I was testing out Quake 3 and I think I am gonna move it over to my TV. The game seriously is much better on the eyes on a television with s-video. Before I had it on VGA. However its so freaking clear that my eyes can see everything....so much that the frame rate and resolution starts giving me a headache. Q3 on dreamcast does not run at a full 60 frames per second. Its full speed but does skip a few frames.
The only FPS on dreamcast that is a full 60 frames per second is Outtrigger. Which looks goddamn so beautiful on a pc monitor that i want to have its children. So I switched mine over to the TV now, and I put a board on my lap for the mouse and kb. Not too bad. If I ever get a proper analog controller setup, then i'll switch to a controller format. |

when you say s video do you mean scart? i have a pal dc with a nice scart connection to an amazing lg tv that supports 60hz and ntsc picture, with some of my appliances i can choose ntsc display or pal, and this cable i had shipped from america gives an ntsc picture, quake 3 is one of the most amazing games graphically i have ever seen, the scart lead has about an inch out from the dc a connection to plug audio cables (red white and yellow) to my monstrous higi so you can imagine games like ikaruga on it. i cant love it enough! | ||||

Scart is different than s-video. I think scart is a PAL only thing, just like s-video is NTSC only, but I could be mistaken.. |

You should install gamespy 3D so you can monitor it from your PC. And just keep refreshing. Check the Quake 3 IP thread about how to do that using gamespy 3d. Is is a user run server or a public server? | ||||

Good lord! my pc dies 3 weeks ago and i finally return to find 2000 unread posts! my eyes, they BUURNN! ok, i agree that q3a is best over s-video or anything other than vga. when i had my friends copy, i started playing it on vga and actually got sick while playing it. it may look all crisp and shiny on vga, but its a fair trade off. i'd rather not have to stop in the middle of an intense frag fest to go vomit. now, its time to catch up... *Exits topic* *Pokes head back in* Oh yeah, VIVA LA DREAMCAST! *Exit* |

when you connect the DC to the monitor, what refresh rate does it give you? Isn't 60 hz on tvs? 60 hz kills my eyes, I need my monitors 80hz to keep me from getting sick. | ||||
|
||||
lol 50hz must burn ur eyes! | ||||

Connecting the DC to a monitro gives you 50 hz refresh rate? Thats a mad low refresh rate. That would like give me a headache in one minet. | ||||

A scart cable can be a AV (normal TV signal) or a RGB cable. Check the cable pins - full pins is RGB. S-video cable end is round. Its not a standard in europe. |
