The Gamma-X Add-On

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!!!

In order to kick off the New Year right, we wanted to announce the latest addition to The HD Fury Family: The Gamma-X Add-On!


The HDFury and HDFury 2 are the latest innovations in high definition gaming on non-HD projectors, screens, and monitors. The HDFury and HDFury 2 emits that 1080p detail, picture, and quality by converting lower signals into higher resolutions. Because of this, the HDFury and HDFury 2 have been the hottest selling third party peripheral, especially here at The Game Train!

Now, the company that brought you both the HDFury and HDFury 2, have included The Gamma Boost. The Gamma Boost can only be obtained through the new Gamma-X add-on. What this add-on does, is improve the overall shadow detail of games and movies without washing out the color. Without it, shadow detail is either limited or omitted from the picture depending on the scene. So the Gamma Boost only focuses on improving the detail that had previously been lacking in shadow details to create a more rich look.

The Gamma-X add-on is a plug-and-play addition – no special techniques are required to install it. The difference is: For the HDFury and HDFury Gamer Edition, you are given an extra cable driver which lets you use monitor cables or RGB projector cables of any length, instead of having to directly plug in the HDFury into the monitor. The Gamma-X will also have to require a separate power supply. However, the HDFury 2 will not need an extra power supply as it uses it directly through the HDFury 2.

While the HDFury and HDFury 2 is known for its deciphering converter, the Gamma-X add-on will only work for RGB signals and not component signals, including an HDFury 2 that’s set to component output mode. A boost for this source may be in the works – and if it is, you’ll definitely be able to find an announcement soon enough here at The Game Train!

Include the Gamma-X add-on to your cart today to improve your visual gaming quality for only £49.95! And if you’re thinking of grabbing an HDFury or HDFury 2, check out the specs in the HDFury 2 blog post or the HDFury product description for details and pricing!

Getting the Wii and the Mayflash Component to VGA Converter (YPbPr to RGBHV) to Play Together

Component to VGA transcoders are very useful devices. Amongst other things, they'll let you play your next get consoles on your PC screen in full HD glory.

To use the Mayflash 1080p Component to VGA Converter (YPbPr to RGBHV) box with your Nintendo Wii, you need to set your Wii to 480p progressive scan mode. Unfortunately, if you don’t have access to a HDTV it’s a little more tricky to set your Wii to display 480p.

1. Plug the component cable into the Wii

2. Plug the green plug from the component cable into the yellow phono input of a regular non-HDTV. This will give you a black and white screen from your Wii.

3. Navigate to the Wii Setup Menu.

4. Select ‘Screen Resolution’

5. Select 480p.

6. Insert the green plug, along with the other component cable plugs into the VGA Box
