Limited Run Games, perhaps best known for taking obscure but beloved games from the digital sphere and giving them bright and amazing retail packaging, teamed with Pound Technology to be the "exclusive preorder destination" for the new PS1/PS2 HDMI adapter The PlayStation and PlayStation 2 consoles already output an RGB signal, and before now, the best way to experience the games on their original hardware was through a convoluted, but satisfying, set-up using a device like the Framemeister or a broadcast-quality CRT display and a collection of SCART cables.It's a great time to be a retro gamer, especially if you're a purist who insists on original hardware and software. Analogue, maker of the incredible Super Nt console, just announced the Mega Sg, a hardware-on-a-chip version of the Sega Genesis capable of playing original Sega Genesis and Mega Drive cartridges. It also works with the original controllers, and adapters for other Sega consoles are planned for next year.The PS1/PS2 HDMI adapter costs $29.99 and is available for preorder at Limited Run Games. The cables are expected to ship "mid to late November."Update: This article originally called the RGB signal "digital," which is incorrect. RGB is a high-quality analogue signal.
