    So I am playing Albert Odyssey for Sega Saturn on my friend's computer with the wonderful SSF Sega Saturn Emulator and an Xbox 360 Controller.

    My friend has an HDTV and wants to output the monitor video to the HDTV so we can play on a bigger screen.

    We need to know how we can do this PLEASE (this is the first time we have ever tried to hook a computer up to a HDTV)

    His video card is an ATI Radeon 9550/X1050 Series with 256MB RAM

    Also he has a PCI TV card, but we are not sure if that does anything then just let you watch TV on your computer.

    His dad should be bringing home VGA cables later.

    All advice greatly appreciated.

    You'll simply need the proper cables to connect from the video card in the PC to the HDTV. Do you know what ports are available on the TV (HDMI, S Video, Composite Video, etc...)?
