Upon further inspection, I do believe there is a fairly noticeable difference between the two, although perhaps not large enough to warrant an additional purchase if you already own the Toro.<br /><br />Pause the videos above of the Toro at 2:35 and Akura at 2:40, set to 1080p then fullscreen.<br /><br />The akura outputs a sharper image with next to zero colour bleeding. Look at the legs of the candle and the shadow around it as well as the background and the textures on the wooden floor and walls. Check out the clarity of textures on Iwao's face. It all looks so much clearer when using the Akura. <br /><br />I've never used the OSSC but have only heard good things about it. The problem with the Akura alone is that it's not an upscaler, it only outputs at 480p, so you're relying on your TV/Monitor's built in upscaler rather than the superior XRGB Mini or OSSC. I tried it on two of my PC monitors and it looked like absolute garbage when i connected it directly. <br /><br />Sorry, there isn't really anyway for you to tune in I'm afraid. You could just make a quick fake FB account and search "Dreamcast Junkyard" I suppose.The 1 Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04669716454144132046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-3720406561783532522017-06-15T14:36:50.114+00:002017-06-15T14:36:50.114+00:00I have an Akura and I have mixed reservations abou...I have an Akura and I have mixed reservations about it. I still find using Toro with OSSC gives me best results for using with modern displays. For capturing I go directly from the Toro to VGA input on my capture card.<br /><br />I don't have a Facebook account. Is there a way of not missing out on the Q&A? I am interested in the discussions and topics you guys will be running for upscaling and capturing.Teddy Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00509212685563267049noreply@blogger.com
