RGB SCART to Component looks very nice even on my crappy LCD TV.
That is as long as there's no FMV involved. Those Sega CD FMV games look absolutely awful with this setup.

can i just buy a US model 1 genesis and hope that it works with the RGB scart cables i have. I read on the XRGB-mini wiki that because my system was a modded pal version that forcing 60Hz could be causing the screen tearing/noise. So would just buying a regular US model 1 genesis do the trick with the RGB scart cables i have... i have on thats csync
Yeah, all model 1 Genesis output RGB.Quote:

The board will also boast an LM1881 to strip the sync coming in through the Scart connector and will also have an option for the square or rectangular crystal oscillator if you decide to change them (I'm including the square one with the board).
As it stands now the board will output NTSC video but if there is interest in PAL output I can add a jumper to choose between the 2 but the oscillator will need to be changed to change the clock signal into the encoder. I'm not too interested in PAL video but if there is demand for it I guess I can add it as an option.

wow sounds quite technical. No need for PAL output on my end. Learned my lesson the hard way. So would I technically need a power supply to power up this device? For a Model 1 Genesis?
Not necessarily but I'm putting it in there in case it needs it, model 1 has 2 regulators so it might be ok. I'll have to see exactly how much amps the encoder needs and what the systems output at the AV Socket. The Saturn and Playstation 1 were supposed to use this encoder but power requirements made it a no go atleast on the Saturn not 100% sure on the Playstation though, which is why I'm including the option to power it externally.
Finally got all parts in and designed a board and even threw in a jumper setting to choose between PAL and NTSC in conjunction with the correct crystal of course. Will be ordering these initial boards today and hopefully in 2 weeks or so have them in for testing and if all goes well sell them as kits and pre assembled boards.

So I got the boards in and have soldered one up but am missing some resistors to finish the Component side till late this week or early next week, also didn't test any output since I need to build my own scart cables (80% done). I'll have news on the progress of it all working out in a day or so and some pictures of the output.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Helder again.
exactly... told me the same thingQuote:

just a question to clarify... component has an output for sound? idk my way around your schematics and the actual piece to see what actually outputs the sound... I'm so lost when i look at these things.
When using the component output, you would get your sound from the white/red RCA jacks near the composite (yellow) output.Quote:

always wrong... I've been playing my pc engine duo lately with s-video using the rca output thats default on the system...
S-Video and Component use the same audio as the Composite so yes the Red and White RCA jacks. Like I said above I can't test the Component output ill I get the missing resistors but the S-Video and Composite should be working, will post results later tonight.
double post
Sega CD FMV games look awful no matter what TV you use them on. In fact... almost all FMV games are terrible in general!Quote:
