Scandoubler schematics
« on: April 07, 2007, 09:48:10 PM »
Ok, I know this has been discussed before, but I haven't found any real info yet.  And, it must be said, I have no idea what to expect here. :-)

So, does anyone out there have the schematics for a scandoubler?

I'd love to build one that slips into the RGB port.  I can get my hands on most parts, and the price is not an issue at the moment.
Code 6502 asm or... DIE!!

I did stumble upon this one, though.  Looks plausible to my untrained eye, and the Amiga RGB port provides all the required input.

I already own a similar item (link) but the quality from the composite is horrible.  Just horrible.

The ones with component sound interesting, though.

Are there any RGBI->Component cables/converters available?  I think that, plus one of those component to VGA adapters would produce an OK picture.

Probably, but it never hurts to search for new solutions.

Component to VGA adapters are cheap on ebay, $15 and up.  If it's possible to extract a component signal from the Amiga RGBI, then we have a decent and affordable solution.

While we are slightly off-topic:  Aren't there any VGA adapters for any game consoles that may be modified to fit the Amiga RGB port?

Playstation, Gamecube, Dreamcast, SNES..?
