Well I typed this all up and then got the error that this is an old thread. Well I am not going to let the info go to waste....so thread revived...  :twisted:

You have to tap the RGB:

You can amp the RGB lines for a nice picture (but not necessary)

cheapie transistor method:

Best method (but harder):

if you are building the board externally, u need to get your RGB signal out of your system. Best method is to install a 8-pin din:



You then make a custom cable to hookup to the video encoder box of your choice. Match up RGB, and Sync to the pins. Here is a list of all the encoder boards that I know of. The Atlona board I got actually just takes RGB and Composite video to work (didn't need sync). This board on this post takes Sync.

There really isn't a guide on how to specifically use one board since they all act a little differently. Although Zeon, Mith and I could tackle how to hookup on a few of the boards. Note - the mod works with the HU6260 chip, and soldering to it isn't for the faint of heart. Let's just say this shouldn't be your first mod project.   

Thanks to Zeon for giving component video a shot on the Turbo after so many said it wouldn't work. I love my component Vid Duo-R!!!




Man do you have a guide or sorts for this?? I would really love to enjoy my PC Engine via componet cables
