you should be able to get it in with a tv/capture card, just plug it into the tuner port

What outputs do they have?

I've never seen very good rsults from playing consoles through a video capture device, with my ps2 2 differant devices I've tried both played the games within a box and the motion didint look smooth and the image was blurry.

true thinking about it you really can't have top graphics with 10 year old consoles any way. i got the pc flatout and a mate got ps2 flat the pc kicks ass with the 6800gt card lol!!!!!! i think i'l just look for a cheap tv as my pc going to be my real game playing m/c!!!!

I use a Logic 3 TV tuner on my 21" monitor.
Connected are: PC; PS2; Standard TV aerial and I can put my camera through it I think on the AV - but not much point when PC is right next to it.
(Was about £50 though - so probably a small TV would be cheaper).

i'm not going to bye any new consoles just byeing all the sega consoles as the hole lot will be worth alot of money in years to come. all 9 of the consoles going to cost me around 400 pounds for the lot!!!!

Unless your TFT can handle 15KHz scan rates, you can't directly connect consoles to it. (very few PC monitors can handle 15KHz horizontal sync).

Instead you have to find something that will act as a scan rate converter. You can buy dedicated boxes, but they're typically in the range of £150 to £4000 depending on the quality. The Dreamcast can output VGA (640x480), but not all games are compatible with it...
