Title: Who can make me a VGA to RGB/SCART Cable for Minimig?
Post by: Everblue on December 31, 2008, 02:26:23 PM

As many may know, the Minimig has an optional jumper which if set to 15khz, it will output a signal which is ideal of old school TVs... Unfortunately my soldering skills are non existant, so I was wondering if someone can make (for a price of course) me a VGA to RGB/Scart cable :)

Or else, if someone can provide the exact pinout - so I can ask for a friend of mine (who can solder) to make it for me :)

Hey Amigakit, maybe this is an idea for a new product ;)

Anyway thanks, and happy new year everyone!

Not sure if you have to send display information.

Oh shame, my TVs have RGB RCA type plugs.

Try this site then:

Yeah, you have VGA to component :)

Anyone knows if this would work to connect a Minimig to a CRT TV via rgb/scart?

To my understanding that should work as long as minimig displays correct screenmodes (PAL or NTSC).

I wonder if pin16 on the rgb/scart connector would be correctly connected (at proper voltage) otherwise most TVs wont switch to RGB mode.

Hi,
I suggest you to look at the solution for Amstra MegaPC (the one with a Sega MegaDrive/Genesis on an ISA slot). It use the VGA output in 15 Khz mode, but it can't work directly with your TV, you need to build a circuit for the video sync !

I dont need all that. Minimig has a jumper which sets the output @ 15khz. All I need is a straight and plain cable which includes RGB switch on pin 16 @ 2 volts (or something like that).
