Sound is great, very good quality as far as I can tell.
Another big plus is the wavetable header inside the break-out box where my DB60XG clone daughter board fits like it was designed specifically for it. Much nicer than having it dangling on the Turtle Beach PCI card I used previously. Also MIDI connectors in the front for attaching my Roland MT-100.
Drivers exist for Windows XP and Vista. However, these drivers also worked just fine on Windows 7 64bit!
This makes it a more or less perfect card for running DOSBOX on a modern system with great MIDI capability. Joy!
And all this for the price of two pints, in Sweden anyway. Or if you prefer: one pint in Norway, or three maybe four pints in UK. :D
Not my pictures though.
I still have my DM 6 Fire in a drawer somewhere, awesome card indeed :thumbsup:
Picked up a new monitor yesterday.
Sony Bravia EX310BU 22 Inch Full HD Freeview LED
Costco have it on sale for £200 instead of £300 they're meant to be with a nice 5 yr warranty. (Even rang my old AV Store to see if they could price match, which they couldn't do)
Really surprised by it, 1080p for my PC, Playstation 2 and Xbox 1 work really sharp and clear through component on it. And best of all, my Amiga, MegaDrive and NES have never looked so vivid and sharp. Even manages to remove the blurry fuzz from composite connections, whilst still looking natural and smooth.
Oh yeah, Amiga high-res interlace mode through rgb scart works perfect, mouse moves through the screen really nicely without any tearing going on.
Another nice feature, it allows you to set the screen size and adjust everything and every input is treated individually, so my Mega drive is fully full screen without having to adjust when my miggy is switched on :cool:
Overall, perfect retro monitor/tv for me :thumbsup: will take some screenshots tonight. Results are outstanding.
