Playstation rgb to hdmi for Amiga
« on: November 13, 2019, 06:57:49 PM »
I'm really surprised that no one has thought of this. Since the US doesn't have Scart as a standard for our TV's, we have to find a better solution than scart to hdmi. Most scart to hdmi converters has too much lag for gaming. So I started looking at the hyperkin / pound cables for the retro systems and stumbled upon this solution. The Playstation adapter is a perfect fit for the amiga.
Simply cut the Playstation video plug off of the cable and wire in a DB23 plug directly. Works beautifully.
I also wired in a left and right RCA cable to the audio lines in the adapter.

Here is the adapter I used.....
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MYVF61Y..._8JcZDbZSP810G

Wire colors in this adapter are as follows...
Red wire=red
Blue wire=blue
Green wire=green
Black wire=sync
Brown wire=ground
White wire=left audio
Orange wire=right audio.

Other wires, purple, yellow and grey are not used.

You do not need to attach the ground to the audio RCA jacks.

I will make a YouTube video soon and post it for reference.
Hope this helps some people out. =)
