I discussed this issue with Gulliver a few months ago and decided to take this route. The image quality over SVHS is really quite decent, but one problem I found out is that it is dark. I don't know how to describe it accurately, maybe the contrast is too high, but it is really noticeable. When you have dark scenes in games or demos details are hard to see and some color combinations are really difficult to make out (like brown on dark blue etc.). It is evident even on small things like the WHDload load screen where the normal pattern blurs into solid dark blue. The picture over Composite is much less sharp and the colours bleed, but the brightness is significantly more natural.
Maybe it is possible to tune it somehow, but I haven't been able to so far.
Also the SVHS->VGA box gets quite hot.
Does anybody else have these problems with SVHS?
Otherwise the solution works fine, but this annoys me a lot.

I guess i am lucky enough to use a LCD monitor/TV in which i can adjust contrast brightness, and gamma thru an OSD menu, so i dont get that contrast issue. Anyway you can allways finetune the RGB>SVHS converter, it has a built in trimmer for adjusting the signal.
And yes the SVHS>VGA adapter gets incredibly hot, but i simply added a cheap PC cooler cutting a bit of the case of the device, and soldering the 2 proper supply wires, and voila, no heat problems.

Could you please point me out the thread of the Picasso96 driver for the Indivision on EAB? I must have missed it!
