retro system improvements

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor over 15 years ago

so, i'm a retro gaming enthusiast, and i have a major issue now that i've upgraded to an HDTV.  my old games look like garbage!  i'm wondering if we could get you to do a show about improving the signal output of our favorite old systems (2600, nes, snes, genesis, n64, etc...), so that they can output in at least 480p if not in hd.  i'm pretty sure that each system would need to be modded in a different way to achieve this goal, so it might make for a nice episode in detailing each console.  currently, your only option to play nes games in higher res is with a wii, and the game is distorted due to the signal being stretched to fit widescreen tv's.  i find this to be a travesty, and am hoping to be able to, one day, play my original ducktales cart without the incredibly muddy looking graphics.
