For my knowledge, you need like aome kind of tuner, or if you got it like that get a plasma or flat screen that's compatible with a computer and a TV. Hope this helps. ;)

You can try this if you have HDMI on your TV:

Most LCD's and Plasma Tv's have a vga port built on the Tv itself.  I have a Sony Bravia LCD and it has it built in.  I just plug the laptop into the TV that way and play mugen with my buddy.
I also use that for the VGA adapter for my Dreamcast.   ;D

Hey back in 2005 I had a 19 year old wooden 20-ish TV. I now have a 34" "HD Ready" TV whiched set my parent's back by 600(it used to be 1200) because it got damaged from getting it out of the storage area.

I have an S-Video out, and i just plug it into the front of the TV, and I have a audio cable that goes from Headpohone to RCA for the sound. Mugen has to be switched to a lower resolution to work though, or else it just wont start up at all.
