Connecting Amiga to All-In-One PC
« on: August 11, 2013, 06:08:59 PM »
Hi everyone!

I need opinion for what would be the best way to connect old non-flickerfixer equipped Amiga to my everyday pc;

http://hothardware.com/Reviews/HP-TouchSmart-600-Review/?page=2

http://hothardware.com/articleimages/item1429/big_hp-touchsmart-600-left-side-view-compartment.jpg

The purpose for this, is that I like to tinker around with old hardware, but I need good screen for this. I don't want to drag my old RGB 1084S on the table, so I'm asking, what is my options with this?

I already managed to connect Amiga using A520mod to Video input port. Picture isn't as I prefer it to be. This machine have TV-antenna input, but regrettably no SCART.
I'm thinking, will these SCART-to-HDMI adapter boxes work?

 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SCART-to-HDMI-1080P-HD-Upscaler-Adapter-Converter-Economic-Box-/121137508584?pt=UK_Sound_Vision_Other&hash=item1c345bb0e8

Or am I stuck with TV-mod?

You could get one of the RGB to Svideo converters, it should give you good picture quality. On the bottom of his page.

Hyvä Arttu, osta Amigakitistä oikeanlainen SCART kaapeli ja kytke se ihan tavalliseen lituska TV:hen, saat hyvän välkkymättömän 640x512 kuvan.

http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=226





Jos kuva suhde on tärkeä, niin huutonetistä löytyy 20€ vanhoja LCD telkkoja joissa on oikea kuvasuhde.

Oikea kaapeli on tärkeä, vanhoissa kaapeleissa, kuten se millä olet käyttänyt tuota 1084s ei ole kaikkia tarpeellisia piuhoja kytkettynä. Olen testannut jonkun 6 telkkaa ja vain yksi ei ole toiminut, siinäkin se johtui siitä että siinä ei ollut oikeaa RGB scart liitäntää, vaan composiitti scart. HUOM. normisti noissa on vain 1 kpl oikeita RGB scart paikkoja, toinen on tuollainen mikä vaatisi vaikka tämän A500:ssa tuolla saa vain mustavalkoisen kuvan, mutta A1200:ssa sillä saa väri kuvan, kun piuhan kytkee siihen modulaattorin vieressä olevaan keltaiseen liittimeen. Tuolla tavalla kytkettynä kuvan laatu on huomattavsti heikompi kuin oikealla SCART piuhalla, mutta ko. adapeteri tulee vaikka nintendo Win mukana.

Although I haven't read Dutch, this resembled so much of German that this wasn't difficult to understand. ;)

That's very funny. But seriously. Someone has a problem and asks for a solution. The solution is now in a non-English language that most here can't read, making the answer useless to most people. Now when someone has a similar problem and they do a search, they'll find your thread, think 'Great!' only to find out it's in a language they can't read.

Post in English on an English forum. Not too much to ask, right? Or send a PM ;)

Yeah,

My native language is not English, but the forum is in English, and i can understand.

Its like i write en Español, donde posiblemente no todos puedan entender los que estoy escribiendo. Es un hecho que todos somos seguidores C= Commodore Amiga y eso es un solo idioma, pero hay ciertas cosas en las que si el foro es en Inglés, mejor respetar eso. :)

Regards!.

I had no problems with read finnish :p

Well, to be honest, it wasn't first time i see something else than english language here, but first time for me to see something written in finnish. So what's the point, no one heard anything about something like google translate or similar web pages?

Eihän se nyt niin vaikeaa ole :D

Shouldn't need that on an English page.

Sort of overblowing things regarding semantics about languages.

If the OP got a clear answer to his questions in a language that was easier for him to understand, it's not going to keep me up nights browsing through a post or two in a language I can't comprehend, even if A.org is an English based forums.

If the fellow got his questions answered, that's good as gold to me.  Life is too short to get pissy about some guy posting in Finnish :)

You're wrong, it is primarily a matter of courtesy to respect the official language of the forum, no matter what language he speaks. Why should the majority of readers be plagued with translations, just because he's obviously too lazy to do it by himself?

It did not bother me to much about the reply being in the op's native tongue, but out of interest i put the reply through a translator and parts make no sense, so next time i won't bother and will just skip that particular post, so i can understand why it annoy's some people as they can't understand it with or without a translator.
