Does a Model II Genesis output RGB without Modification?

[Lucifer]

Cool.

Override messaged me about the situation concerning the cables and such and I see what exactly he is trying to do. I am going to confirm 100% with the seller if he did  ad the amp when doing the rgb mod.

Thanks again.

Did you get from ebay seller Doujindance? If so he puts in the amp.

Hi. Yes i did buy from him.

Great. So all i need is override to make the cable and I am set?

I also mentioned that he should look into making Genesis 1/2 rgb to component cables and Also doing it for the Sega Saturn. Since they all output rgb natively and don't require modification.

I would also buy cables for the Sega Saturn and Genesis 2 if he could make them.

Yub, just need cable and converter box.

And you said RGB to Component cables. Did you mean to say: RGB cable built for the component box? Yes genesis does not need any internal modification, the cables themselves need a few minor parts to get a correct signal. Also Override these boxes actually pull sync from Composite Video NOT the sync line, which makes it even easier for the Duo-R.

So Luc are you getting the RGB to YUV Component Box?

Hi.

I'm confused now....

I think override said he is going to take a component cable like that of the PS2 and then splice it up and connect it too a RGB scart cable that has an 8pin din head that would plug into the duo-r RGB port and then its all good.

Your saying I still need the converter box? I thought that having the amp inside the duo-r and having the cable correctly wired would allow it to pass the rgb signal through the cable into the component input of the tv.

Damn this is confusing....

The only surefire method I know that works is...

1. Use scart rgb cable that i posted above.
2. connect that cable to the scart input on the converter box.
3. Take component cables and connect them to the out of the converter box and then into the Tv and Viola!
Conversion is done inside the converter box

4. To get sound you would need to modifiy the exsisting RGB Scart at the 21 pin connector and add RCA audio jacks coming out of it so you can have audio. This is what pcenginesales told me she could do.

Here. I will post that video about the converter box I mentioned.

Ya, the amp only amplifies the rgb signal but does not convert. You are going to need a converter box or circuit to get component video. Override might be referring to using a ps2 to scart plug to use that little connector Doujindance sent u to connect to the box. Have u read my little article on here that covers a lot of the details? Search for RGB to YUV and you should find it.

Yes either get the special cable adapted from Pcenginesales to get audio or have someone mod the box. I posted pictures of how I modded the box.

Hey.


Ok i see what your saying..and i think i did see that pic before...you used a LR rca cable, cut it up and then soldered the RL+ ground to Pins inside the box and that gave you audio.

It does not look that difficult but I have not soldered before so i'd kinda be scared to f*ck something up. But it almost looks kinda fool proof..and a good thing to start on if your new to soldering.

Now from what I have learned from Override. I think I am not mistaken.

He plans to take 1 RGB scart cable. Hack the ends off of each side. The side that would go into the duo-r will have the 8Pin din. the side with the 21 pin connector would be connected and wired properly to a 5 head component cable that you can find for Ps2/Ps3 which would do the video and audio.

I believe he says the conversion can take place inside the cable.

Basically I just said..

"hey if you can get 1 made and it works and does the job of the box and its in 1 cable i'll glady buy 1"


Edit: Duo...Say I ended up buying one of those boxes...Do you think it would be better to go the component box or the HDMI box, audio aside?

[Duo_R]

Hey I would be curious about the 720 box but I wouldn't buy because I would want to use on both LCD and tube set.

Override shot u a PM.

[Lucifer]

Hey.

Yep got it.

Its going to be interesting to see if he can make it work. I hope it works.

I'm gonna hold off on any of the boxes for now and see what override can do. If its not possible than I will end up picking up the component 1 probably.

Thanks for all the info btw.
