RGB mod question
« on: March 28, 2014, 04:40:19 AM »
I'm thoroughly confused on RGB modding.  If I RGB mod my Super CDROM2 to 15khz RGB output, will I be able to just plug that into a Sony Vega w/ YPbPr  inputs?

RGB =/= component. You'll need to use an RGB to component converter like the CVS287 in order for you to use RGB on your TV.

hmm... this mod might be getting a bit too expensive.  or, rather, not worth the cash layout

If you want one of those schweaty, just pay Turbokon and I'll toss one into your package of parts I'm already sending.  I can get one from Turbokon at MGC.  Might save shipping one separately.

this is a good plan... i'm so stoked with all the work i get to do on my machine.  am i the only one who gets about as much satisfaction fixing and modding these things as i do playing them?  im like a mechanic nerd.

BTW - anybody know a good place to pick up composite feed through jacks?

If you are planning on possibly getting a Sony PVM monitor it's nice to just do a RGB mod since you can always get a RGB to component converter if you want to hook it up to a regular tv with component

not really female - female jacks.  the kind you install on a console for the component outputs (RCA).  maybe i'm calling them the wrong thing?

are there any good RGB to component converters that will take the RGB signal with RCA jacks ?  the reason I ask is because almost everyone who contacts me for a RGB modification wants a scart cable wired up and frankly using RCA jacks would be a lot easier.

Scart is kinda like the standard connector here though in the retro gaming world. Some people make custom cables but most converters/switches for rgb out there have scart adapters already
