I have a few CRT's in my garage, the problem is space. I don't have anywhere to put them, so that isn't an option. And I wouldn't buy a SCART setup just to fix a problem, just for better quality.

Oops, missed that post when I replied.

Sorry!

Thanks alot, Sin!
I can't afford the equipment right now unfortunately.
But as soon as I can, I'm going upgrade to that setup.
That picture difference is crazy!
Lol, I guess I can't complain, after all I did get the TV for $150. But still...
I just hope when I do get it, it will work and not have the same issues...

It might be worth checking local thrift stores and Goodwill locations to buy a good CRT TV for your retro systems. You'd get a better experience on one of them than trying your HDTV, especially with the inputs disappearing. I've seen big TVs at my local Goodwill for $15 or $20. I even bought a 30" Sony WEGA CRT HDTV for $20 there a couple months ago! You could also get a great Sony Trinitron TV at the same price.

So I have beaten FF7 up, down, and sideways....  I am now interested in mixing it up for my next biannual replay and was thinking of heavily modding a PC version to get a fresh look....  I have seen a ridiculous amount of mods to play with, yet I have little experience along these lines and would like some helpful information or guidelines on how to handle this....  Are there some excellent, top tier must have ones~?  Should I mix and match several~?  Even a pseudo review of anything anyone here has toyed with on a whim would provide generous incite....

You should check out the full HD re-issue of FF7 that Square Enix offered for PC last year.
