Duo-R RGB modded question
« on: March 20, 2011, 03:12:01 AM »
Hi all,

New to the forum.  I'm considering getting an RGB modded Duo-R.  My question is that the seller offers either a European SCART cable or a Japan SCART cable.  I'm not sure which would be of more use to me here in the US.  I may someday get an XRGB, making the J-SCART necessary, but I'm not about to plock down the cash for one of those any time soon.    The monitors/televisions I'd be hooking the system up to all have either VGA, HDMI, or component video inputs so I'd need to get some sort of SCART -> (HDMI/component/vga) adapter also.  Are those adapters usually made for European SCART pin-outs?

Thanks for any advice!

I recommend going with the scart pinout. The scart -> component transcoders are a lot cheaper than an xrgb, and even if you do one day acquire an xrgb, you can always build your own scart to japanese rgb adapter cable. Its just a matter of switching around a few pins on the male end of a male/female scart extension cable.

Hope this helps and enjoy your new Duo-R console! :D

Welcome to the forum :)

Thank you!  And thanks incrediblehark for the advice.  That sounds logical.  I'm just not familiar with SCART anything.

Well I bought one of doujindance's modded Duo-R machines off ebay.   He offered to give me the Japan RGB-21 cable in addition to the euro SCART cable for a small extra fee.  (just incase I ever decide to get an XRGB).  Can't wait!

Does doujindance do good quality work? I've considering buying one of his mods myself.
