This input card adds both a SCART and “VGA” input to Sony “L-Series” PVM’s and “DxH Series” BVM’s. The card offers a sync combiner that allows both RGBs and RGBHV into the VGA input and passes audio from the SCART connector to a 3.5mm jack. If you have an “L-Series” PVM, this is pretty much […]
Sorry for the scary title – This post is mostly just an educational piece with links to what you need, however there is a real risk of damaging SCART equipment if you use the wrong cable!!! If you’re looking to connect your MiSTer to a SCART device, I recommend either a properly built cable, or an adapter. […]
I’ve recently seen a few devices that all use a similar PCB to adjust the horizontal and vertical position of an RGBs output. I believe it was originally designed for arcade machines that don’t have easy-to-access controls, such as my MiniMVS. I purchased a JAMMA version to test and it seemed to work exactly as […]
There’s a new product from Axunworks that allows JAMMA-based arcade machines to break out the audio and video signals for streaming. There’s actually been quite a few products like this released in the past few years (and at least one more to come in 2021), but as usual, Axun put his own spin on the […]
There’s a new line of switches in the Otaku product line that offer auto-switching and a new layout. Before I get into the review, I need to warn people of an issue I found with the switch they provided me for review: When using normal SCART cables everything seemed okay, but using cables with sync […]
Nicholas Piegdon who goes by the name Falonn at AtariAge has just completed development on a new RGB Mod for the ColecoVision (and technically anything that uses the TMS992xA chip to generate video). The new mod is designed to address all of the outstanding issues with existing RGB mods. Most notably incorrect color generation, and […]
CastleMania Games is now selling qwertymodo’s ‘RGBench’: A device designed to make it easy to connect component video, SCART and VGA, directly into an oscilloscope, without constantly changing cables: https://retrorgb.link/rgbench I’ve personally tested this device and have found it to work very well for testing video voltages. It’s switchable 75ohm termination means it’ll work well both […]
There are many scenarios in the retro gaming world that you might need to use “VGA”, or RGBHV on a device that only accepts RGBs. I think the most common scenario might be people connecting 640×480 VGA to a 480p compatible RGB monitor, but there’s quite a few others, depending on your setup. Sadly, it’s […]
