Also, any good OP needs to have a long section on every single specialty controller and all the games that you can play with them. Start with the Mindlink and go from there.

Does anyone know of a company that manufactures Turbografix composite cables? I found this guy http://www.ebay.ca/itm/TurboGrafx-T...=item27fabae9eb ,but the pictures don't look too good for the price. I suck when it comes to electronics, so haven't tried myself.

That might be your best bet, other than tracking down a Turbo or AV Booster or whatever. The TG16 can do composite out, but only through the pins on the expansion port (which the Booster boxes use) or with some mod work and RCA plug installation. In the former case, that's why TG16 composite cables seem to be uncommon; there's no easy way to build one. That said, a search did locate this: http://video-game-cables.trueaccessories.com/cheap/turbografx-16-composite-rca-video-output-out-box-w-knjqmirioili No idea how good or available it really is.

If you're patient this is coming out soonish http://www.db-elec.com/home/News/dbgrafxboosterrevbreadyforproduction It won't be any cheaper but will offer all video formats which is nice if you have a s-video port.

Bad news for those people whom were looking forwards to the HDMI NES mod and have an Everdrive. The Everdrive is 100% incompatible right now and would require krikzz to fix it http://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=12019&start=105 What's interesting is according to kevtris the issue is related to timing problems on various revisions of the PPU/CPU and part of why you were having issues on your NES univbee flyboi fucked around with this message at 02:12 on Jul 14, 2015 |

When I checked the battery door on the back I noticed it was amazingly dusty. I shook it and out fell half a cockroach. I quietly pushed it back across the counter and didn't even want to look at the games they had loosely packed in a crayon box.

On the games that I'm the only person that would ever seek them out front, the GameBoy Color version of Montezuma's Revenge is awful with some of the worst music I've ever encountered in a commercially released game. It's atonal, shrill, painfully loud and the only saving grace is that you can turn it off.

FML can't get signal, can confirm composite out is working on my 15" (click for hueg) (PVM-20L5 - manual : http://www.broadcaststore.com/pdf/model/671080/pvm20l5.pdf )     Have no way to test cable for SCART out or BNC to SCART connector because these are all I have. Hooray! Open to suggestions. Caitlin fucked around with this message at 02:18 on Jul 14, 2015 |

What console are you trying this with? And have you tried reseating the SCART end of the cable into the BNC end? SCART connectors aren't always as grabby as they should be.

What system to you have hooked up to the PVM? It looks like you are feeding your RGB directly in, so is the sync from composite video or composite sync? My PVM won't resolve a sync from video, but it will show a garbled image if the sync is incompatible. Your set looks newer than mine, maybe you are feeding composite video in as a sync signal, which is very common, and maybe your PVM just goes blank if it doesn't like the sync. Find out what is on your SCART pin 20, composite video, or composite sync.

...like I said, it's a Saturn, and it's an RGB cable with CSYNC with euro pinout which shouldn't make much of a difference. https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk/sony-pvm/sony-pvm-scart-converter-bnc

A NTSC Saturn does not have CSync and uses composite video for sync. Does your adapter for the PVM have a LM1881 circuit in it? If not that's likely the issue. I don't think PVMs like composite for sync. Edit: like this https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk/female-rgb-break-out-scart-to-4-x-bnc--2-x-rca-for-sony-pvm-monitors

I don't think PVMs like composite for sync. Just who I was hoping would respond. I definitely did not buy that one. Thank you for that, it really saved me a lot of hassle (even if I did blow money on that cable I guess). SNES or NGCD or any other systems that'll work with the CSYNC adapter stock? this is amusing because I checked with the thread before purchasing my BNC adapter to make sure I was getting the right one

Are there any option boards in the back of your PVM? Probably not, but you never know?

SNES or NGCD or any other systems that'll work with the CSYNC adapter stock? Well I got it backwards, it's PAL that has 9V instead of CSync. Try taking the sync cable on your connector and hook it directly to composite video. If it shows a signal and looks right then you have the wrong Saturn cable which doesn't use csync. Either you would need a new Saturn cable or the LM1881 breakout connector to fix it. As for other systems with csync SNES and Dreamcast both have it as well as Neo Geo CD.

Hooked sync to composite A, switched to line A, shows 480/60i but just a black screen. Thanks for letting me know about the other systems though, as I can do all three of those. Cable definitely uses CSYNC unless they mislabeled it. https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk/sega-saturn-rgb-av-scart-ntsc-cable-tv-lead-cord-with-rca-sound-breakout

SNES or NGCD or any other systems that'll work with the CSYNC adapter stock? The cables should be wired correctly for a north american NTSC Saturn (as well as the SNES, Genesis, Neo Geo, etc), and I tested the exact same setup on my PVM. It may just be a matter of getting the PVM set up properly, or one of the cables may have been wired incorrectly. Which model/revision Saturn do you have? Also, which options on the PVM have you tried already?

I mean, at least everything related to signal input/output that I could think of.

Cable definitely uses CSYNC unless they mislabeled it. Well if it's a black screen but is showing a sync that means that it's hooked up right and should be syncing on the RGB input as well. Not sure why you wouldn't get sync on the RGB side as well.

Or is it just blank covers, as in the image above? If there are add-in boards, the display might be monitoring them for a video signal, rather than the standard inputs.

If there was any kind of add-on board, and the option is enabled, the display might still be trying to get a signal that way? EDIT: Those buttons tell the system to switch to the optional BKM input boards that could be purchased and installed for the 20L5.

Been looking to see if I could find anything but the only thing ive found is a cryptic reference from here http://retrorgb.com/saturn.html " If you have trouble with the RGB SCART cable linked above, your console may require using composite video or luma as sync. You can try to modify it yourself, or just order a Saturn RGB SCART cable that gets sync from composite video." No explanation unfortunately, seems to be some dark art.

If you have the consoles/cables, I'd recommend testing component video using RCA-BNC adapters (and with EXT SYNC off), just to make sure that input is working correctly. Edit: On my PVM, it requires Input A/RBG, Line/RGB, and EXT SYNC to all be enabled for RGB to display properly. If Line/RGB isn't selected but the other two are, I get a blank screen with no video (although I don't get the "No Sync" message). Maybe there is an equivalent to that on the 20L5? In any case I'd contact RGC, they are usually pretty helpful. Monitor Burn fucked around with this message at 03:49 on Jul 14, 2015 |
