#scart — Public Fediverse posts

Finally, a mess of RGB SCART cables has arrived. Let's get funky with the OSSC and some retro consoles.

Holy shit, I managed to install the #Hispeedido #HDMI thingmabob for the #Nintendo64 and IT'S BLOODY WORKING! :-) It was a bit of a nightmare soldering it to what I believe is the GPU and I wasn't sure what to expect. Where the graphics of the NES and SNES would probably be crystal sharp since it's mostly 2D, the Nintendo 64 was the early days of 3D on the console, and textures and effects are honestly not that sharp.

While the HDMI board probably offers a little more sharpness, it offers much richer colors and no color bleeding. It also offers convenience - no need for a TV that has a #SCART port or an #upscaler device. I do have several of the latter ones though, and worth noting is that the #OSSC device probably won't help you, since it doesn't like the N64's composite video signal.

Sound is included in the #HDMI signal, and so far it's pretty awesome! :-) What should I play first?

Took a day to track down an interesting issue: an absolute ton of noise coming out of the `gscart` SCART switch. It was bad going through the RetroTINK 5X and intolerable coming through the RetroTINK 4K. Started with the SNES, swapped out cables and it was still there. Then copied the ROM and save state over to the MiSTer and saw the same exact issue with analog output from the MiSTer.

It was weird because the SNES is RGB modded via Voultar's SNESRGB and should have some absolutely pristine RGB out, and the MiSTer should also have some great RGB output via the Saturn RGB output on the back. However, after some fiddling and upgrading the MiSTer: it was the USB power going to the `gscart` switch.

I was using the USB outputs on the power strip attached to the AV cart. After moving it to a known quality USB power adapter, the noise was gone.

TL,DR: If you have a `gscart` switch, make sure you supply it with some quality power otherwise you're gonna have a bad day.

Got the modded PS1 (SCPH-5501) connected to the PVM via a gwscart switch using RGB (CSYNC). The switch doesn't seem to have any issues with the signal coming in from the PS1, and the Retro Gaming Cables cable (EuroSCART -> RGB+Sync+Audio) is absolute quality. If it weren't for Silksong at the moment, I'd be jumping into some retro games.

#SCART naar #USB ?

De moderne tijd... SCART naar HDMI kan met een converter. Maar HDMI naar USB kan blijkbaar alleen als USB de output geeft. Ik wil specifiek USB als input. (dus van HDMI naar USB). De bedoeling is om VHS tapes om te zetten naar MP4 of een ander digitaal formaat.

Wie heeft een idee?

If someone wants to make similar SCART cables and keep things standardized, here is the pinout I used. The connectors are GX12/GX16/GX20 (10-pin). If you use a thin cable GX16 should be fine, if the cable is thicker like mine I would recommend GX20 (20-20 hind sight). #scart #retrogaming

In 1st image there are small dark dots (zoomed in image of the jailbar fixed image). Just tested the Duo connected directly to the TV and the picture has no more dark dots. The culprit was the SCART coupler I had in between. Quite satisfied with the picture quality now. #scart #pcengine

Finished (half) of my modular SCART cable project that I started halfway through repairing/modding my PC-Engine Duo. Finished the SCART end that has an aviation grade 10-pin connector. Now to make the ends that connect to the consoles. #scart #rgb #retrogaming #retromodding

The SCART casing now closes. Yay! Screwed on the custom 3D printed cable gland my buddy printed for me and it is done! Finally after months. I now have half a RGB SCART cable... Colour coded gland will help me easily distinguish the cables once I have made more. #dekita #rgb #scart #retrogaming

Decided to standardize on this pinout. 1 pin short to add s-video, but that's ok, coz you don't have luma and chroma in SCART, so when making an s-video cable I can repurpose the sync pin. #rgb #scart #retrogaming

Mein #TV zickt ein wenig rum, habe das Satkabel in Verdacht, Wackelkontakt denke ich.
Habe soeben das erste mal seit Jahren hinter den #Fernseher geschaut, krass der ist so alt der hat noch nen #Scart-Anschluss.

Dreamcast fix update

Got the parts console yesterday. Swapped nearly everything, bar the fan into the existing shell. It works now, although the controller ports cut out sometimes. Looks great on the CRT (SCART) and the monitor (VGA).

Things I want to do in the future are installing a Noctua 40mm because, that OEM fan is LOUD and getting that controller board sorted (although I lack soldering skills).

Yeah, I noticed things looked a bit worse when I switched to NTSC mode 😅

I envy folks who grew up with higher res PAL monitors and #SCART connectors 😁

Since the #Commodore #monitor already had solder points for a #RGB #SCART connector, I decided to make use of this and enable it to be used with my #Amiga 500. It was relatively easy and I didn't even have to pull the board out of the case.
Now I can use the monitor for all my Commodore computers.

CRT TV for Retro Gaming – The Beauty, Buying, Repair & Despair

CRT TVs for retro gaming offer stunning nostalgic qualities, but the maintenance, weight and size can be challenging. Here is my experience…

This is going to need a number of updates over time, with additional diagrams etc, but hopefully a good start and additional articles required to expand out individual areas :)

For Euro peeps this isn't so exciting, but in North America we never got #scart and it was almost like its existence was hidden from us. S-video seemed godly back then, but scart was basically an analog HDMI that was in use in Europe since the late 70's. I would have killed to have had this kind of video quality. At least now I do.😌 #retrogaming https://youtu.be/eabbQZkvNq4

I was having an annoying issue with my Super Nintendo, N64, and Dreamcast with RGB over SCART where the TV would switch to 16:9.
Turns out that if there’s a voltage on pin 8 in the 5-8V range, it tells the TV to use 16:9. For some reason, both cables were wired to output 5V here. Weird.

Desoldering the connection fixed my problem! Now the TV correctly defaults to 4:3.

Good! The #TV I picked up for free through #FINN (Norway's probably most popular #secondHand online marketplace), seems to work!
Which means I finally have a working screen again that supports #SCART, so I could connect my #Philips #NMS8250 #MSX2 #homeComputer again. :D
Man... those pixels are large 😅 I kinda wish I had a small CRT just for systems like this. 😂
