If you can then it is possible to do a video mod either a homebrew one or purchase one from 8bitdomain (but you will wait a long time) Another alternative is an NTSC capture card and a PC.

mimo Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Some people also get away with input through a Video recorder that has an NTSC+PAL tuner, then output that signal to the TV. I never found a VCR that could do that though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
