A closer look at the SLG 3000 scanline generator and its performance while connected to a SEGA Dreamcast VGA box.
The SLG 3000 enables you to enjoy the look of authentic arcade style scanlines on a modern television or PC monitor. It can be used with most retro systems provided you first convert the video output to a 640x480 VGA signal. One of the really nice features of the SEGA Dreamcast is it natively outputs in this format so it's ideal for use with the SLG3000.
In this video I test out a broad range of Dreamcast games in an attempt to demonstrate the results. I did my best to capture the effects produced, but pointing a camera directly at a TV screen is never ideal. In real life the results look much better and pretty damn impressive (IMHO). But, I suppose you'll just have to take my work on that :P .
In this setup the Dreamcast VGA box is connected directly to the SLG 3000. From there it is connected to my Sony Bravia 32" LCD via a short VGA cable. There's no scaler or extra hardware used.
For more in depth reviews and info on the SLG 3000 as well as other related devices, check out YouTuber Faginrs500's channel. When it comes to scalers and scanlines he's pretty much seen it all and probably has a video about it.
