New sub here I am glad that your doing things I wish I had confidence to do. I like this video because you show what it means to have nostalgia and love for such things. I bought my dreamcast when it was first released in Jpn and it still is in mint condition minus the orange box it was in (old man dad didn't protect it correctly in storage) but overall I had such a great experience with it as many did when I had house parties or events. That little box of love did its job until corporate messed up and left consumers here and in the UK hanging hard. Jpn was still holding on but eventually couldn't due to not have global revenue intact. Fast forward and now with Sega in the business of software as overall profit I hope they make use of the current status and make a mini Sega Saturn mini dreamcast to make up for the owners especially for us that took the punch in gut for them as they left us after. Good job and enjoy the classics!

Scanlines are what hides a *lot* of aliasing in games, it wasn't so much the blurriness of CRT - that was down to composite cables - as RGB/SCART/VGA looks absolutely incredible and crisp. CRTs used scanlines and the way that came out helps the overall image due to the way your brain automatically fills in and extrapolates missing data. Effectively scanlines are MISSING pixels, just pure black, but our brains extrapolate and fill it in to give the overall image even greater clarity and detail. Without scanlines (without CRT, basically) you're left with the cleanest, crispest, image, but also all the aliasing that comes with early low-res 3D :( The DCHDMI may be shockingly expensive, but it at least has an incredible hardware-based scanline functionality. I strongly recommend enabling scanlines pretty much permanently :D Also, in regards to Soul Calibur; the Dreamcast version was actually SUPERIOR to the arcade version, since the arcade was still running on the older Soul Edge/Blade engine, whereas the DC release was improved with a new engine and better visuals. Great stuff!
