depends on what you're trying to convert. if it's an RCA signal (as in the yellow coax cable), a vga-to-rca converter would work, like this one. or you could get this and this. both get you a standard-def experience. if you've got a component kit for an original xbox or don't have an hdmi-enabled current system, or only have a vga-based monitor, get this. if you want a next-gen console plugged into a monitor, you can just get an hdmi-to-dvi converter and plug it straight in, no changing required. don't forget to get a female rca audio (red and white) to female 1/8th inch plug for your audio out from the console to your desktop speakers or volume-adjusted headphones. note that if you need to go from vga to dvi, there's a lot of cheap gender changers available online. i have six or seven sitting around from graphics cards i've bought in the last few years. this will, however, only work on a normal monitor - a laptop monitor doesn't have an 'in' connection that it can take because of how it's been designed (unless it's a specialty laptop...i don't know macs all that well). if you want something that'll allow you to play on your laptop, you'd need a usb-based capture device. it's a different thing, and they can be really expensive. there's also lag time between the capture and when it actually happens, so you can't use it for real-time gameplay. edit: i should point out that i really do suggest buying from monoprice. they're cheap, their shipping is super cheap and pretty fast, and although it looks like a hack site it's got a lot of really decent-quality stuff there. will you get monster-quality cables there? no. but you will get what you need for pretty cheap, and they're pretty good quality. i've bought all my home theater cables from there, and i really like the quality of stuff i've gotten.

my name is prophet, and i approve this message. always glad to get unknowns involved.

probably because no one does anything on it.

i think that's the wrong picture.

in general, your ears are the best transcribing program out there. sit down in front of a piano and sound it out. that's how most of us got started with music.

dubbed just sounds stupid. and their mouths look dumb.

seriously, i wonder why jose bothers with us. he walks down the street and screaming women swarm him from all angles. i saw one jump off a roof to get a piece.

more girls on the interwebs? my head's gonna asplode. i can't believe all this.

because that's what neo was, man. that's what the movie required. you don't do a movie series with the scope of Matrix and not have it color your career. wait, diddly, did you just ask for Paris Hilton to be cast as a character in anything? hint hint - she has NO marketable skills, she's not even pretty anymore with how skinny she is. note that i said no marketable skills. included in that is acting.

i agree with this. reeves was awesome in 'replacements'! yeah, i know it's a joke. but i do think he's a decent actor.

if link's sword is a true longsword, the handle should be almost a foot in length to reflect the fact that the sword is a mile long. gives you more room to adjust your hands as you strike, and helps balance it as well. i don't mind the picture sizing ratio the way it is. can you do a rainy beach with some flotsam cast up on it as well? some driftwood, a shell or two...reflecting link's status as flotsam in this world as well. we need a title text that can be used as a banner on the site (threshold of a dream). and, lastly, mind doing a stylized rendition of the box cover as well? thanks. edit: a seagull flying off would be cool too.

i like this version.

THAT was the title! i knew we had one at some point. starzander, sorry i forgot what it was. hopefully this clears this up for you.

yet is the key term. don't be another avien =)

toadofsky - if you're not comfortable doing art for the website, that's completely fine. there are a lot of artists on this site.

generally artists tend to fit within a certain style. for example, pot_hocket is a classical guitarist, and bogusred is a pianist.

post here. i know there are some fans of this book series (considering that it's one of the best-selling book series worldwide) on this site. what do you think of this announcement? words not allowed: ea remix, DRM, too many characters

i have a 486 in my basement somewhere that kills old dos games, i love it.

give it a shot, that sounds cool.

i was thinking a little different style for the artwork, really. rather than doing characters - since you go through the game really not knowing what people look like, or anything - i was thinking more symbolic stuff. like, link's sword stuck in the ground, and that kind of stuff. and remember that we're going for a rainy-day feel, so something that's of a darker palette would help too.

dosbox on w7...? there's a point where retro gaming just requires it's own crap-puter. get an old laptop and put 98se on it =)

the mega-giga-tera-jiga thing might go in section 1, which will be an introduction to everything (along with a basic parts list, and why you need each part).

there's good chance it's the video drivers, too - since graphics card drivers are notorious for tanking games that should run and do on other systems.

starxander is doing the website, unless something changes. toadofsky, can you get him some artwork (if you're doing artwork still)?

so how long has it taken to complete most of the game? i'm not talking about 100%, rather just to beat the game.
