of the output.

< wonders where could < get that.

< Says likely online, unless ^ can find some local shops that may have any.

Also depends on what resolutions ^ plans to record. Basic things down to 640 x 480 at 60Hz then ^ could get by with AverMedia products.

Now if ^ wants oddball resolutions or lower resolutions that DOS games can output, then ^'d be looking at far more expensive items to handle it.

< wonders if < could just use a VGA to component cable, get a component capture device and use that. < doesn’t care about quality, < just wants something that’s watchable.

< has a bad headache.

< hopes ^ gets better soon.

[Bradandez]

< is better now. Thanks ^.

[Fifo]

< is installing Windows NT 3.51.

< guesses if such an adapter exists (might be active, not passive), but always could be worth a look for ^.

Active? Passive? < was referring to a cable, not an adapter:

< wonders if it would work if plugged into a device like this:

< slept for over 14 hours...
< feels pretty shitty right now

< Says that active solution is a device that does processing to convert one signal to another or upscales it. Passive is just a simple cable adapter. In this case, the cable won't work. It's not that simple.

VGA typically outputs RGBHV (Red, Green, Blue, Horizontal, and Vertical signals.) A prime example of this are BNC cables you can buy for certain CRT monitors.

However, if ^ has a GPU that has support for component (or S-Video) then that would be beneficial.

< thinks this would be the simplest (and I think cheapest) solution for recording VGA…

VGA to AV converter

…as <’s PC only has integrated graphics.

[Ambidextroid]

< finally got <'s copy of Rayman 1 for PS1. Time to get playing!

< wonders if it’s a PAL or NTSC version. Also < wonders if it’s a Platinum/Greatest Hits or a black label version.

[Ambidextroid]

It's PAL, but < doesn't know what the 'label' refers to. It's just the standard case of no particular edition.

A black label version of the game has a PlayStation logo on a black background:

and a simple design on every disc:

< hopes that clears it up for you!

[Imco]

<'s got the beautiful yellow disc

< wonders what was so sad about it.

Well... [The Sansa rape scene in the end made me really angry. Who the fuck does Ramsay Bolton think he is?!]

[Fifo]

<'s got the beautiful yellow disc

Me too! < only has 1 boxed Platinum game in <’s PS1 collection

[Ambidextroid]

Ah, yes, < has that verion

[Fifo]

Ah, yes, < has that verion

< wonders what do you mean by ‘that’.
