Amiga 500 on a CRT TV?

 SCART exists only in Europe!

 Us, poor outsiders, don't have this option avaliable... :-(

Would buying a db23 to vga adapter and then a vga to svideo cable work? Or would this degrade the quality after so much conversion? This setup seems like the least expensive (I cringe at the site of the prices of those all-in-one converter boxes) and doesn't take good knowledge of modding computers or knowing someone who does.

hmm, that might work, quality should be same as neobitz RGB->svideo. I think you wouldn't need db23->vga, just rewiring should do.



Its worth mentioning that there are scart and there are 'scart' sockets. Many 'scarts' have composite or s-video only and lack true RGB on those 21 pins.

Found an A520 on ebay, starting at 20$...hmmm...probably gonna spike to 40 or 50 soon though..

I totally forgot about the Christmas price boost on ebay again this year. :-(
