   Yeah, I definitely wouldn't go above S-Video for PS2 stuff either.

   It's kind of odd, but my X'Eye and Genesis 32X are the only systems that   
   I had trouble with any kind of artifacts on screen.  I'm not having any   
   trouble with uneven lines or distorted colors, I'm just getting a   
   strange flicker on flat background colors.  It's so subtle that   
   everybody I've tried to show it to have told me that I'm imagining   
   it/being picky.  When I bought a Composite to S-video passive converter,   
   only my Genesis and X'eye were negatively affected.  My DUO/R looked   
   about how TG16 games looked in Magic Engine without a filter, but my   
   Genesis games had crazy color bars on things that I know, from   
   emulation, didn't have dithering of any kind.  It makes me think that   
   the video is doing something unique to aid the blur through Composite.

   Well, my original DUO had all kinds of moire effects, especially when   
   the background scrolled.  It was only a little less noticeable on my   
   DUO/R, but since I've gotten the RPTV it has all vanished.  My DUO/R is   
   easily the cleanest picture of any of my 16-bit systems.
