I bought it for my yaroze so I could view the entire brodcast signal (which my TV doesn't allow. It cuts off some around the edges), as well as play the games at higher resolution. I was curious, so I tried a PAL game, and I was suprised when it worked perfectly! So I ended up killing 2 birds with one stone, as I can now see the entire signal AND play PAL games. The device is called "JAM!!", and costs US$79.99. The contrast is a little off, but this can be corrected with a good monitor. In my opinion, the option of being able to play pal games is incentive enough, rather than what it's advertised for. (It's advertised only as a device to play games at higher resolution) This is really a great device, you can even watch TV on your computer monitor if you have a VCR. The monitor out is a standard VGA monitor port. If you want more info, here is some contact info that I got off a sticker on the bottom of it: USA: AIMS Lab Inc., USA Tel: (510) 661-2525 Fax: (510) 252-1572 E-Mail: support@aimslab.com Website: http://www.aimslab.com Enjoy! -- 'Darco darco@NOSPAM@bigfoot.com Please replace "@NOSPAM@" with an "@" to email me.
