Hey folks! Hope this is an OK place to post this.
Been experimenting with Launch box for a little while now, quite enjoy it, and hope to move up to big box as my project progresses.
Sofor the low low price of "get it out of my house" I bought a 25" Sanyo TV, made in 97'. I've got all the converters and such to go from HDMI to Coax and overall it works incredibly well. FBA and Mame emulated games just look absolutely perfect. Obviously, it's not the same caliber screen as the ones in the Candy cabs and such but it really does look great and it's a lot of fun to play on the old display.
The issue however is windows. It looks like garbage. I mean duh, of course it looks bad. The issue is I want to very soon use this TV in a custom arcade cabinet for my house, but I cant really see Launch box successfully on this TV due to the resolution and such and I honestly didn't expect it to be great.
Has anyone successfully used an old TV or monitor for arcade games with Launch box? How did you do it? Is it possible to have a monitor one show launch box and the games play on monitor two? Does Big Box have a feature I'm maybe unaware of?
Whether it's this exaxt TV or not, I'd like to use some kind of old CRT TV to emulate arcade games on. So of there's a type or brand of TV thats preferred or works well, let me know so I can look.
